Welcome to the Endangered Species Power Trail placed by specimenX & Rapidlywild
This power trail has been placed out near Bookham in NSW just off the Hume Highway, and will take you down along side the Murrumbidgee River.
Along this power trail you will come across some wonderful views, encounters with livestock, wildlife and an all round leisurely drive
NOTE: As these roads are within country land, please drive with caution and be aware of your surroundings at all times. There will frequently be livestock crossing roads and at times, you may be in the same fields as the livestock. Some of the road is bitumen and some is gravel, we encourage all cachers to check weather conditions prior to hitting the power trail to ensure the roads are not too wet and slippery. Also, please ensure that you give the farmers the respect they deserve; we request that cachers do not inconvenience the farmers. All roads are public access roads unless otherwise stated.
Due to the dirt roads and the livestock, we do not recommend this power trail to be completed at night time. Also, due to the location, phone reception is exceptionally poor (in some places it is nonexistent) so we recommend this power trail completed with a GPSr only.
Today, a number of tortoise species (mainly the smaller species of tortoise) are kept as household pets. The pet tortoise ideally prefers to live in the garden or part of a vegetable patch where there is lots of food for the tortoise to eat. Pet tortoises should have a diet similar to what it would be if the tortoise was in the wild and should not be fed other foods such as cat or dog food.
Most species of tortoise, but not all, hibernate during the colder winter months particularly those species of tortoise in the Northern Hemisphere. Tortoises must have an empty stomach before they hibernate and therefore tend to go through a period of starvation beforehand. Tortoises come out of hibernation when the weather begins to get warmer again.
