We went for a stroll along the walking track here with ilook4geo, but had to wait a couple of minutes here while some muggles passed by before we could retrieve this cache. It was well hidden but it was easy enough to add both names to the log and replace. Thanks go to trickytraxfor placing this cache.

Found with Mrs BillHill, Staying at Coff's Harbour for the week doing some touristy things and some caches if time allows. The GZ had me looking in the wrong area but quickly found when I increased the search area,
Signed log and Cache replaced as found.

Found this one this afternoon, cleverly hidden! Forgot to bring a pen so will be back another day to sign the log. TFTC

Was the log replaced? Nice cache.
 
27-Jun-21
While we were looking for the cache an elderly couple came along the boardwalk and asked if we needed a hand. After a bit of conversation we realised they weren’t geocachers and they weren’t going to tell us where the cache was.

We still told them what we were doing and they offered some very constructive help like a) it could be under the boardwalk, b) maybe it was a fake leaf, and c) maybe some unicorns stole it to make rainbows. One of their suggestions proved to be the difference. tftc
 
15-Apr-21
A short wander along this deserted path led to GZ and a quick find.

The log sheet is soaked and definitely needs replacing.

This cache yielded my last travel wonder, Victoria Falls.

**Total find count: 1008**

After what has felt like an eternity, we are finally taking our first geocaching road trip since Clear Waters with Crzymelly, TeamPQS and HubbyandMrs.

A local day in an around Coffs to avenge a DNF, some beach atime for the kids, and to find cache 1000 for me.

I'm beginning to recognize this COs style! Another triumph! Thanks trickytrax
 
10-Nov-19
Found after a bit of a search - GPS had me at the wrong tree but cache was within the 10m radius. Cache was not what I was expecting but very creative. TFTC
 
03-Sep-19
Parked the bikes on the southern breakwall and rode back to the start of this track to grab 4 previously unfound caches.
This was the last one tackled and Mr Beetle headed off the track to find it. I spotted it from the boardwalk though and directed him o GZ.
A nice hide and the cache name suddenly made sense.
Quite a busy track too with walking, cycling, jogging and dog walking muggles aplenty.
Thanks and a favourite point from us.

Staying in Coffs Harbour for a few days so thought I should check out a few local caches. Am working on a puzzle challenge so grabbed Coffs Creek 1 to help with the nearby puzzle cache. While on the walk grabbed this one as well.
 
22-Apr-19
Baffled the kids for a few minutes until we read the hint......

Thanks for improving a great bike ride.
 
20-Mar-19
Off on a short geo-tour to Coffs Harbour for a couple of days. Out on Evie rounding up as many smiles as I can. Another cache that made my "to do" list.

With bouncy GPSr under the tree cover the hint was extremely helpful. Not the first or second spot I looked.

Always nice to find something different, especially after over 9000 finds.

A favourite point to add to the collection

Clever cache tftc a muggle rode past as I was signing it but fortunately didn't ask any questions.
 
21-Jan-19
One of those things you cant see for looking then when you do finally spot it, its like 'how did i miss that!!'
Well done, nice cache in a pretty spot. Fav point from me

Just landed in Coffs Harbour for a couple of days on our training trek. Staying in the caravan park. Well worth going through the shop and miniature village. Needed to get up those steps this morning so of for a walk. Absolutely delighted with the walking path. This one had me really going. Checked out every tree standing and lying close by. Interesting beans growing from the vines. 3/4 hr and gave up. Moved onto another cache further on. On my return nature called and I moved further out and bingo. Very funny. Nothing like what I expected. Thanks for bringing me and the cache

Today we got out on the bikes and rode the Coffs Creek trail from the caravan park down to the beach. The highlight for Mrs SKI was the coffee and cake at Gibbos van just after you cross the road heading down to the surf club. Good coffee and an outstanding vanilla slice combined with chatty good service! A good old fashioned baker!
We both enjoyed the ride along the creek through the bushland. Who would know you are in the middle of a city!
We understood this one better once we had made the find.

Log soaked, we had nothing to replace with. Clever camo.

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 trickytrax. SL

Well we couldn't resist the challenge of finding a needle in a haystack or vine in a tree, so we made the journey here to try our luck. We searched every tree that we suspected of being in the vicinity of GZ except the one it was in
 
18-Feb-17
A sneaky hide well done, Took a bit longer than we thought but in the end we had the cache TFTC SL Cool

A quick stop while jogging around the circuit did not reveal the cache.
Probably too much sweat in my eyes. Didnt spend a lot of time looking - next time...
