Geocache Description:


Have you done the A Gas series? I hope you did and enjoyed the mystery cache just up the road. So here is a place to release all that pent up gaseous pressure, and also happens to be an important junction in the gas pipeline.

I will at this point say that you should make sure you consider the attributes!

This is not for those who dislike many of those things associated with bush bashing, although you may think otherwise. Hence the terrain rating! You’ll need to decide for yourself the best method of approach. Please treat the cache gently. there is absolutely no need to be rough with it, it is an easy cache. Please BYOP!

The Eastern Gas Pipeline is a 797 km natural gas pipeline. It is a key supply artery between the Gippsland Basin in Victoria and New South Wales. The pipeline was commissioned in 2000 and was owned at that time by Duke Energy, and the stimated cost at the time was $450 million. The EGP is currently operated by Jemena, and has multiple branches supplying places such as Canberra and Port Kembla, as well as many other smaller connections.

I can recall the pipeline arriving in Campbelltown while I was attending St Gregs in 1978, and being amazed at how they would deliver these very large steel pipes which were amazingly bent to follow the ups and downs that it traversed. I really had no idea that the line passed through Macarthur Heights, and I thought about how many people that now live in this area even know why this stretch of land is here. So I thought, this is one way to bring it out into the open.
