This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.


Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Cache now appears to be on private property behind a barb wire fence, as per numerous logs over last two years. CO needs to check and update cache location

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

There was a water pump close by, we believe the owner of the water pump has taken the cache so we have replace this cache with a mint tin, hopefully in the right forked tree after so may DNF's

I like it

Another one of the list

Not sure where the cache is maybe needs to rethink trail be at it is a beautiful area for caches

Hit wrong button did not find.

No luck today

Not for us today.

Wasnt keen on the possible surroundings at this time of the day, maybe next time ill have a proper look.

Not successful in our search for this one. Thanks brad1987

Quick find but needs replacing as is water logged

The fence presented little difficulty getting over
But GZ and the most likely hiding spot are still on the road reservation.
And 10 minutes of poking and scratching later ...
... I couldn't find a cache

Must be buried deep !!!

Appears GZ is over the fence so quick ly over we go sign and back again TFTC

Found where it should be but the area has indeed been fenced Feoff so not sure about getting to it and how upset somebody may be if the see somebody going to the cache. tnln sl tftc

Today we are back out on the trail of more caches in the Coffs area this time more inland.
After a magnificent winters day yesterday we are experiencing no less today.
A little bit of a hunt before we were able to sign this one.

We're on our way home from the Alice Springs Mega event. Cached all through Victoria, S.Aus, Uluru, Barkly Hway, Qld & now back in our home state NSW ... finding some great camps along the way. Log stamped Coongoola, small logs signed CG.

Thanks for placing this cache brad1987. SL

I made a little bike tour today round the Island Loop Road, and made a few caches on my way! Thanks for hiding

TFTC and the series, quick park and grab.

TFTF added a swap as none were in

What beautiful scenery around this loop, thanks for bringing us here. The bridge has been replaced recently and they have also put a barbed wire fence up which now has to be negotiated to reach the cache.

Kids were getting a bit fussy so didn't get to have a good look. We'll be back to find it though. Thanks.

Found it

Today I decided to do this little circle. I enjoyed the nature and the views a lot.
I was already under the bridge before I was reeding the log.

Thanks brad

Find No: 4895. Visiting from Newcastle, staying at Big4 Caravan park in Bathurst, enjoying the variety of hides in the district, heading home tomorrow (-1 expected tonight), thanks for the cache brad1987!!

Had a spare hour so though i would attempt this loop. Luckily we manged to do them all. Great except at least half had damp or wet logs. This log was damp. A fairly new looking barb-wire fence had been erected near the cache. Not sure if it was there before but it makes me think the cache is on private property. Thanks for the loop brad1987.

Nice one

#12 for today. Beautiful drive through this area. Much enjoyed finding this series. Thankyou for the challenges and for placing these caches.

Visiting friends near Magic Ponds so decided to do this loop one way or another. First attempt was on foot with a couple of geohounds in tow, but it was a hot day and after a while they outvoted me, so yesterday i our way into Coff's we collected it by car.

Note for CO: it is very wet and almost impossible to write in the log book, and that was before Friday Creek was over the nearby bridge last night
Seizer

And this - we DID find it or how would we know the logbook was wet ?

Must be more careful in future!

Easy

Collingwood cows and lots of poddy calfs .OH nice porterhouse steaks on legs easy find TFTC

Gotcha !!! Found with Pprass. TFTC

Found at 2:18 PM in the company of Temingi GAFF3. While we were searching, the farmer from up the road came past with his tractor. I shouted out to him that the bridge wasn't strong enough, so he parked the tractor on the other side, came back and told us all about what has happened to the bridge over the past few months. He was a colourful character - let's just say that!
Thanks brad1987.

Found the cache just where we expected, in the midst of the sweet smelling clover flowers. TFTC brad1987.

Found with no problems with goingplaces2

Today we travelled towards Nana Glen, picked up some caches along the country roads.
This was a very pleasant drive doing the Friday Creek Loop. Clear & accurate hints help find most of the series.
Thanks for placing this cache brad1987
