##Cache Maintenance Required please.##
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.
The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.
See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance).
If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on.
When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.
I will check back in 30 days to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided.
If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Thank you

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
There has been a buildup of caches around the Mid North Coast that have not been found for quite some time with multiple DNF's, Write Note, or Needs Maintenance and where the CO has not been able to follow up or are no longer caching. Consequently these caches appear to have been abandoned.
These caches need to be archived to stop visitors to our region from being disappointed after in some cases having to make a significant effort to get to GZ only to find nothing.

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 *Nudge74*.
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.

This one was the first of the day, I was caching with Groovydoo today who had found this way back so couldn't remember exactly where it was. The geodog, Max, thought it was a great spot with all the smells, long grass and hanging out with me. After poking around in all the usual spots GD eventually found the container for me to sign. tftc
A few logs to explore here and the grass is rather high but after a short search all was found. Tftc.
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.

What a beautiful sunny day for some Caching. We thought we would try and turn this frown into a smiley.
Today we found it straight away. We must have used our wrong magnifying glass last time, but at least it is now a smiley. No TB as listed.
Many thanks for bringing us here. TNLNSL TFTC

Found this one on 2nd attempt. While looking the boys in blue showed up and asked what we were doing. Once they knew they said hope you find it before dark as this is not the place to be at night.
We knew where the cache should be but it wasn't till we were about to give up that we checked a spot and it was there. A hide that shouldn't be hard but we were so close to logging a DNF. Didn't see the TB that's logged into it... it must have been picked up, surely there's no way a cache here would get muggled. TFTC Nudge74.
We checked in all the logs and holes, but unable to find the cache. Thanks anyway.
While based just out of Bellingen we explored this location and were able to find your cache. Nicely done. The scenery around here really is superb. Thankyou Nudge74 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area

Last day in Nambucca Heads of our driving caching holiday, and the only day that I have gone caching here. I only had an hour free, so had to collect as many as possible. Ended up being an hour and a half, with 6 find, 1 Earth Cache and 1 DNF.
Driving down this unused road, I could see some people at the train station wondering what I was doing.
Got to the GZ, and which one indead? After searching a few spots, a telltale sign was seen and the cache log signed
Thanks for the cache Nudge74

PS. TB dropped off

Well this is the end of the road,and for me today as it is now dark and I might head over the highway and get fuel and Maccas and head for home,thank you very much for placing these caches,I will be back to continue further.TFTC
I found my way in to this quiet spot from the 'forgotten highway'.
There's a great view of the railway station from the side of the road
Pity there wasn't an XPT due !!
So turning me attention to the cache,

Pays to look VERY closely at the map, i did a number of laps b4 arriving at the site. Cache itself was easy to find. TFTC Nudge74.
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.
Found at 3:36 PM GAFF 1.
Easy and quick easy to find, but hard to get to as we approached from the east
So many years in the making this road wasn't it!
Thanks Nudge74.

Out & about on a sunny day perfect for finding a few caches. Log may be stamped Coongoola or small logs signed CG. SL

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.
