##Cache Maintenance Required please.##
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.
The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.
See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance).

If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on.
When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.

I will check back in 30 days to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided.

If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Thank you

After a few laps at the Aquatic Centre I decided to go for a bit of trainspotting.

After a short search the cache was found and formalities completed.

No trains today but there was some rolling stock.

This cache yielded the Roman Colosseum as a Modern Wonder.

Today was a day of doing some caching around the Coffs Harbour accompanied by ilook4geo. It was a successful day with no DNFs to mar the chosen list. Each cache had its log signed with both lots of initials, then each container was replaced where it had been found. Thanks go to Trickytrax for this cache placement. Appropriate camo was used for this one. Cute.

Doing some caching this morning around Coffs with goingplaces2. It was a fun day and we were happy to add some more smileys to the map. This was another one we were able to tick off our list. TFTC.

Had to come back to Coffs again for more secret men's mechanical business so again I had a bit more time to wander off and find this one. Another nice camo and hide.

redridinghood.ch and I are in Coffs Harbor today. Unfortunately, the weather is not great. But that does not stop us from collecting a few cans. The train arrived after a short search and the cache could be logged. T4TC

Today arived at the campsite. Of course we do some caches around. This is the last one of today.
The train was passing by: 3 diesel-locs with a lot of wagons full of steel, ready for the factory.
After that the train-cache was quick spotted
A favo for this cache

I spotted a couple of train spotting caches on the geo-map as I drove back to our hotel after exploring the harbour foreshore area and figured why not grab them. So I did and was delighted at the effort the CO had made to theme them appropriately ... I'm sure they are a hit with the kids. Thanks for placing them trickytrax.

This cache is actually the closest to my house but it's taken me 9 mths to come and get it. I have looked once before to no avail, less undergrowth helped today as well as a clue about what sort of container it might have been . Picked up a pinecone and chunk of paperback branch for the shelter bunny to chew on too. Tftc

Quick find with the kids - this one was mine though!

After some Mother's Day festivities at the surf club, the family retreated to our hotel, so we made the most of the last couple of hours of daylight with a caching drive out to Corambirra Point, managing 9 finds with a trio of DNFs.
We only just found this. It was a late addition as we were heading back in the dark. It was not an easy search in the dark with only an iPhone LED too, as we didn't have our proper torch. Using the photo to guide us a systematic search of the structures at GZ eventually yielded the cache.... TFTC trickytrax

Number 4 for the afternoon, but no trains spotted today or indeed any time I have driven past the rail line this visit. I seem to see the XPTs more at Hornsby than I ever do up here. Thanks trickytrax.

Out and about caching in Coffs Harbour on my birthday.

After finding the last one, we somewhat knew what we were looking for. Again this one requires you to look at the right level to find the cache.

I have ridden a train along that very track ... once.

Take the train to find out why Razz
A great experience,
but I don't ever want to do it again Big Grin

We've come north to escape the miserable Victorian winter, and Coffs Harbour you have certainly not let us down. A week of beautiful sunshine and warmth and some caches thrown in for good measure.
Another one bites the dust! We even had an XPT go past on cue while we were looking!

I replaced this cache today. It had disappeared, most likely into the ground as there was a lot of bark and mulch on the ground. So to stop this from happening again we moved the cache upwards. Don't look on the ground any more. Happy caching
 
02-May-17
Didn't happen for us today.Thanks anyway

TFTC, quick park and grab.
