Hi Nudge74,

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.

Area is a bit of a mess after all the rain and flooding that has been about. DNF

Flooding

Floods!

We tried again but no luck. Cute bridge but pretty yucky water

Well after a short search we already had blood leaking so maybe will have to give it another go later. Thanks anyhow.

Oh that was nasty, muggles, mud and blood and log a sodden unsignable mess

Found with Bek76 and Gum62 TFTC

Found it with bek76 and MDT79

Found with Gum62 and MDT79 TFTC but far sooty for sign

Submerged water affected after heavy rain

Found it with a very large huntsman spider guarding the cache. Log sheet too wet to sign. TFTC

Easy to see but hard to get to, good hide.

Hi not able to write as it to wet claimed as a find but needs maintenance Cheers

What a surprise to find a cache named after our family farm!
Found...was wet. Didn’t sign.
Container different to some previous pics.

Highly suspect water has taken this one aeay.

Took a diversion from the Highway and enjoyed the views.

Cheers

Yesterday I departed Brisbane on my way south to spend Christmas with some relatives in Vincentia, NSW. I had allowed myself a few days of relaxed travel, which gave me plenty of time to do some caching along the way. Having camped in my car in Coffs Harbour overnight, I was up at daybreak to continue the journey south, pausing for a stop at this cache.

A few cars drove past as I scrabbled around GZ hunting for the cache. Hopefully they did not see me and wonder what I was up to! The cache was soon located safe and well and stamped my name in the logbook. TFTC

Found this one on our way back from a christmas party.

Thanks for the cache

hatzofff and I are in Kempsey for a few days caching with Snickersallan. We stopped by to check out your cache .

Hatzofff found a leach on a very waterlogged sheet, so we put in a new log sheet in a plastic bag.

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 4:56 pm on 17 March 2019. TFTC, Nudge74.

On our way to Sydney and doing the Kempsey area Day 3.  Caching with RoddyC and Snickersallan.

TFTC.

Day 3 of my visit to this lovely district with RoddyC and hatzofff. Nice quick find here for us today.

Quick find and sign after tipping the water out of the container.
Might need a maintenance check.

A quick find here by the billy goats bridge
No trolls encountered and so off I scampered with a 'smilie' in the caching bank

TFTC.

Cool little bridge, was expecting to see a troll pop out! Good one for the kids to get to..

**# 21192** Found on our 2018 mega adventure to ACT, NSW, QLD and beyond.
Another perfect Autumn day for a trek around the Point for a few more caches.
Not many muggles around today and a few more good safe hides.
Log sheet is very wet. I placed a small temporary new log sheet in until the CO can fix it.
Thanks for the cache Nudge74,

Found on an early morning cache run before breaking camp at nearby grassy head. Log was soaked and imaginable. TFTC

Finally found it. Wet bit log. Water tide and stink smell water.

Happily we were able to find this cache. Nice hide and a good location. Thanks to Nudge74 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. Fav point alloc.

We came two evenings ago and it was getting too dark to see. We are from Canada and our sense of direction is a bit turned around! We came by today at mid afternoon and seeing a dead red belly black on the roadway caused us some angst as we sought the troll's cache...SL TFTC - no live snakes were seen in this hunt and container was replaced as found!!!

Found it easily but log is falling apart

I had noticed these little bridges while travelling along this road before and thought how quaint they were. Tftc

Day 4 in SWR and a chance today to explore the surrounding region a bit.

This was a quick find but I may as well hung a sign up asking mozzies to bite me on my bum TNLN TFTC

TFTC Tipped out water in cache and tried to sign as best as possible as log wet.

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Couldn't sign log as the container was full of water.

Found

Got it thanks

Quick find soggy log..

Found with Awegs and Ken, tftc

Needs maintenance please. It was quite literally swimming. Container full of water so we emptied and put in a dry log book to sign. Cute bridge.

Found it under the feet of a passer byer

Found with robbieracer66 on valentines day

Tftc found with earthly 65 cool place for a cache

Cant Find But I think It Gone.

TFTC, quick find, nice little bridge.

My family used to come to Grassy Head for holidays more than 30 years ago. It's good to see the place hasn't changed much.

Was a good hide, the container and log needs attention a bit wet, good walking track tftc

We missed this cache too on our previous visit, but again with local knowledge found a parking place close by.
While we were looking for a cache in the usual places our brother spotted a container floating in the creek between some sticks. We managed to successfully retrieve it but it was completely full of water and the contents of course completely saturated. There was no drying or out on a day like today so we got rid of as much water as we could, signed our names on a new sheet of paper, and returned the cache to where it possibly should have been.

Nice area. Log too wet to sign but we left our mark as best we could. TFTC

What a great little bridge and location. Log was wet, so put in a spare bit of paper. Found with 'Got it Good' TNLN SL TFTC

Lovely little spot.... found with Mystery Sleuth TFTC

We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun. The log is very wet. Thanks for placing the cache.

Spiky trolls. TFTC.

Found it

Found It but could use a bit of maintenance, such as the paper is stuck together

What a cute little place! The cache wasn't covered by anything so I was able to spot it at a distance. Signed the log and replaced the cache. While trying to cover it up a little better, a lizard ran over my hand. Nearly had to change my undies after that! Thanks for the cache

Found a stick helped. Took Nothing Left nothing. Slgned Log

Quick find while holidaying on the mid north coast.TFTC

TFTF

Found it, although the cache was full of water, might need to be replaced

Happy Hunting

The note pad was too damp to write on

Easy location once you get down low. Notepad was too wet to write on. Left geocoin

Bit wet

Nice cache thank god that we had a little Geokid to get the treasure.

Good find

Disappointed not to find our third cache. Has it been washed away?

Definitely still there well hidden. The watertight bag is not so watertight anymore so the log has been ruined. Found with punter775

Found with Shrazers cache is waterlogged

Didn't come dressed to find this one today :/ Will be back

Had a good look but no luck. Had move on due to being eaten alive by mozzies.

I looked and looked, got quite dirty, stung by a thorn and bitten by mossies!! No luck today, will try again next holidays

TFTC!

Headed over with GeelongCats and LookSkycacher to look for the cache before supper. Made our way to this one and located the likely host. Checked over the potential spots and one seemed to be most likely. Took a bit of maneuvering to get into position but the cache was finally retrieved! Cache and contents in good condition! SL TFTC!

When I went log the find for this cache I did become a little confused (at first), as I had placed a note on my GPSr saying that I had found it at 2000, 11/4/2014; but then I noticed that the cache code was GC52777, which was for a cache that I did find then! Doh!
I think it would have been a lot drier then tho, as it is rather muddy and boggy at the moment. Which was also shown by having to tip out as much water as the container could hold !!! As a result the log was wet, but with a gel pen I was able to scratch my name/date on it before being eaten by mosquitoes.
Unable to leave a CSM, tho the cache did seem to be a distance from GZ, but the name gave it away.
Found and retrieved @ 1800, GAFF1

Found with brad1987

Decided to take the day and head down to Scotts head and Stuarts Point for they day to clear up a few new smileys on the map. Thanks for the cache. Found with Batdos

Found look around i found it[Time to Find: 20 min]

great spot perfect

Gotcha !!! TFTC

We have spent a full day of caching itravelling from Coffs Harbour to South West Rocks.
We found such a variety of caches hidden by numerous cachers. Some great locations & scenic lookouts. We have loved doing this area.
Not good parking herefor a caravan. I found it easier to get to the cache from the other side of the bridge, the crek was dry so could get down & under easier.
Thanks for placing this cache Nudge74

This poor old cache needs some attention. I waited until the guy across the road finished putting the bins out then I went below.

The log and container are full of water.

Dried things out the best I could but it is really in a bad way.

Thanks

Good one,
Cheers.

Behaved like a troll. Never north. Tftc

Easy find. TFTC!!! #314

Found quite easily, lucky I'm vertically challenged which made it a bit easier . Cute little bridge, TN, left small button, thanks Nudge

Perhaps a tad more difficult for us older folk. It really dies nean get diwn abd dirty. Dont try this if you're knees are bad. Gib part of the team got this one. Lots of laughs from Bib tftc

Found while headed home from Toormina for work. Walked past it before my GPS settled and turned out OK. Potential for lots of mud here. Thanks Nudge74.
Cheers from Browngang

Found at 3:44 PM GAFF5 in the company of Browngang. Our last cache for the day on a quick run to Sawtell and back to Port Macquarie which took 5 hours and about 250 kms travelling [xx(]
We saw the bridge as we approached and then it was a matter of finding out which end. My GPSr sent me way over to the furthest end and while I was returning to the other end, Chris was already grabbing the cache. Would hate to do this one when it starts to rain and the whole area becomes muddy [xx(]
Thanks Nudge74.

Another cache find for the day and we are only one away from our 50th find!!!!
Cute little spot and the Geokids really got into the theme of the troll bridge.
TFTC, Took badge, left dog clip, SL
