This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.
If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Didn't look for long to be fair. I felt like I looked suss the the residents searching on my own
Great spot! So glad it didn’t take too long as it would’ve been too draining for the kids
Staying at Coolangatta Estate, an opportunity for some nearby caches. A nice spot indeed, matched by a nice hide. TFTC
Less muggles at this location shoalhaven heads is very busy on the Australia day weekend regular weekends and weekdays are a lot quieter tftc
Nice quick find thanks to other logs, lots of very noisy cicadas around! Lovely spot although rather grey and cool today. TFTC
Nice one! Out & about w @andthentherewas3 - day out exploring our local area TFTC
Quick find just after dark... lucky because within seconds we were smashed by Mozzies! Introduced a couple of kids from the van park to geocaching. TFTC
This was a nice detour, after a lovely lunch at the new Bangalay resort near the surf club.
TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.
Great place for a cache, but the co-ords were a bit off unfortunately. The hints in the activity log really helped as it took us a while at first. Also a lovely off-leash beach for the geodogs! TFTC
Finally found this after looking for it over a year ago. The activity hints really help.
We started our systematic search with Dan looking at one spot, whilst Sue looked at another, and Sue found it straight away. A nice hiding hole for a cache. TFTC
Found at 1:44 PM GAFF3 in the company of &others.
Gosh - this cache nearly "drained" us [B)] Spent ages going up and down and then there were so many misleading bits of information starting with the co-ords (take you to the bottom of the steps?) then the cache description (inside the stairway?) and then the hint (step?) and then some of the logs (poking with a stick? to the right of the stairs? yes - but which way are you facing?)
Thanks PatrickImpress. - but I think this cache is no longer in the spot that you originally placed it in.

Had a DNF here last year so detoured today after a bush walk to claim a yellow smiley. Nice and quiet here today, last time I was here on a sunny Sunday with a constant stream of muggles going up & down, interrupting me ! SL TFTC PatrickImpress

Yay we found with sesblocker!
Nice hide! We started poking around with a stick and heard a metallic sound, then plunged hand in and had CIH.

This cache is DEFINITELY still here in (from memory) good condition, and I found it quickly, but by using the hint, as I do believe the coordinates are out, which might be causing some problems. It's also a micro (mintie tins are micros), which might be confusing some people too, who are looking for the listed small. It's a neat hide, near the top of the stairs (as per the hint), to the right of the stairs. I hope I haven't given too much away, but people are struggling to find this, when it is NOT missing. NO reason for this to be archived.

It's still here! Not in a normal container! Just a little note paper in a mint container!
A fresh map for a fresh year…
Missing caches has been a topic of conversation recently. To rectify this, I manually checked every cache listing within 70km from home – for caches that needed “Needs Maintenance” or “Needs Archive” logs. I found that there are quite a few caches that needed attention from their respective owners or the local community volunteer reviewers. Now one month on, I’ve gone back through my bookmarked list to check on the status of the said caches.
Unfortunately posting a Needs Archived log due to lack of maintenance.
There has been a string of DNF’s since June 2017.
A Needs Maintenance Log was posted on 2nd December.
No response from CO.
No action has been taken to maintain this cache.

Any chance the CO can check on this one?
Thank you

Thank you
Gave it a good look, lost a cheap pair of glasses, went back and still found neither!
Was with a previous finder, area had been cleaned, not very many places to hide
Another day spent down in the Shoalhaven area. This time I visited North Nowra, Bomaderry, and Shoalhaven Heads. Made a good mark on the map - finding nearly all of the caches attempted today. Once again, I met up with Bonfire7 and we had a great day outdoors! Thank you to all the Cache Owners for an enjoyable day trip.
Notable mention: This one was tricky. Previous finder showed me where the container should be, but after checking logs we widened our search and found the container a little further down. It was cracked and the contents were gooey and gross. I went back to the car to replace it with a fresh container, ziplock bag and paper. Placed back in it's original position, a bit further than wrist-deep... Cheers

Adding my voice to the chorus... It doesn't seem to be there. I had over half an hour in good light and with no disturbances, to poke, tap, grip and shake everything. Perhapd DOC_WHO is a better hider than they thought?
In Kangaroo Valley for a week long holiday with the family. After taking a day off on Australia Day, today we went to Shoalhaven Heads. Unfortunately, I had no luck with this one. I noted another DNF, maybe CO can do a maintenance check to confirm it it still there? Thanks PatrickImpress
Sadly we were not successful. We were concerned that it may have be placed somewhere else or washed away. Maybe a check is in order.

An easy find while exploring the area with Rambolina.
Found container as if refuse, so tucked into a more secure obvious spot for cachers.
