Hi brad1987,

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 45 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 45 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer.

12-Jan-20
After attending the event in Coffs the afternoon before we are spending the day caching both in and around the area as well as a bit further north. Found an interesting variety of caches and did have just a few DNFs. Thanks to all the COs for enhancing our visit to the area.
We persevered until DiamonJs gave out the call.

What a brand spot. A few little scratches. TFTC
 
22-Sep-19
Walking the breakwall with a muggle friend today and decided to try to change some frowny faces to some smiley ones while showing her how much fun caching is. With the first two being unsuccessful i was pleased to not only predict what sort of container this might be but spotted it first too. Whew , my reputation is intact. Thanks for the cache here
 
07-Sep-19
Wandered along the breakwall and up the hill and then down to this cache.

Coffs really is the land of micros not much room for trackables in this part of the world.

02-Sep-19
4 rocky caches attempted today and an epic failure on 3 of them but at least a find was made here.
It was the hide type we were expecting it just took a little while to find.
Beware of the asbestos in this area!!!
Thanks.
 
01-Sep-19
No luck for us here today
 
01-Sep-19
Looking, looking - no finding!
 
28-Aug-19
We're staying in Coffs for a few days enroute to Brisbane for a wedding this weekend and today, I headed down to check out the harbour foreshore area ... funnily enough, I've been to Coffs many times over the years but I've never explored the foreshore beyond the marina/breakwall precinct. Today, I made up for that, and spent a good few hours checking it all out ... and picking up a few smilies (amongst a host of DNFs) along the way as well. This was one of the more straightforward finds I made, and I give you much thanks for that brad and gummybear.
 
03-Aug-19
Finding myself back up at Woopi dealing with elderly parents in and out of hospital and needing to move into a retirement village, today finally brought a "day off" after a week and a half. So I decided to grab some caches to relax which I haven't had a chance to do much of this week.

This one didn't take too long after I spotted something suspicious and got into the right spot for retreival. Sometimes experience helps so don't worry those who read "easy find" and start cursing. Thanks brad1987 & gummybear7
 
18-Jul-19
Took a little while but we got there!

Found
 
12-May-19
We looked at the logs on the way in.... 'nice easy find' - cool, we said.... Nothing jinxes you more! And what a spiky place - the rocks are like razors, and there are at least two species of spiny/thorny bushes there too - I think all drew blood just to make it the perfect DNF experience.
 
14-Feb-19
A nice easy find. TFTC.

Logbook is full so added a new sheet
 
12-Feb-19
After sone rocky experience from other caches I came back to this one and got rewarded.

25-Apr-18
The start of a holiday up north and stayed nearby on the first night near Coffs Harbour. Had a bit of a look around the town and of course saw the famous Big Banana. Has it gotten smaller since I saw it last, or is it that I have gotten bigger? Hmmm. Not sure.
Read the hint, a horror indeed, but as a previous cacher has noted, a new log sheet is need here. Found with SmudgeyCat DG. Great song, btw. TFTH Wink

This cache was very hard to find. We were already about to surrender twice but then we finally found it. The cache really fits in in the environment. A very very good hiding place and the cache itself is very special and well done as well.
TFTC!!

Monday 28 August 2017 - a cool sunny, windy Winter's day walking for 10km over 4 hrs around Coff's numerous Jetties and over Muttonbird Island. Found 8 caches including an EarthCache, and 4 DNFs.

Very tricky find particularly with the camo looking very much like every other hard things around. A fair bit of glass was underfoot so make sure that you wear sturdy shoes. TFTF brad1987 & gummybear7.

We've come north to escape the miserable Victorian winter, and Coffs Harbour you have certainly not let us down. A week of beautiful sunshine and warmth and some caches thrown in for good measure.
We had a look for this one on the way out with no luck, even though we thought we knew what we were looking for. On the way back from Quarry's Edge we thought we might have another look, and this time approaching from a different angle we found the cache straight away.
Sometimes you can be lucky.

Just returned from my holiday and catching up on the logs from my fantastic trip. All I could thing of was Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors yelling "Feed Me". Made a few missteps but then used my brain to lead me right to the cache. Signed log. Thanks
 
31-May-17
Out and about on the foreshore making the most of the sun even if the wind is a bit chilly finding caches and enjoying the views.
We were certain we knew what we were looking for and sure enough the hide was quickly revealed. Thanks brad1987 for this time warp placement.
 
10-Apr-17
TFTC not many muggles today. Searched for a little while then logic took over.
 
08-Apr-17
After heading to the earthcache nearby we explored this area including they great views from the top. TFTC.
 
03-Feb-17
On our road trip from Canberra to Brisbane we stopped in Coffs Harbour for the night. We came along this road to have a look at the beautiful views as well as to collect some caches. Some we did not even attempt, as there were too many models around.
At GZ we had a pretty good idea of what we might be seeking, and soon had the cache in hand.
Thanks
