Geocache Description:

20/11/2017 Update: I will be maintaining The Periodic Table series until the end of 2017. After that either they'll slowly fade away, one by one. Or, if someone else wants to take over all or part of the series I'll happily pass over to them. I can even supply the tubes that are currently being used. BlaKids.

Welcome to the periodic table of the elements power trail. There will be 113 caches to each represent each element on the periodic table (until new elements are added). For simplicity sake only elements approved by the “International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry” will be included in this series.


The cache containers are small tubes as shown here...

These containers have only a logbook inside them and no pen/pencil. Please make sure to bring a pen.

Germanium is a gray-white metalloid, and in its pure state is crystalline and brittle, retaining its lustre in air at room temperature. It is a very important semiconductor material. Zone-refining techniques have led to production of crystalline germanium for semiconductor use with an impurity of only one part in 10-10. Certain germanium compounds have a low mammalian toxicity, but a clear activity against certain bacteria, which makes them of interest as chemotherapeutic agents. Source: Webelements

This power trail starts at Mount Henry Bridge and continues south down the freeway cyclepath. This power trail is designed for bicycles or walkers and will be extremely hard, if not impossible for drivers. There is however a car park and a playground near the start.
Please stay safe and enjoy the power trail.
