I noticed that this cache has been temporarily disabled for a period of time well in excess of the period of "a few weeks" as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the *archive listing* link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.
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. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Cache container replaced at GZ. New log sheet and pencil in Cache. Good luck and Happy Caching
This became an easy find as the magnet is not working and it was lying on the ground. TFTC
Nice quick P&G. Was able to park right at GZ after pin pointing what I was looking for. After a quick feel around cache was soon in hand. TFTC
Cache is in need of maintenance, so temporarily disabling until repairs and/or replacement can be carried out.
Found it but it’s not attached. Needs to be repaired. Still an easy find
Out doing a maintenance run. Cache container replaced and cache placed in its original location. Good luck and happy Caching
Picking up a few caches while staying Coffs with family. This was a quick and easy find but the method of attachment is very weak and failing. Our name was noted on the log and all was returned to its place before we moved on. Thanks go to Mystery Sleuth for this cache placement.
Out caching around Coffs Harbour today, and thought we would grab a couple of caches, & swap a few TBs.
GZ only has one hidey hold, and the cache is located thusly. Simple find with a quick park and grab.

Out doing a maintenance run and checked on this one. Cache is still there and is waiting to be found. Good Luck and Happy Caching
Found a flattened rusty eclipse tin right under a light post. Thinking this was it once
Did not find but found this on the ground at the location. Thinking it might be this
The lights were on,
and somebody was at home today
So it was a quick find in the empty carpark [^]

This one would have been a classic drive by-if only we had parked a bit closer! With a short walk however we were at GZ and spotted the cache as we walked up. It was sitting on the ground rather than attached. Needless to say, once we had signed the log it was reattached as we believe it should have been.

Tftc. We found this on on a sunny day (surprising with all the rain recently). We had parked here for shuttle bus to 4wd, caravan and camping show and as we were heading to show Geowife said there is a cache here. On return we made a quick find and headed in our way. Tnlnsl.
While camping at Mylestom with Geodog (Scruffy) ...
We just had to go out and find a few caches ..
All Good .. TFTC ..

Can't believe it was where it was. I checked there and didn't find. Checked later on a bit better and found it. TFTC
Took me a couple minutes of wondering around like an idiot but the hiding spot was quite cleaver
Out doing a maintenance run and checked on this one and it was gone. Have now replaced with a new container. Good Luck and Happy Caching
Catching up on my logging. My apologies for the delay.
We were camping up at Wooli having a lovely time but took days here and there to head out and go find some geocaches. Today we were here. This was a nice quick find and we thankfully added our signature to the log. Thanks for placing the cache here Mystery Sleuth, for us and others to find. Cheers!

Was dark as I had a look for this one,I with a bit of reluctance put my fingers in to retrieve the treasure.TFTC.
Found at 10:55 AM GAFF1 in the company of Team Nurse Hayley.
The girls were a bit squeamish to retrieve this cache so it was up to p-pprass to do the "leap of faith" - see he is still good for something
Thanks Mystery Sleuth.

TFTCThanks for the cache Mystery Sleuth, this is a lovely location. Found with geo grandkids. This is the #1268 cache we have found.
Young granddaughter had the Garmin GPS while "Nanny" had the Galaxy smartphone. It was a race from where we parked the car and GD Eryka sprinted to where she thought it was and had the cache in hand while Nanny was still studying her smartphone.

Biking in from Sawtell to Coffs today, and had to pass by some new cache locations. I saw these come through last night as newly created, and also knew that if I left looking for them until today that the chance of a FTF was pretty slim - I was correct. TFTC
Got the FTF again, While we knew our competition were looking for caches on the other side of town we slipped out here to beat them. Successful once again. I'm sure we beat them only by a few minutes. TFTC
