We never read the description/activity

Cache has only had DNF for 2 years with no maintenance from CO

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Had a look, nothing.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Looked for a while but was unable to locate

No luck

No joy. Gave myself 20mins. Gave up after encountering a few cobwebs and plenty of rubbish. The line of trees and undergrowth is thinnest in the centre (where the geo pin sits if satellite image enabled). If this hasn’t been muggled, it might need unburying or better clues. Otherwise not family friendly!

No luck today

DNF this time. Will try again.

This one could be easily missed but I got lucky today and spotted it quickly however not so lucky near the playground where I clearly thought I could walk on water

Up here doing parental minding duties while dad is in hospital and my almost blind mother needs assistance, so after leaving mum at the hospital where a friend could pick her up I thought I would try for a cache or two on the way back to their place at Woolgoolga before I tried to do some work to justify not taking leave.

On a hot afternoon I spent about 10 minutes poking around the trees to no avail, and eventually had to give up on this. Plenty of empty bottles (including controlled drug ones) to confuse the issue as well but just couldn't see it today. Oh well, if someone finds it before I have to head south in the New Year I will try again. Thanks MINEOPS.

Was a great hiding place signed and placed back thanks guys was good for the entire family

Took a bit of looking, but we found it! Great hiding spot. Beautiful park. TFTC

The rabbit is alive and well. Alice here we come! Thanks for the great hide.

We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun but no luck today. Sigh. Thanks for placing the cache.

Our first find for the day - we had looked for this one previously and not found but this morning we saw a rabbit - true story - and followed it and he was right on target TFTC

Found when on my way to Surfers. TFTC

Good one

Right near my house so have many opportunities to find. Only been in the game for a week so ill keep hunting.

UPDATE: Another half hour search (and rubbish remove) but still no luck. Might have to get some more experience and train my eyes.

TFTC, tricky find as GPS would'nt settle.

Found.

TFTC

Nice spot

Fun one

I added a pencil in the cache as well

TFTC, shame someone has locked the flying fox

Good spot. Cache was found wet. replaced the log. TFTC

Tftc

Needs TLC. But found it

The log is soggy. The container doesn't seem to be fully water tight

Log book is absolutely saturated and almost falling apart.

Found pretty quickly, it was fairly exposed and the log book as absolutely saturated so was unable to sign. Replaced and covered it up a bit, suggest CO come and do some maintenance

log is wet i took the bic lighter out did not think it was appropriate to leave it in there not sure who put it in there but cache itself still looks fine ill claim this tomorrow or the next day

Log was to damp to tag but loke i said i did take out the bic

Found at 9:40am
Beautiful day watching parachuters from the flying fox. Fun find even for a local.

[Blue]# 12763[/Blue] Found on our 2015 Winter escape trip to Qld.
Another great sunny winter day for a drive around in Coffs.
The log is all wet, so I added some dry sheets in the cache.
Cheers from down south in Wagga Wagga.
Thanks for the cache MINEOPS,

Too many civvies

But thank you to mineops

Found. Logs very wet though

A pretty little parkland in the rain
Muggle free too [^]
So the cache was a good olde search and find

TFTC ... logbook still damp !!

Log super wet but still signed. May need replacing soon

Found by Mary & David, at 1117. Surprised that, being school holidays, the place wasn't filled with children. All the better for us though. Found after a short search. Our thanks to MINEOPS.

Log still wet.

Found just before lunch, I had a look here and there then spotted the suspect item. Log a little damp but not yet destroyed. Have a great easter. TFTC.

Found! Good job, log book was wet though :/

Found this one after searching a bit away from where the coords said. TFTC.

Love the flying fox.

Found it, great area but cache didn't have any camo

TFTC

Here i was lucky. The first view showed the cache, but it can take longer.
Thanks for the cache

May have been muggled. Few empty bottles around gz

Think it may have been moved.

Found it. Lots of spider webs.

tftc

Easy find

This one took a while but eventually was in hand tftc

Well pants covered in stick beaks but we found it at last

Stopped in with Batdos, but couldn't locate container

Nice & easy while the daughter had a break on the swings. TFTC

Found on my early morning walk, this one being the closest to my motel. Nice one, thanks MINEOPS.

Such lovely flowers on these trees, great little area we wouldn't have known it was here. Easy find TFTC

Co-ords out but no camo covering a rather obvious container made for an easy find once entering the shrubbery via a geotrail.

Found at 10 pm with my brother showing him what its all about.

He seems keen

SL TFTC

P.S: picked up a tick whilst doing cache !!

Snuck in early this morning for a quick find.Left a TB. TFTC.

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.
We picked up the TB from this cache
Thanks for placing this cache MINEOPS

My first cache and it was the most lovely place! Took my puppy Raiden :3

Found it

Flying fox is awesome!

This one was off by 5 metres so took a bit longer than it should but great cache in a park i didn't know existed.

424#

Found it! Kids loved the flying fox coming back here for sure!

Tftc tnln

In a big bush of trees

Thanks for all the nice comments and hope it does not get muggled any time soon

TFTF
Nice park to bring Geotoddler to for a play.

Lovely park. Love the flying fox... Can't remember the last time I saw one with no queue.

TFTC!

Quick find while having a break on our tour to Surfers. TFTC

Nice find buy are new addition to the group

Found this on the last day of our Coffs Coast Holiday. Nice setting for our last cache of the day. Geokids had a play on the flying fox before heading off. TFTC Cheers

Came up from Port Macquarie for work so thought we'd grab a few caches while in the area.
Thanks for the cache and cheers from Browngang

Found at 2:08 PM GAFF3 in the company of Browngang at a distance of 7 metres. After successfully scoring 2 FTF's in Dorrigo and Glenfern, we headed to Coffs to do a few before having to return home. The GPSr took us to the drainage grate where there was a nice hole in the ground that could have held a cache, but nothing there. So we widened our search and dove into the bushes and found the cache just lying like a piece of rubbish - totally exposed.
Replaced it a little more securely against the trunk of a tree/bush.
Thanks MINEOPS.

Towards the end of a long day of caching whilst driving from Canberra to Brisbane (day 2 of trip). Retreived this one just after the sun had set. TFTC.

Heading North for a couple of months (Winter Migration)... Called through this way to grab a couple of caches along the way... Decided to grab this whilst looking for accommodation for the night...

Found this well hidden cache, signed log & replaced...

Thanks for the cache and for bringing me here... Dipped TB's...
