Hi Anissa288,
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Didn’t stop to look for this cache after reviewer requesting CO to check on this one.
Cache no longer here .. location now has a footpath where the cache was as was told by local resident

Floating around while the others use their amazing skills to find the cache, well, not much help was needed, *Throsbynchurch* had things well under control. Log signed and replaced and the scene evacuated OCW *Throsbyonchurch* and *DustyJasperJet*. TFTC! Your efforts in placing and maintaining this cache is much appreciated.
Found -- Thanks for bringing us to this location and Thanks for the hunt *Anissa288*.
Headed up to *Port* for a quick visit of my sibling. I have been keen to tackle this series as it looked like a great drive and I hoped it to be easy so I could keep time with my estimated arrival. Even if my arrival was not quite to time I figured I could grab the remainder on the way back through. This series didn't disappoint. I really enjoyed the drive and finding the caches.
We signed the log in either our names or our initials in some switcheroo form of LP, DJJ, ToC and then returned cache to its hide'y hole exactly as found.

After being locked up in the caravan yesterday getting cabin fever, we managed to get the washing done today and headed out around the Macksville area. We were abut six into our caching day when the heavens opened up, so we headed home stopping for fish and chips for lunch. By the time we had finished the skies cleared so we headed out in the other direction towards Valla Bch for a few more. Nice day with the 'Bloodhound' AKA Geowife managing to bag a few of the trickier ones without my assistance. It's about time she pulled her weight caching.

Mashed banana, mashed banana. I've replaced the damaged container with a new one also small and plastic including the original, nibbled logsheet (dried out) and a new log book. Made sure the owner knew about the change, and re-hid at GZ.

A big day of caching while being based at Stuarts Point had us travelling over forgotten highways as we attempted to join up from where we had stopped caching a few days ago. This is one we were able to find. Thankyou Anissa288 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area
Super cool hiding spot. Shame places like these don't operate anymore. Although we do love getting to our holiday destinations quicker these days.
I went bananas here
Eek !! Ook !! [:o)]
The banana is still there,
and the cache was too
TFTC at the side of the not so forgotten highway

TFTC we are spending a week weeding with the South West Rocks Dune care group and spending our spare time out looking for caches. Thank you for hiding this one.

Travelled down the coast to venture out with friends to wander along the old highway and some byways. We completed it over two days with ozglory joining us for the first day out and only bobbiesgirl and I on the second. Great weather both days made for 2 great days of caching. Thanks so much to both COs for placing this series for us to enjoy and remember the not Forgotten Highway!
Due to the weather starting to look a little ominous and traffic getting busier, we finished our day yesterday at the Valla Beach Intersection. Today, leaving ozglory behind as they had already finished the series joojoo57 and I came back today to finish it off for ourselves. This time we started at the southern end which was the obvious choice after some of yesterday's adventures . Again, the generic nature of the found it logs in no way detracts from my enjoyment and appreciation of the time and effort that goes into placing these trails. FP awarded for the container and to cover both CO's
Found at 2:46 PM GAFF3.
We certainly stopped here and bought some fruit in the early days. These shops were the first that we saw on our way north when we lived in Melbourne and thought that we could get stuck into some exotic tropical fruit - how disappointed were we! Bananas!
Thanks Anissa288.

Nice camo which is exactly what we thought it would be. Making a last minute run to get that blasted turtle. Thank goodness for all the new caches. 3457 10:36:00 AM Anissa288 without cachers like you we would have no game. Thank you. TNLN SL
Out & about on a sunny day perfect for finding a few caches. Log may be stamped Coongoola or small logs signed CG. SL

Quick stop on our journey. Took 3 of us 2 mins. Unable to get log out of container though. TFTC
Have made camp at Macksville rest stop. We headed back north to do another section of the forgotten highway. We had 1 DNFs a number of FTFas well. Co-ords seem to be quiet good. I can imagine all the hard work that went into placing this series & then the frustration of waiting for them to be published.
