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