has been a construction zone for some time...dont know how long before access will resume so will archive.
Quick find after a visit to the gallery. Picked up a traveller. Highly recommend sparing a few dollars to visit the gallery. The whole family/caching crew enjoyed our time here! TFTC
After going in and checking out the cartoons I started looking for the cache. Last time I was here after opening hours and someone thought I looked very dodgy so just waited and stared till I left. I didn't even get out of the car on that occasion so I'm glad it was an easier exercise today. Tftc
Well the saying goes third time lucky hmmm well we missed that boat as we must admit this is at least our fifth visit. Although we are happy to see the cache was actually MIA.
So today we were pretty stoked to turn that frown upside down and add our team name to the logbook.
Thanks earthly65 for the placement.

Log is still definitely there and in tact, there have been a lot of trees cut down recently.

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.

We have searched for this one 3 times now and still haven't come up with the goods . Could the CO check on this one please before we go crazy.
In the area and after visiting dad in hospital for Christmas lunch I left mum there for a while and headed out to hopefully find a few. Figured with the holiday this place would be quiet and it was, but after about 15 minutes searching around I had to give up here with most available spots within a reasonable radius checked, Hopefully it is still there and just cache blindness today. Thanks earthly65.
How cool is this cache! Found on a geocaching day in Coffs Harbour area with nudge74 and minion666. TFTC

Found yesterday on an odd Sunday with little Geobrother and were quite happy with the camo, wasn't as small as we expected tftc - favourite point from us (find Number 79)
We came to look for this yesterday. It must have been bridge day because there was a car park of muggles arriving and none in a hurry to leave their cars. After a casual look we decided to come back another time. Another time was today and the carpark was empty. Our original thought of what we were looking for was right but man, does this cache blend in well! A fab hide that could be right there and you still miss it.....errr yes, we are talking from experience. TFTC earthly65.
TFTC Took me a while to find this one and was about to give up when I though just one more look. I took a slow walk in the area and there he was, well camouflaged amongst his surroundings.
Today was a good day to go looking for this one as there were no muggles about while we were there.
We were frilled to find this one

interesting spot, i had no idea these bunkers even existed. It surprised us how simple the hide is yet still so effective. Thank you for placing this cache. we finished just in time as the bridge club started arriving and turned a deserted car park into something similar to the MCG at footy time.
Our 250th cache and what a great one! So fun for the kids - as long as there's no muggles near by! Lol our son was very happy to declare loudly he found it.
Such great camo - easy to miss though.
Fav point from us.
Can't believe it hasn't been logged since Oct.

Took me two attempts to find this one but don't know how I missed it last time. Logbook quite damp so dried it out and replaced. Like the camo. Thanks earthly65.
Nice hide. Wasn't covered. Now its like it should be. Thanks for this funny cache. FP

Great camo and a sneaky hide ... Keep an eye on the wildlife here OzHockeyChick and I had a bit of fun dodging the bridge club muggles for this find but had fun and enjoyed the cache hide.
It gave us a real "frill" when we found this cache with its cute camo. Giving it a fav point. TFTC.
Arrived here and the caching instincts immediately kicked in and pointed out the likely GZ area. The phone didn't agree though so I traipsed back and forward and went around the hill and back and forward a bit and back to the first area trying to get a good gps fix on it. Of course I ended up right back where the caching instincts had told me to go in the first place - when will I learn?!
Spent a bit of time searching and then bobbed down to search a little better. As I stood up again there he was looking back at me. Awesome camo job, a favourite point from me .

I was beginning to think the cache was missing but after about 20 min I realised he was looking at me. What a good little lizard,.
Stopped in with Batdos while we were cycling around town, getting him a few local caches. Cache in good condition, the cache guardian is doing a good job!
I was down in Coffs visiting my daughter (Coucho90) and her partner (Jared86) they had the day off so we formulated a plan and headed off to caches that we all had not found yet!!!
There were SO many cars around this area and not a body to be seen, but we were happy we were free to search!!
I walked straight past GZ thinking the hide was further in and Coucho90 came up with the find!!!!
We all LOVED it and it's a definite favourite point!!!!
Thanks Earthly65 TFTC SL
p.s. As we drove out the lights went on in our heads as we drove past the Bridge Club!!!! Ah Ha that's where they all are!!!!!

Arrow initially had me approaching this one from a higher elevation but wisely ignoring that, re-parked within a few metres of an easier grab. Nicely blended camo took a bit longer to spot than it should have.
We have spent a full day of caching in the Coffs Harbour area.
We spent a nice day travelling along the scenic roads, somel locations with magnificant views.
2nd time we looked for this one, today it was quickly spotted.
Thanks for placing this cache earthly65

A very clever hide. Took about 15 minutes or find. I initially mistook the container for another object and kept looking. On closer inspection the hint made sense.
Thanks
Thanks
Finally found this one it has been on my dnf list for a while with about 3 good searches we finally got it. Great camo. Thanks for the cache earthy
With an unexpected call at 1.00a.m. I had to work and drive a truck to Coffs Harbour,but this wasn't all bad,because when I finished it was daylight and I went straight to this cache which had been on my mind,you see,with amazing determination and stubornness it had to be found,and found it was!Very well hidden this little critter,even when I exposed it the colour blended in.Enjoyed it very much ,thanks for the challenge earthly65.
Wanted a couple of caches in Coffs before we left for Dorrigo on a mission,but this one eluded us ,earthly 65 are very clever and tricky hiders we are discovering,but I guarantee I'll be back.TFTC
