Nothing to find here

Luke the cacher before, I didn't find it

No luck today. Agree with others that it's likely missing:(

Had the coordinates and was a GZ but we could not find. This cache might need to be reviewed by owner.

No luck for me at the coords picked up at Coffs Creek 1. It hasn't been found for over a year

No sign of this. Maybe I am blind

Gained the coords from my find yesterday, and with a bit more time up my sleeve and geo hubby in tow we set off to make this sneaky find. So glad to have a break in the weather.TFTC

With the coords from coffs creek 1 locked in, we swiftly walked down the track and had no trouble finding the cache once at GZ, all in good condition.
Thanks for the cache

Found with Mrs BillHill, Staying at Coff's Harbour for the week doing some touristy things and some caches if time allows. This had me going in circles, until I finally homed in. Nice dry log for this cache.
Signed log and Cache replaced as found.
**Thanks For The Cache** earthly65.

This is the 11th cache of 12 for today making a grand total of 3356 at 4:12PM on this Wednesday the 10th of November in the Year 2021

We had found the coordinates and kept walking down the path. Once again we were amazed at how much effort gets put into building boardwalks that most people will never find out about because they spend their time organising sock draws or plucking pubic hairs.

Surely the best job in life would be the person on the nail gun building board walks. You don’t have to walk through the mud and can just pull the important trigger when needed. tftc

I continued along the path for a quick find of the new container. And accomplished my mission of an Unknown Cache type in Coffs Harbour Council.

TFTC.

New cache in place...please re camo to keep cache safe...happy caching!

Needs a new container. Found a ziplok bag only with the log.

**Total find count: 1009**

After what has felt like an eternity, we are finally taking our first geocaching road trip since Clear Waters with Crzymelly, TeamPQS and HubbyandMrs.

A local day in an around Coffs to avenge a DNF, some beach atime for the kids, and to find cache 1000 for me.

yes

Thank you. Log with too wet to write on so left a sheet of paper and and put all on new zip lock bag

Very wet ! Very hard to find

Visited Coffs Harbour and took a little walk after some time on the beach.
Found the cache without problems after finding the coordinates in Coffs Creek 1.

Thanks for the cache!

Leaving Sweden in the beginning of January, passning Singapore on the way to Australia. Then visiting NZ before flying back home via Dubai. A trip of almost three months. Fantastic scenery and nice people along the way.

Today was a day of doing some caching around the Coffs Harbour accompanied by ilook4geo. It was a successful day with no DNFs to mar the chosen list. Each cache had its log signed with both lots of initials, then each container was replaced where it had been found. Thanks go to earthly65 for this cache placement, but it really needs a dry log and some sort of container that keeps the ants out. They seem to call it home.

Doing some caching this morning around Coffs with goingplaces2. It was a fun day and we were happy to add some more smileys to the map. This was another one we were able to tick off our list. TFTC.

Quick find once at GZ. A little further and unexpected direction from #1 but no problem and in fact a very pleasant walk along the bush track and beside the mangroves. TFTC

Did Coffs Creek 1 on Sunday and obtained the necessary information. Didn't have time to attempt this one until today. But all was good until I tried to sign the saturated log. So took a photo of it instead to verify my find. CO might need to do some maintenance on this one.

Found on 27/4/19
With theprodigalgoat

My first mystery cache
TFTC

Found 27/4/19 with JessYoung96. Found from coords of Coffs Creek 1. Easy to see from track. TFTC.

I had acquired the needed numbers at the previous stop and zoomed down the quiet trail to this one. A very short hunt to find the right spot.

Beauty. Happy to see a smiley

Nice easy find TFTC

a quick find after revisiting the first one. thanks

Loved the bush exercise. Birds and flowers. Tftc

Thanks to my caching fam. Good to see places not normally en route. TFTC

Quick find. Nice spot. TFTC!!! #1361

Found with Tatt2squared and Viper_101....TFTC.

Found with Tatt2squared and Key_Tat....TFTC

Found with Key_Tat and Viper_101... what a walk... a few muggles out enjoying the trail today.. Thanks for bringing us out here. TFTC

Watch out for muggles!

Just landed in Coffs Harbour for a couple of days on our training trek. Staying in the caravan park. Well worth going through the shop and miniature village. Needed to get up those steps this morning so of for a walk. Absolutely delighted with the walking path here. Picked up co ords from number one and moved onto this easy find. Thanks for bring me and the cache

Today we got out on the bikes and rode the Coffs Creek trail from the caravan park down to the beach. The highlight for Mrs SKI was the coffee and cake at Gibbos van just after you cross the road heading down to the surf club. Good coffee and an outstanding vanilla slice combined with chatty good service! A good old fashioned baker!
We both enjoyed the ride along the creek through the bushland. Who would know you are in the middle of a city!
We successfully found Coffs Creek 1 on our ride out and stored the coordinates away for the ride back. Didn't think to check how close or which way it was!
A quick stop on the ride back and Mrs SKI quickly found the cache while I looked elsewhere.
TFT

We enjoyed our night walking around the wetlands gathering a few caches as well as this final. Lucky we had the place to ourselves as we searched for the cache. Thanks earthly65 for bringing us here to enjoy the ambience of the area.

Got The new Co-ords and off we go, Nice day for a walk and a cache TFTC SL

Two cyclists later and one year or so after finding original Coffs creek I have secured number 2. Tftc

GPs confused but Baktrak triumphed as usual.
Nice walk through the bush, and just the right height to find.
TFTC

We found #1 passing through Coffs northbound last week and noted the coords for future use. Southbound today, we stopped for coffee but most of the cafes were closing so we went for #2 instead. A We parked nearby and walked maybe 100m to make the find. Bag is torn but contents are fine and dry. Thanks again earthly65.

TFTC, quick find, nice walk.

Was fun finding 1 to lead us to this 1. Have now decided mystery 1s are fun tftc

Got the co ordinates from Coffs Creek 1 and then off to do our first Mystery Cache. When we were heading off I thought we were going in the direction, but went with it and before we knew it we were there with cache in hand.

Thanks for a great mystery.

Parked at the end of Lawson street where I knew there was an entry to the track and set off for a brisk four in the morning walk in the pitch dark,with a good torch of course,soon had the cache,these are actually the sort of thing I love with a good walk.TFTC.earthly65.

With new co-ords in hand,we were on the way to get this cache, but not in the direction
I expected to go. But we soon had the cache in hand and log signed.
Thanks earthly65

Had this coordinates for a while. Today finally it is a Smiley.

Thanks earthly65

Beautiful walk through a lovely path and boardwalk trail with OzHockeyChick for this nice little mystery series. Thanks for bringing us here and tftc

Third and last day of caching in Coffs for 88andy88 and I. Nice morning walk picking up a few caches in this lovely spot. Cheers!

Easy with the coords tftc

Found both of these two, nice boardwalk along here easy find TFTC

Gotcha !!!Enjoyed the walk so a favourite from me. Retrieved TB and visited other TBs and GCs. Old Temingi got a bit confused when looking for Coffs Creek 1.... He had the wrong cache on his GPS. TFTC

Last one of my stay in Coffs. A nice hiding spot here, so I left a recently released TB from Melbourne in the cache so it can continue its journey with someone else. Thanks again earthly for your many caches!

Found this on the last day of our Coffs Coast Holiday. This was a fist for us, having to type coords into our new GPS and then navigate to it. Lucky it seems to have worked. TFTC Cheers

Easy find once I'd got the coords from Coffs Creek 1. TFTC! )

Thankyou earthly65

Would be a nice little walk if it wasnt for the rain. TFTC.

Looked and looked and couldn't find this one not sure if I was even in the right spot will have to try it out again!

Very easy with hints with brad1987

Found after going to coffs creek 1 again because we forgot to get coords. TFTC. Found with gummybear7

Because it was getting towards the end of the day, we debated whether to go for this after Coffs Creek 1 but went for it anyway. Glad we did. TFTC

A very simple one, especially with the hint.

If you keep following the track it will bring you to the 'Coffs Cycleway 2' geocache.

(I don't want to give away the coordinates puzzle, but the 'Coffs Cycleway 3' geocache is somewhere in this vicinity too.)

We were having a leisurely trip down to Sydney to attend our church conference and visiting some relatives over a few days so we had some extra time to grab caches along the way.

With the final coords in hand this was easy to get to, there were some kids playing nearby but they were too interested in their game to worry about what I was doing.

I spotted GZ on approach and had the cache in hand quickly.

Thanks Earthly 65. Thanks for bringing me to this secluded spot. TFTC SL TNLN

Found with jmc! TFTC

Found while in coffs for the day.

After avoiding one cyclist I was nearly collected by another from behind. Luckily I was looking for a cache and saw them from the corner of my eye.

We located this one with some help from a local, cacher directed us and parked nearby, then a nice stroll and had cache in hand and paperwork done TFTC

Found while caching around Coffs for the day. TFTC

Found after a bit of a bush bash. (Found with 'Doogle06') TFTC.

Didn't like haven't to retrace my steps (on a day I would be walking lots) as I was walking in the direction of Coffs Creek 1 to 2. But found it super easy. TFTC

Yahoo - Our very first Puzzle. Good lesson for geo hubby in setting coordinates in GPS !@#!@#. TFTC TN added some kiddie things

We had the coordinates from cache one, but had not downloaded this cache. I think we were not looking high enough.

On our way to Sufers so have stopped to rest & Cache.
Collected the required co-ords from the previous then it was just a short distance away to find this one.
Thanks for placing the cache earthly65

After getting the coords from #1, I almost went the wrong way, so turned around and went the other way. A little walk, as I past some runners, and bikes on the track. Got to GZ and made the find in a usual spot. SL, TNLN and replaced. TFTC.

Naturally we found number 1 first. This was a lovely spot. TFTC

Made a swap and signed log

I ended up here on me pushbike ride around Coffs today
A quick read of the cache notes and .... "Oh you rotters !!"

So a bike ride back to find the Coffs Creek 1 cache was in order ..... again !!

Back at a familiar place I found a familiar cache
Numbers noticed this time

And a short bike ride later and I was at GZ sitting next to a very likely place to hide a cache [^]

A quick find. Can't believe we had the track pretty much to ourselves on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. Where are all the muggles? Thanks.

After riding around the trails we returned with the co-ordinates to find #2. This was so conveniently close it was almost a saddle-grab. TFTC earthly65.

In the area on a short holiday with my family. Decided to do some night caching. Easy find. TFTC.

After camping too close to the highway last night and having a bit of a restless night we got off to a bit of a slow start and still travelling with The Drovers making our way towards Stanthorpe picking up us many caches that we can get whilst we are towing.
We came here from Coffs Creek1 and again enjoyed a very pleasant walk through a very nice looking paper bark stand. We followed the GPSr needle to gz and the cache was found in the first place we looked. It doesn't get much better than that.
Many thanks, we don't find many mysteries so we are really happy when we do get them.

Travelling north with Team Crackers, we enjoyed the drive and and the great views.
There was a variety of cache hides along the way, and all well hidden.
TFTC, earthly65.

Find # 1912 @ 146 Hrs...

Found whilst staying with friends in Coffs Harbour...

Owing to the time, there were very few muggles... Enjoyed the walk in the company of Ian from ith47 & made the easy find... Managed a picture or two too...

Thanks to earthly65 for the cache & for bringing me here...

Took: Nothing Left: Nothing Signed Log

Easy walk from #1 in company with Snaphappy. TFTC

Love this walk. TFTC

Walking along here from Coffs Creek 1 we really enjoyed our stroll. Thanks for bringing us here earthly65 and showing us this lovely walk. Found the cache safe in its home. All's good.

Very interest previous logs as easy to find with cache very well also dry inside of cache... TFTC

Didn't realise there was TB from a cacher I vicariously know in here, but was willing to grab N-JOYO while driving MAP's and MVMtBiker around to grab a few caches.

1550 Quite a bit out of 'our way home', but knowing Cookie wanted to go up as far as Grafton before heading back to Taree we easily twisted his arm to drop by where he had already been and grab another Puzzle cache to add to our numbers. Easiest we think so far. A lovely walk. Not sure about the signs that say no cyclists on the boardwalk part of the Coffs Walk, it doesn't seem to deter the cyclists.
No muggles at just the right time for quick retrieval and replacement.
TNLN Let Cookie grab the TB
TFTC Earthly 65

Wow!! I am completely bewildered as to why Browngang have taken such a negative set against this cache...truly could they not just enjoy the cache as many others have??? This cache clearly went through the reviewing process, such an unnecessary and frankly offensive attack..my apologies for any issues which may now arise with this cache due to this interference.

Just pointing out the proximity issue that no-one has been bothered with, and that you may not have been aware of. It is a great spot and I hope that it survives all this rain. No offences intended.

Or archiving, but there are plenty of places to hide a cache around here, just not so close as per the guidlines
