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 powered 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 in the picture below
These containers have only a logbook inside them and no pen/pencil. Please make sure to bring a pen.
Strontium does not occur as the free element. Strontium is softer than calcium and decomposes water more vigorously. Freshly cut strontium has a silvery appearance, but rapidly turns a yellowish colour with the formation of the oxide. The finely divided metal ignites spontaneously in air. Volatile strontium salts impart an excellent crimson colour to flames, and these salts are used in pyrotechnics. 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.
