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, the Aldabra Giant Tortoise is listed as an animal that is Vulnerable to extinction in the wild. However, the Aldabra atoll has now been protected from Human influence after having been declared a World Heritage Site, and is home to some 152,000 Aldabra Giant Tortoises, the world's largest population of the animal. Another isolated population of the Aldabra Giant Tortoise resides on the island of Zanzibar, and other captive populations exist in conservation parks in Mauritius and Rodrigues. The captive breeding programmes on these islands are to try and revive the species, and populations on them today appear to be thriving.
