Going to disable this until I can have a look they have been cutting down trees and clearing the surroundings.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

spent around an hour going around through the vines and what felt like 100s of cobwebs to try and make a smiley on this one with no luck. This cache needs to be changed I feel, with either both a much higher dif/terrain rating, or to be move to a part of the tree which is a little less overgrown. In its current state I feel that it is just near impossible to find. Thanks anyway

Dnf, tree and vines very overgrown
 
07-Oct-18
Checked on this one today after a couple of DNFs and its all good still in place removed some leaves to make it easier Happy Caching
 
07-Oct-18
came back again and had another look but it’s too overgrown to even have a proper look. thanks anyway
 
03-Oct-18
Wasn't even going to atttempt this one, we had a look at GZ and were on our way.
 
14-Sep-18
not today, vines and bamboo badly overgrown and after almost walking into 2 golden orb spiders webs i decided this one wasn’t worth it. thanks anyway
 
27-May-18
Did a little maintenance on this one. The tree was badly over grown with vines. We dug it out of the vines and placed it on top. Its ready to be found again. Good luck and happy caching
 
26-May-18
After pulling up here and realising the last cacher in Jan could not find it, we had a quick look but too much leaf litter and too many possible locations to dig in said litter... maybe a CO check? Thanks
 
03-Jan-18
Too much leaf coverage to find
 
18-Oct-17
Had a second look for this one, too many dead leaves, spiders and mozzies. Not a simple park and grab... Sad
 
18-Oct-17
After digging amongst leaves finally found it. Needs maintence so it doesnt get buried again.
 
18-Oct-17
Not an easy find leaves covered it to the moon and back ... Will make it a bit easy for the next one ...

New to geocaching (first cache) looked for 30mins. Couldnt find it.
 
26-Aug-17
No find
 
12-Aug-17
Looked around for a while, but a combination of our GPS location mucking up and lots of spider webs made it so we left empty-handed Sad
 
16-Jun-17
Not having any luck in Coffs. Another dnf that looks like it's gone.

Thanks for the cache trickytrax.
 
03-Oct-16

TFTC, at first I thought, oh no this could be anywhere, but as luck may have it, it was in the first place I checked.
 
14-Mar-16

Found at 2:20 PM GAFF1 in the company of DiMorgan.
Thought that I was going to be in big trouble with all of the possible hiding spots, but luckily I approached it from the right angle and it was right in front of me.
Thanks trickytrax.

Wear enclosed shoes when going while it's raining lol.. My feet are soaked. This took me way too long to find.. Not sure whether it's because I'm rusty or too intoxicated either way it's an easy find.
Took TB. TFTC.
Merry Christmas!

23-Oct-15
obviously i did not find the spot, lol even with my feet Sad. lol
 
23-Oct-15
it seems some comments have confused people on this cache. It's one of the easiest caches we have. There is no need to dig or use your feet. It's just in the tree. Put there for a quick park and grab. Don't think to hard about this one.
 
19-Oct-15
Found it! Had to have a second look, really sneaky one!
 
18-Oct-15
Really upset - didn't find so it must have been muggled
 
18-Oct-15

Today we travelled from Port Macquarie to Coffs Harbour. camped at the Park Beach caravan park.
Quiet a number of new caches since we were here last. The drive around town was like a small tiki tour.
We found quiet a variety of caches in some great locations.
Thanks for placing this cache trickytrax

Took a road trip with Forbiddenground, travelling from Brissy with 2 specific goals. An Unloved cache past Coffs Harbour and the Hwy park & grabs on the way. A great trip with many great caches along the way. Would like to thank the CO's for placing their hides & keeping the game alive.

Will the rain ever stop ?? Razz
It rained most of last week, then I had one good sunny day and last night, the rains came back again [:o]
So today's caching run was around towne, hopping in and out of the geomobile for short strolls to find caches.

I didn't have to stroll to far to get to this cache Smile
But the big old tree was dripping big old raindrops on me head [:o]
Cache found, I retreated into the open for a logbook signing Big Grin

I dropped in "Margalho" TB here Smile
But it won't show up 'cos somebody has grabbed it from me before I could log it in the cache Sad
 
02-May-15
Pretty easy in amongst the leafs
 
18-Apr-15
Actually a really difficult search due to the amount of leaves . Not a D1 in my opinion
 
18-Apr-15
Found it with a fellow geocacher. Lovely man and his puppy Penny. Talked for a while about other caches and renewed our love of outdoor fun. Thanks to gentleman and creator of this cache.

Found by Mary & David, at 1101. That's certainly a great tree, and we felt like we were in the jungle. Found after a short search. Our thanks to trickytrax.

Same as Earthly65. Coords led me to another spot away from GZ. After quickly discounting this a a hiding spot I wandered over to the obvious.

Thanks
