As there's been no cache to find for a long time, and it appears to have been abandoned, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

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 30 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

Community Volunteer Reviewer

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

There has been a buildup of caches around the Mid North Coast that have not been found for quite some time with multiple DNF's, Write Note, or Needs Maintenance and where the CO has not been able to follow up or are no longer caching. Consequently these caches appear to have been abandoned.

These caches need to be archived to stop visitors to our region from being disappointed after in some cases having to make a significant effort to get to GZ only to find nothing.

Well it hasn't been a very successful venture into Macksville today with only a few finds out of 10 or so.

Had a good 15 minute look and did not find it. I wouldn’t be surprised if local resident has removed it.

No good today

Gave it a good 30 minutes and gave up

No luck today

DNF

Save it for next time

GPS jumping around...but clue in description was helpful

Couldnt find

Thanks for the walk.

Yesterday I departed Brisbane on my way south to spend Christmas with some relatives in Vincentia, NSW. I had allowed myself a few days of relaxed travel, which gave me plenty of time to do some caching along the way. Having camped in my car in Coffs Harbour overnight, I was up at daybreak to continue the journey south, pausing for a stop at this cache.

A water truck was filling up quite close to GZ, so I searched a few places a little way from where my phone was indicated GZ was before deciding to abandon the hunt. Just then the truck drove away so I started a new search closer to the indicated GZ. Was lucky to place my hand on the cache almost straight away. TFTC

What a glorious sunny day for some Caching. We stopped in Macksville for some lunch and thought we would find a few more in the township, before heading for home.

After a short search at GZ, cache was in hand. Many thanks for bringing us here. TNLNSL TFTC

Great hide

I dripped past this tower again today
I've passed by this leaky tower a few times in search of the cache [:o]
Today I managed to see the container peeking out of its hiding place,
and quickly grabbed the prize

No one seemed to be home next door !!
But the golf course was doing a roaring trade as always [:o]

A big day of caching while being based at Stuarts Point. We had a great day out and it was wonderful to find this cache. Thankyou Nudge74 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area

Awesome

Mad as-K

Not the first place we looked. Trying to get some October caches. Many thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

well my lil stick i used to check where the spiders are looked like a ghoulish stick of fairy floss by the time the gps decided where gz was..cobwebs cleared!!..haha..thanks for the smiley nudge74

While doing the Forgotten Highway series we called into do this one. Nice location - thanks.

Taking a little detour to find a few extras whilst doing the Forgotten Highway series. Sooo many hiding spots on these type of structures but we had the cache in hand fairly quickly. And a good thing too, just as we were leaving a water tanker was arriving to fill up. Phew!

Found on last mad dash attempt after work to get the hidden creatures world turtle souvenir ... cause my groom said I had to! TFTC

This cache is my 100th this month - to complete the challenge of the hidden creatures and obtain the world turtle!

Stuarts Point Day2
Today's main event was lunch at the Buffalo farm, but still plenty of time to do some caching around Macksville before the event.

Found at 3:43 PM GAFF4.
This is a repeat of "Hidden Park"
Looked all around and couldn't get the GPSr to hone in on anything in particular, so I started to randomly check out a few likely spots. One in particular was a bit of a "what the heck is that" moment as I darted my hand into an area that was a bit of a leap of faith - that is when we received a call to meet the CO at Hidden Park to check that one out again.
After Hidden Park we came back with the CO and went straight to the cache even though there were all sorts of unknown nasty things in there
Thanks Nudge74.

We are heading North to Dorrigo for a few days, grabbing caches along the way.

Quite a few spots to hide a cache here, luckily though our geosense was on point and we made a quick find.
Thanks for the cache

Searched with our mobile phones while on the way to see Chappaquiddick at the movies. Alas, our phone torches were not strong enough although I did see some eight legged creatures staring back at me. I'll try again in the daylight.

Thanks nudge74.
