Yes, the place was a Rocky Horror and I couldn't find the cache. Second DNF of the day.
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.

A quick and easy find....thank goodness.

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
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.

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.

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.
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

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.
After sone rocky experience from other caches I came back to this one and got rewarded.
Woo hoo came back today after some help from co and found as soon as we knew what we were looking for. Happy to see you smiley
Well Rocky Horror (Show)!!! This took a good" look"to locate, but ended well!! Thanks gummybear7..[coors seemed to be a little out, but time works![:p]
Nice hide. Pleasant spot. Stopped for a rest with the kids after walking the break wall.
Took a little search but found without too much trouble. I knew what i was looking for so that helped. Great location. TFTC!!! #1361
Found with Key_Tat and Viper_101... bit of a search... cache in hand eventually. TFTC
Found with gabstarb.. log is full... dogs enjoyed the hunt lol unreal rocky horror near spikey
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

Beautiful day for caching! Great hide, easy to find when you're in the right area. TFTC
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!!
TFTC!!
Had a good look then another and spotted the tricky hide, thanks for the cache. Very Happy to find it
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
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.

After heading to the earthcache nearby we explored this area including they great views from the top. TFTC.
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

This took a little while to locate, was looking for something completely different. Thanks brad1987 for the effective hide and TFTC
Secind visit to this one, took us about 20mins to find!!! Very good just hole, only looked there because i thought some items looked out of place
We guessed what we were looking for but it still took a while to spot it.

Took us a good 10 mins but found it. Exactly where a cache should be. Lol. TFTC
No horror. Travelling with bikesu . Stopping at places where we hadn't been yet. Beautiful areas. Tftc
Took forever to find it!! Pretty tricky and nearly gave up, great hiding spot! Looks very similar to its surroundings would never know it was there without trying to look for it
Started late this afternoon and ran out of light. Maybe next time I'm on Coffs I'll have more time
Didn't find this on our first visit as it was too hot in the sun. Thought we would try again today with it not being as hot. Looked somewhere different to last time and soon had cache in hand. Talk about Rocky Horror .

TFTC, easy find, picked this one up walking back down the hill from another cache up top. LOG IS FULL.
After walking to the top, I stopped off on the way back down to do this cache. Oh boy do I hate these but found it in the end. TFTC brad1987
Didn't enjoy this one too much, knew what it was when I saw it but too hard and too easy at the same time :/ log book completely full by the way.
Found on a wet and windy afternoon. We guessed what we were looking for but there were a lot of options! Mrs. Herbz was ready to go back to the car when Mr. Herbz said, " What's this?" And pulled out the cache. TFTC.
I quit find by the eagle I'd Ro. Clever concealment tftc and greetings from New Zealand. Log is full written on paper
Found while on holiday in Coffs Harbour, I seem to have an eye for these type of caches tftc
