Hello,

It is Rana Pirica, the geocache maintenance frog, once again hopping through your area to check on geocache maintenance.

Since there has been no owner activity on this cache page and it has been over 30 days since the request to perform maintenance, this cache has been archived. Please remove any remaining cache components if you have not already done so. If there are questions about the archival or if you would like it to be re-considered for listing please e-mail me or your local reviewer in response to this archival, and we will help to unarchive your cache if possible. I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and look forward to seeing your further participation in the future.

Cache maintenance is an essential part of owning a geocache, this one has an unactioned "Needs maintenance" log for 6 months, and multiple DNF logs.

Please decide what you're planning to do with it and post an appropriate note within a week.

cant find it as my friend and I have been looked for this but some of them are mess up looks like kids muggles had took it, can you please check if the cache still there or miss. thanks

Spent about an hour looking for this little bugger. No rewards. Team1605

7 no finds and no action from the owner, already has a needs maintenance tag to it, perhaps it is time to let it go?

How about some feedback, we searched for ages and could not find it. And for a supposedly 'easy' find it was not to be.

We found our first very easily at whale watching.Long walk to the cache think it has been muggled.

Think this one has been muggled????

Looked for a good while. Looks like it has gone.

Sure we had the right tree but could not locate cache just like previous 2 cachers.

Could not find after much searching.
Will try again soon

[Aussie Liahona didn't find this cache. Very disappointed. Searched for quite some time.] Looked behind obvious tree that GPS lead us to - not there. Checked other trees on the fenceline too just in case. Also checked under shrubs by other trees.[ No luck at all. This was our second no find today. Will try again another visit.

This could be muggle central but today it was quiet! Gave me a chance to return to an area where I have picnicked many times. TFTC

Low muggle factor today. Quick cache in a nice spot. TFTC

Needed the code for this one as there were lots of muggles around. Found it easily then and avoided unnecessary attention. Lovely spot and the kids enjoyed the break.

Grabbed this one quickly because of picknickers about--zipbag needs attention. TNLN.

no pen with us so couldn't sign the log. easy spot. many muggles nearby

Found it after a great walk on the beach and while the kids played on one of the many adventure playgrounds in the park. Took Lucky Coin. Left Glow Lizard. TFTC!

Found this cache but was wet, very wet.

found this cache to be very wet. not surpising after all the rain.

saw this one quite easy so i made out i couldnt find it trying to give 5 year old daughter the chance to find it.Hint made it quite easy.Kids had play at park so muggles didnt see what we was doing. TFTC

There were too many muggles on a Sunday after looking at the markets so we came back on Monday and had the whole place to ourselves. Easily found it as I was within a few meters the day before. Thanks for the cache (the daughter enjoyed it)

Putting some distance on a geocoin.

Fairly easy to find. Unfortunately just as we located the GC it began to pour rain. Enjoyed it anyway.

Eventually the muggles dispersed for the day. At 5pm we made the quick grab, signed book and departed the scene just before a muggle and her 3 legged dog appeared.

Found it. Once I read the hint.

Found it No. 1553 ... great park, no mugglers early in the morning ...TNLN

8:00 I thought that early on a Sunday morning would be smart time to attempt this cache as there'd surely be less chance of muggles, it appears I was quite wrong. Seems as though this was right beside the run leg of a triathlon today, so had to wait and wait and then use quick retrieval and return skills to make to the find. TNLN. Thanks for the hunt

Perhaps the full log-book can be removed by the owner to create more room for swaps?

Rated: for Overall Experience

Love this site

great hide a few muggles around today so stealth was the issue.
with 5 Kids 1 dog and 4 adults wemade enough noise to distract all who where around with out anyone seeing what we where really up to.

Nice hide

Had to wait a little while for a muggle family to finish dinner but then it was a nice quick find.

The playground was quite full of children, but cache found together with millu immediately. Thanks!

Found it quickly with PaBa. Thanks.

With JackyLegs on our weekend trip to Coffs Harbour. Easy find near this pleasant park. Lovely foreshore area. No coin seen in cache (inventory/logs appear a bit confused). Thanks for helping us explore Coffs - svn07

Note to drop coin in cache and retrieve

Found after a short stroll from the car park. Easily retrieved as no muggles around. Took coin PC2B6Q, which has yet to be logged as placed in this cache. TFTC, SL

Stayed in Coffs Harbour for an hour to get lunch before hopping back on my bus tour. Had a nice walk to the beach and found the cache on the way back. Left my last german geocoin.

In: Coin “1111111111+1=10000000000â€

TFTC,

Found cache without any trouble. Bit of trick to collect with so many kids playing close by.
TFTC

Found 10:20am. Nice and quick. Called passed yesterday afternoon, however muggles everywhere. Spied cache location but to risky. Only a few walkers this morning. TNLN.

A quick grab on the way to Sydney for TOP GEAR LIVE with geonephew 'Bedmaker'. TN/LN/SL

Found on the great Top Gear tour with Geo-uncle Lat & Long Junkie, easy find. TFTC

So Many Muggles. [:(!].
That will teach us to come on school holidays & a weekend.
We will have another go next time we are up is way.

We are over here in Coffs from Mississippi,USA visiting my parents. After spending some time checking out the sunday morning markets at the Jetty, it was a short drive up to the cache location - and we found the cache quickly.

Thanks for the cache.

Quick find on the way through to Sydney. Chance for the kids to have a play in the park. Easy find although there is a need to be sneaky with all the muggles around. TFTC.

A nice spot. I also went to school in Coffs and return each year to visit family. Had to wait for the muggle children to go home before retrieving the cache. Timed it well before the evening crowds arrived for the night fair. TNLNSL Thanks for the cache.

FOUND IT AS CASEYLEE86 AND 80SERIES1990

nice and simple. hard to look inconspicious.

Nice easy find. good one for the kids. was still a few muggles around even at 7.30 in the evening

Nice Spo, Good place to have a BBQ and let the kids have a go at this one.

Had lunch here on the way home. Nice easy find. Boys spotted first which makes them happy. Thanks Woyboys Left a new logbook as this one was full

First cache during a school holidays trip North from Sydney. Found at 7:30am before any kiddies were playing on the swings. TFTC.

Wow - loads of muggles around today, but they were too absorbed in their own activities to notice us stroll in and log the cache. Cheers Gav [3312]

Nice spot, found the cache and took some time out for the younger, and not so younger, members of the team to have a play.

TNLN and TFTC.

Cheers,

Found it! Our very first.
Took the 20c piece and left a fabric flower.
Thank for providing our first find.

Yes a very nice park area and a good hidy spot:)

#424 - Pleasant park ... enjoyed a walk on the beach after making the find. Thanks for the cache

Our first search and first find. Didn't take anything, just curious to see what was inside. Notebook needs replacing soon. Thanks.

Geofamily including GeoMum and GeoBaby made the find in amongst many muggles who had no idea of what was occuring. TFTC. (Needs a new notebook) The Bax

Found easily. Overcast rainy day kept the muggles away. Tftc

# 17 in Australia

We found this cache after a wonderful Whale Watching Tour.

TFTC - Sommer-Rotschopf

It would seem that half of Coffs must bring their little ones to this park in the afternoon. Waited for 30 mins or more and gave up. Came back an hour later and the coast was much clearer. Found GZ with no problems. Took Keyring and left TB.TFTC

Middle of school hols and a nice sunny day, so lots of mini-muggles. Had to go into stealth mode.

Took a chinese coin and left a toy soldier and stickers.

Visited with geo family. We didn't bring the clue and the coordinates didn't lead us close to the cache. We ended up looking in the wrong spot. Next time we will bring the clue!

Found it on dusk nice area lotsa Muggles about.

We were staying at a nearby motel whilst en route to Tambourine Mtn for a camping holiday & had time to grab a couple of caches here before dark.
Found easily & it was late on enough for there to be no muggles about.
Thanks,
The Hancock Clan

We found it together with Hoppetut.

I found the cache and take the tb out..

Thank you,

Nice easy pick-up to start the day.
TFTC

Oh foreshore this was an enjoyable little stroll
I managed to arrive just early enough so I could find and rehide the cache before the playground recieved its first customers of the day
It looked like mum and dad were just starting to set up for a birthday party too, so I was lucky with my timing here
TFTC. I swapped the belted kingfisher geocoin for a Diabetes Awareness TB.

Doing a TB drop off

Parked down the road a bit as we needed a good leg stretch. What better spot for a casual stroll. Great area and friendly people as well.Doing it mid week and late of an evening made it almost muggle free. Very interesting that we left the Kingfisher geocoin and noticed a Kingfisher watching us.

Found this cache ok but had to wait for some folks inhabiting the area to move on to avoid future "muggling".

Dropped "The Wonder Valley Bug" here however Krafty Charlie has logged the drop before me as I have been away from the PC for a couple of days.

Found it
Easy find
Left 20c

16:20
This was an easy drive by, but we wonder if the difficulty rating should be higher given the proximity of the playground. Cache quickly located even though today the satellites had the GZ 6m W of the cache site.

Great spot for the kids. Our little Geograndie found this one! Found with Eaglemaniacs & Meandering Martins. TFTH.

A very late entry for finding this cache.
Found at the start of a holiday trip from NSW to Qld and forgot to log it when I got back home.
Nice easy cache but muggles were problematic. Dusk was the best search time.
Thanks,
Rathard.

Popped into this cache after picking up some yummy dinner out at the Marina. Easy find in the dark. TFTC

We were quite lucky with the muggles. Some left just when we approached GZ and others came along we were done.

TFTC!

Had to come back to this one as there were to many muggles around.

Found a nice square hole where I think it should have been.

Easy find, once the ankle-biters were out of the road. Took the purple horse. Left a Botswanan coin.

Found with slowdad. There were a few muggles around but they were too busy at the playground to notice us. TNLN TFTC

I'd hate to do this one on a weekend it would be muggle central. Luckily for us there was only one family and they were too busy at the playground. Thanks for the cache.

First time visiting Coffs. Nice place

Nice quick find on our trip to Coffs from Station Creek. Cache was exposed but has hidden properly.

My first cache! had to wait for muggles. A good spot. Thankyou AB

GPS was sending us about 5 metres out but we did find it. Not much happening around here at 9.30am on a Monday morning, lots of playgrounds though.

Nice quick find. A lot of mugglers were close by but didn't spot me with the cache. TFTC TNLN SL

Found at 1530. Easy find at a quiet park today.

Passed by on my way back home to Gladstone Qld, after a return trip to Newcastle. Navigating the traffic on the bike, with trailer in tow, was more of a problem than actually finding the cache.

Found at 1455 hrs Qld time. Find number 15 for the trip so far. Watched the Countrylink train head north from the station. Unusual that a rail line travels so close to the ocean, well in my books its unusual.

Cheers

Great hide. Thanks.

Found the cache - nice hide, excellent loaction on such a beautiful day. Took tape measure. Left 1988 Dodger Baseball pin. TFTF!

A quick find at 5pm after the muggles dispersed from their picnic. Geokiddie made good use of the swings as we waited.
Took: marble
Left: cachecard 200707, Keyring tape measure.

Thanks for the cache.
