I went over the whole structure above and below and the ground surrounding spent over an hour looking
Looked for over an hour checked the whole structure and the ground around it with over 15 dnfs and 3 maintenance logs that have been ignored I think its time I gets archived to save people looking for something that's gone and getting dnfs
Now I have to admit that we only gave this one a quick search due to the number of other reported DNFs, but it is not apparent on that quick look.
This one has been missing in action for a while now and needs to be either replaced or Archived.
Well - laid on back - looked all around right at GZ - over under etc - no sign of any receptacle. Alas and Alac! Maybe gone?! RoamingParsons from Bargara, near Bundaberg.
Couldn't find it :/ looked really hard but no luck... maybe its been dropped or muggled? Maybe it needs to be looked at and replaced?
I will try and check this one soon for Orange Angels . I replaced this several years ago for the owners so will see if it needs doing again.
Spent quite a bit of time hunting for this one, but wasn't able to find it. In the end I got distracted and went and took some photos of pelicans Cheers Gav
First night time cache. Could have been very tricky - just got lucky. Good first day of our coffin bay holiday with team Affy. TFTC
First Cache for Coffin Bay. Nice easy find adjacent to the caravan park, which is where we stayed. TNLN TFTC. Bommy
Staying nearby on Christmas holidays, found without the aid of the GPS, so sure were we of the location. A relatively easy find. Our 25th find which was my target beyond which we can start our own caching.
Great day out fishing today with GT charters from Coffin Bay including a 6kg snapper and plenty of Nanagai and KG whiting. Mrs CC spent hours cleaning and filleting all the fish in sight of this cache.

Quite close to where we were staying. Took a bit of fiddling around to retrieve it but soon had it in hand. Signed log. Thanks Orange Angels
Found this by one of our fave places to sit and have lunch together and watch the birds and fish
Last day for the cache - kim rose help me to retrieved the containter for me. Signed the log. Thanks Orange Angels.
Thought this one should have been called Billy Goats Gruff
On bended knee we retrieved this little treat

Found at 1.00pm GAFF1. Not only was this a significant hide for you, but it was a also a significant find for us as it was the cache that equaled our friend Dak's find count of 5,546 before he died.
He would have loved this cache with the great scenery and the tricky method of the hide - not too difficult that you had to spend ages searching and excellent co-ords.
Thanks Orange Angels.

We pulled up and there were quite a few vehicles around but surprisingly no muggles at gz. After a quick search we soon found where your anniversary cache was located and added our name to the log. Happy Anniversary, we hope to around when you hide one for your diamond
Thanks Orange Angels for the cache

A tricky little micro near a handy campground. Stayed a while watching the pelicans and other sea birds competing for lunch. TFTC
Had intended camping in the national park,but it was full! So we opted for the caravan park, and a night raid on a few caches. TFTC
We tried on the 1st of Jan 2011 and couldnt find it. Mind you the only bridge I knew of (30 years ago) was up near the Boat Ramp (so who needs GPS settings, just go to where you remember the bridge is and believe you are RIGHT??) searched "our" bridge for hours) (C'mon this was our first cache) So anyway after another 1+ km of walking where the GPS pointed to the correct location we bombed out and gave up (a little bridge... what could be hard about that.) Came back next day re-clued up & found it. What a wonderful experience after coming 3000 km back to Coffins with kids.
Used to hang out here as a kid.

At first I didn't think I could find it but I let the fingers do some walking and found it more by accident. One day I am going to get bitten by doing this whilst cacheing.

Found eventually we were looking for the old cache and had to phone a friend to get us back on the correct track. Nice views.
Found by Mary & David at 1650. Delighted to be back here 3 years after our first visit. Mary looking forward to half a dozen you-know-what soon. Such a cold day after the lovely sunshine yesterday. Congratulations on your anniversary- nearly 39 for us. Took a while to locate the cache. Well hidden. Our thanks once more to Orange Angels.
We don't usually have too much trouble finding micros on bridges this small. It certainly rounds down the options with such a small target object. Couldn't spot it from above, so resorted to the next best thing.
This little town has some really well placed caches, and a good quantity of hides. Unlike Lincoln, where there's so many caches we just don't know where to start, this town has a good balance.
Thanks Orange Angels.

Found this on our visit to Coffin Bay, Took a while, and its a really good hide too. Nearly gave up when cincol spotted the goods
Did this one along with cslyoda on a trip south from Whyalla to Coffin Bay. Great trip with a few caches found enroute - and some DNF's to boot!

This was our 3876th overall find.
Found at 10:46 AM. We have just had out 10 year anniversary, I wouldn't even have a clue what it is (Shell probably does) but luckily I can find caches and this one was found with a minimum of fuss.
Thanks Orange Angels for the cache.

I found this one a while ago. Local friends said that the bridges rails itself were replaced, the cause of the cache going missing.

With permission of Orange Angels and a few phone calls have replaced this cache with a micro. Hopefully it does not get lost again.
Thanks for replacing the cache. Went to have a look just before Christmas as we were staying in the caravan park for a week. No luck. Then went back again on the night before we left just to check & Bingo there it was. Thanks to the BLT burger team for helping with the find.

Went looking on dusk which made it a little more difficult to find. A long stick close by and a quick dash back with a torch came in very handy!
No sign of a cache here on Christmas Day or on New Years Eve. But suddenly a micro appeared on New Years Day thanks to the scratchings of TheBLTBurger! I'm sure we looked there before.
Went for a drive to check this one out it has gone so we replaced it same co ords but in a different place
Went for a drive and thought i'd check ur cache as a new bridge is there and no cache is there. May need to check it out and replace it.
I knew these types of hides. I knew where to look. Found just like that. The ways nano's should be found if their existence is to be justified.
Clear skies from TeamAstro and our thanx to the Orange Angels once more.
This was the first find on our return trip to Coffin Bay. The Oyster walk is a lovely place to stroll. Now even better with a cache!
Thanks to Orange and Angels
Thanks to Orange and Angels
After visiting the antique shop at wangary we came into coffins. Knew where this would be, but didnt have the time to really examine it carefully. My sister and brother in law own the nearby oyster lease (among many) As kids we had great times at our shack down in kellidie bay; fishing, boating ,roaming the scrub etc. Often come here for afternoon tea, and will check it out better when we have a little more time.
With a cry of "aaaahhhhh" not another micro from Delta, we set out to find the cache, I must admit it was a good hide and I can see why you used a micro.

this date may be wrong but we have done it, cleaning out my garmin i discovered a few that i had not logged
Easy find, not before I decided to lie down in the wet grass before finding the true location

Mother's day why not take mum cacheing, in a round about way. Lunch first then a look around and a short stop to let the kids play. No room for swaps. Thanks Orange Angels

So many places to look.
I was thinking it may take days of searching this structure for a nano, but the cache gods must have been shining on me (ok so it was only the sun poking through the clouds) as I found it easier than expected.
Signed scroll then cursed as I tried to wind it up tight enough to fit back in the cache.
Thanks Orange Angels.
