No response from the owner within the last 28 Days and as per my original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).

The breakwall is still being worked on. The area where the cache is is blocked off by works. As soon as the works are finished it can be enabled again.

Believe repairs to the break wall will take up until xmas

Disabling while works are happening on the break wall.

Took a while and a lot of scratching but found and log signed. Nice hide. Thanks for the cache

We've had a lot of fish and chips around here, so today we had fish and chips and a cache hunt. With a history of quite a few DNF's and return visits we weren't too optimistic about finding the cache so we looked for every hint and help we could find on the cache page. And there wasn't much! Probably in the end we were just lucky enough to look in the right spot. This hide lives up to every bit of its D rating. TFTC trickytrax.

A wet day keeps the muggles away so my rock hopping went unnoticed! TFTC

Went back again today to try our luck with this one, as we thought it was on the bottom level as the CO has mentioned. We get there and there weren't many muggles about, as the weather wasn't the best, good for us as there was no one to pay any attention to us.

We searched high and low, moved leaves and rocks, then more leaves and rocks, but be careful as there is broken bottles about in some of the crevices. We eventually found it, but it still took us some time to find it, even with help from CO.

Nicely built cache and sneaky hide. Signed log, took nothing, left nothing

TFTC

I am making my way south today.
And there are a few caches along the way just waiting to be found.
Between the showers and the clock I did not find it.

Been down and checked on this one. Its still there and there seems to a resident lizard guarding the hide. Another hint for cachers is to look on the bottom level. Hope this helps

Looked for ages. G P S all over the place. Will be back.

No luck for us today!

We even brought along elderly muggle mum to help but no sign of the cache. Oh well

Sadly this one was a little too good for us. Hopefully be back and try again some day as it looked to be an interesting one from all of the logs.

We didn't find the cache this time, but look at what we did find!

TFTC

After setting up camp at the caravan park we headed out with pprass to look for caches in the area.
Gee this one took some hunting, we searched for ages before deciding to PAF, we realised we were looking in the right area. A little more searching & we soon had this clever container in our hand.
Favourite point given.
Thanks for placing this cache trickytrax

Found at 12:08 PM GAFF4 in the company of DiMorgan. Gosh - that took some time to find. We even had a muggle come up to us to see if he could help with whatever we had lost! The amount of leaves that get blown into the crevices doesn't help either. The co-ords are very good, but the problem is which level do you look at?
Thanks trickytrax.

10:52 AM
Spent 20 mins searching. Adding to the long list of DNFs. Will be back another time for another look.

[Blue] Had a short look around but the water dragons keep going into the place we wanted to look so rather then risk getting bitten we decided to leave.. Thanks anyway trickytrax

May not have found the cache this time but did spot this lovely fellow, will try again another time.

Tftc - muggles around but nobody interested in weirdo poking through leaves and rocks - cut myself a couple times so be careful but second time I've tried this one and found it, still there

No luck for us today.

Will visit again another day to try our luck then.

Third time lucky with help. Took Nothing Left nothing. Slgned Log

Came down to check on this hide. It's still in its spot. Removed a bit of leaf covering to make it abit easier.

?

We have been looking for the last 30 minutes and found nothing but garbage. Could owner please check if it has been removed.

Thanks.

Searched for a short while and bingo. TFTC

Well, after reading the last couple of logs, we didn't think we would find this, but had a go anyway, and after about 10 minutes, we had the cache in hand, what an awesome container... TFTC

TFTC. Great hide.

looked for a bit, too many spots, rocks and people

So, just when you think you are on a roll, something comes along to throw a spanner in the works. Came back to this one for a second look after a hint from the CO but still no luck. A real tricky one from trickytrax. The GPS certainly wavers and twitches but even when I got it settle on a spot still no luck finding the cache Maybe next time?? Picked a good time to search as it was a drizzly Sat arvo and not too many people around.

not today or when previous cacher was looking

Logging at a DNF. CO informed that possible cache container was not correct. Will try again

Found the possibly container - but with bison missing. Have messaged the owner.

She'll be right mate!

A lot harder than I expected. Searched with geo-wife for 20min but no luck.

Didn't find it.

Found with goldielover while visiting this great town. Took a little to track this one down. Great cache, Well done.

Found with stairman1. The easy part was finding it. The hard part was getting this log out. TFTC

We have a brave german cacher too. Tricky and scary. TFTC.

Same, its not worth to lift each stone here...

Well hidden Tftc n congrats

Found while holidaying in Coffs Harbour, nice hide found a few like this Tftc

Too many hiding places too little time too dark

It felt like I have been here hundreds of times. Today I got a clue from the co and became a brave german cacher. Thanks for the help trickytrax

My first and did not find

This cache beat us on a col and windy day.

Muggle was on the chair so only a brief search possible... without a positive outcome.

It seems a day in coffs one has quite a few dnfs,finding it tough going,I'll battle on a bit longer.

very nice camp n well hidden.
TFTC trickytrax

Will have to try again later!

Dropped in again last night and again we had no luck. Just got a messgae from earthly who was going to give us a hand with the cache, they stopped in at GZ and cache has been muggled.

Been down and checked on this cache. It's still there. It hasn't been muggled. Sounds like this one is more challenging than I first thought. When you find it you will slap yourselves. Keep hunting.

Dropped down with batdos and summerr123 searched for a while and couldnt find the elusive cache. evne tried a PAF with no luck

Nice tricky hide, found by GeoUncle thanks for the hint....

Aaargh !! Another DNF after another half an hour of looking [:o]
I've gotta get out of Coffs !!

We tried for ages but being Mothers Day AND sunny there were muggles galore. Well hidden!

Attempted this one on Mother's Day also with Julie & Peter and glad to see that someone else couldn't find it either. There were lots of muggles coming and going, one lot stopped to ask if we had lost something. We went off to find another one nearby and came back for a second attempt after reading previous logs but still nothing. So we went and bought some fresh prawns for lunch and will have to leave this one for another day. Beautiful day tho, thanks trickytrax

Went down to check on cache after 2 dnf's today. It is still there in all its glory waiting to be found.
FTF goes to feryl. Followed closely by earthly65. Well done.

Found this nice hide whilst out night caching for the new caches with earthly....nicely made...thanks trickytrax
