This cache has disappeared a few times now...we have decided to archive and consider a new position here for a cache

Didn't find it.

Logging a find after having a conversation with the CO. Thank you earthly65.

Sorry cachers, this cache is MIA...thanks to SteveKlippy for message giving us the heads up...disabling whilst we find a new home for a cache here

we were in the spot few days ago, DNF for us, but after contacting CO n confirmed that we were at the right GZ n CO allowed us to log as found it.

TFTC e65 & r66

A DNF for us as well. Can see where the cache should be, but nothing there.

DNF

Found the "empty" hidey hole - barbed wire - eye level
But no cache.

Thanks to e65 and r66

Not a quick find, at first I thought the ibis might have muggled it?.
But there it was tucked away, good hide.
Thanks earthly65

This is our 24th cache, easy find thanks. Klossymel

Found our first cache with klossymel, thanks love this geocache easy find hunterking

First caching stop of a new day was by this unremarkable roadside attraction !!
Not much happening early this morning, which was to be expected
So I hung around for a while ....
... a longer while than I would have liked

Where is this cache hidng ??

Oh !! There !!

TFTC

Took a few minutes but OzHockeyChick found this rather quickly and we were impressed by the sneaky hide and very well hidden . Tftc

Third and last day of caching in Coffs for 88andy88 and I. Nice morning walk picking up a few caches in this lovely spot. Very clever hide. Cheers!

After a very long drive, this cache was a welcoming quick find. Tftc

Called on the way past today and collected the cache. Sneaky hide, well done Earthly65... TFTC

Good sneaky find

Nice hide. Once I started looking high it became clear!!!

Two lots of Muggles and a bougainvillea stopped me today.

No idea

TFTCSL. Nice hide. Caching with Berken.

TFTCSL good hide!sneaky! Caching with minky4paw and bumped into Berken! Nice little stop here!!

Looked where we thought it could be and missed it. Searched some other places and then used cachers' instinct and spotted it second time around. TFTC.

Nice but easy tricky hide, thanks for great hide

Yeeew siq by kdawggg of da crew with a lil help of ldawg grooviness!! TFTC :')

Found[Time to Find: 8 min]

Found after short search with kggy. Tftc.

Found da kach wonsda. Tftc

Finally after several attempts we found it. Wasn't gunna let it get the better of me. Nice hide. I was looking down low. After reading other logs realised I have to look higher. Easy grab when I worked out the hidey hole. This one made me lose sleep thinking about it. tftc

This find reminds me of the name of the tune used in the VanDerVaulk tv show. TFTC.

#24 for the day. Nice quick park and grab. TFTC earthly65

Yeah

Die Suche nach dem Behälter hat lange gedauert. Man muss halt jede Seite betrachten.

Great place for a coffee and the pancakes are amazing
Thanks for the hide
Found with brad 1987

Stopped in with Batdos while we were cycling around town, getting him a few local caches.

Nice one. Thanks.

Went with my instinct and found. Nearly got eaten by a large lizard but worth it

Small and in the most obvious spot

Good fun find c: TFTC

Tricky little hide had me looking for 10 mins, clog guy doing gardening but once spotted I waited for him to leave before I grabbed it to sign in the car. TFTCSL

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Didn't allow time to visit the Clog Barn will have to come back. Nice sneaky hide. TFTC

Thought the cache should be there but didn't spot it till we were looking where we didn't think it was. After finding the cache we looked through the barn and mini village. Wonder what the demand for clogs is, think they could take getting used to. TFTC earthly65.

Waited for a muggle to move on before making a quick find. TFTC

Nice quiet end of the carpark though still pretty exposed to the highway. Watch out for the barbed wire at eye level around the nicely concealed hide. Took me a bit longer than it should have but not so long I couldn’t spare a few minutes to have a look inside the attraction (this was a caching only roadtrip, not a sightseeing one). Very cute.

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.
Found the cache, good co-ords. Did not take a visit to the clog barn
Thanks for placing this cache earthly65

Cute little tourist spot. Had to stop here after the Big Banana! Great hidey hole.

Looked looked and looked some more. Should have been the first place we looked TFTC

Found on my ride home from watching the Buskers at the Jetty markets. TFTC

Glad to see the tree gone... it had me confused last time

Lots of discussions about coords on this one!
Seem pretty good to me. 4m of accuracy. Can't complain about that.
Thanks for bringing me here

Found after coming back for a fresh start... should just go on my instincts, gets it nearly everytime...

Neat little hide followed by a scrumptious breakfast here, needed a big breakfast to see us ready for the big drive ahead, it is surprising just how many places we have stopped at along the way this trip simply because of geocaching. I would not have stopped for breakfast here were there not a cache here

Found after attending a training day in Coffs Harbour

Co-ords are a little off, but found quire easily.

TFTC

A good cache. Coords spot on now. TFTC

Found at 11:07 AM GAFF5. It is now getting a bit too tedious with so many co-ords being so far out - especially for "out of towers" that just want to experience the town and highlights and not have to set out on an expedition on so many caches that have the wrong co-ords, or micros in the bush where you have to spend ages looking.
This one was unfortunate as we had recently done "Room with a View" which was out and then this one comes along and again [B)] At least it gave time for Cat to go into the store to buy some postcards to send to our granddaughters
We appreciate the effort in all of the work that so many cachers in this region have done, but can we give you some advice - you do not have to make caches impossible to find - just hard for muggles to find! Also we really appreciate the diversity of hides, but with the more difficult ones a hint - even a cryptic hint would be welcomed.
Thanks earthly65.

Updating co-ordinates

After previous log Robbieracer66 and I went to check on our co-ords....it is very important to us that our co-ords are accurate...we use waypoint averaging three times, then average that result, usually resulting in accurate co-ords but for some reason this seems not to have happened here...it did take a long time to gain co-ords here, just under five minutes for each averaging!!...anyhoo...we used waypoint averaging again today...8 times!...and have gained what we hope are accurate co-ords.

Trying to disguise as a tree

Second visit here. Found quickly after talking to groovydoo recently as coords are about 20m off. Thanks for the new cache earthy and robbieracer. Found with gummybear7

Felt like I offended the cafe staff for coming in for a coffee at 2:30 today but a beautiful location.

Initially couldn't find the cache due to my co-ords being out but a hint by a very friendly CO put us on the right path.

The model village was spectacular. Thanks Earthly!
