Hi Grimm Reaper 1,
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. 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.

Too many Muggles and doesn’t appear to be there anyway as previously mentioned in logs.
Cycling out to Nambucca heads today and had time to grab a couple of caches. My partner missed it luckily we double check and I had the cache in hand.

No luck. The GPS couldn't decide too, we checked a bunch of objects around the area.....
Found with nissan65 on a few days away. Beautiful place here. I remember coming here as a child for holidays. In 1974 we got into the local paper for the amount of fish we caught off the break wall using chicken gut. Log replaced as old one unsignable. Thankyou for the cache
Found with cullum68 on a few days away log replaced as old one unsignable thanks for the cache
This one had my a little confused and stressed as the coors had my in many different locations , Many muggles about. But after settling down and finishing my takeaway coffee, the cache was signed and replaced. Thanks GrimmReaper1
Parked near GZ on my way to lunch at the nearby Wharf Cafe. Lunch was delicious, I would recommend there.
Quick find was had and cache replaced as found.

Out on a bike ride without the Geogirls. Looked for a while. Checked the hint. Geodad found the cache. Log too wet to sign. TFTC! ??

Found with Geosnag1 who spotted it first. The log is very wet and needs replacing.

Cache was on the ground and log very wet.

We have had a shortage of finds this year with COVID cutting in to the amount of time we have been able to get out and about. As Victorians we have had to deal with lockdowns, restrictions on how far we can travel from home and being shut out from our neighbouring states. Thankfully all that is behind us now, and the bonus is we have been able to spend some holiday time with our son, daughter in law and their 2 boys. They are both exceptionally active and love finding “treasures” with Papa and Grandma, so today being cool and overcast we thought it was an opportune time to do a nice walk along the river and follow the breakwater out to the mouth.
This was the first and last place we stopped. They lost a bit of interest in finding the “treasure” when they saw the playground, hence our need to visit twice!
A nice quick find to start our caching run on,

Find No: 8164. Visiting from Newcastle, staying at Woolgoolga, came down today with earthly65 and Robbieracer66, couldn't believe it, we ran into geono. at the BP Service Centre, thanks for the cache Grimm Reaper 1!!
It was time for the geodog to get another short walk before we left him to a pigs ear in the ute while we walked to the end of the break-wall. He is a tad reactive towards other dogs and the paths a bit narrow round here for that to have been enjoyable for any of us let alone the other dogs we met if he had joined us.
While Groovydoo found the cache and signed the log for us I chatted to a lady about her pooches while spotting fish in the clear water along the pathway.
We eyed off the cafe as we went past and decided to have lunch there on our return. It was well worth the wait.

Took a bit of looking with my geomuggle family, dad found it, was very fun to explore, very cute and tiny geo! I love the place
This one was surprisingly quick to find, took the time to sit and have something to eat and watch the pelicans swim around... thanks for placing.
I once put a TB out there called I hate nanos but this one makes up - just a little
On my first trip visiting Australia from UK with TopRef. Traveling in our camper making our way up to Cape Tribulation. Found after a quick sit! Thanks for an ‘Bat-Tastic’ cache
Dunno why I thought it was in the flora.
If the log sheet is small we may sign as CG. We also visit any trackables that may be travelling along with us for mileage.
Lots of thanks to Grimm Reaper 1 for placing the cache and adding to our caching adventures.

Unable to locate this one today as a couple were settled in at gz having a coffee
We had decide that a trip to Nambucca Heads was called for.The tinny needed some fixing to attempt a few river caches. It was then just a matter of when we could go. The Snakepitters were heading back north again so we chose a midweek trip to go there. We settled into a cabin at the White Albatross as there are lots of caches along the break wall here.
After a morning caching on the Kalang River in the afternoon we decided to look for caches closer to town.
This was a good way to tour a tour of the town, we visited many lookout & prominent locations around the area.
Lots of workers in the area today
Agreat couple of days & as we headed home today the rain started to fall. A perfect ending for our time away.

Geowife had to take the daughter back to Grafton, so I was left home alone, what else can you do in a place you haven't bee before but cache. Luckily DiMorgan was willing to take me along as as I switched on the GPS found that all my caches we gone. Had to the use the phone with mixed success. Tks Di Morgan of the find assists. Lovely day and some good exercise walking along those beaches. All containers in good condition.

Walk past the first time but a muggle was in the way. Came back later and found it easily. Signed and returned. Not sure if it has moved as an extraction device not required. TFTC
Too many muggles for me today. I have been lucky so far and enjoying the walk. Hope to be back
Found it but do I get credit for FTF? The log was completly empty and the sheet was hard to open and very greasy. I had to use my stamp but it wasn't much use on a tiny sheet TFC Grim Reaper.
no luck here, trees have all been mulched recently so my guess is this one may have been buried. Thanks
sadly couldn’t attempt this one, someone was sitting on the tree where the cache is located. Thanks
I still organise our caching day the old fashioned way by writing down the caches and their coordinates of the ones we are going to search for.
Therefore we didn't have the updated details on this one.
After an unsuccessful search I checked the cache again and after reading the latest entry by the CO then walked straight over to this one for a quick find.
Thanks, a nice spot and a good place to have our late lunch.

Found at 12:16 PM GAFF3 at a distance of 13 metres.
Holy moly - we were looking at the wrong tree! We were looking at a tree that had our GPSr showing 1 metre, but we then moved to another one that had our GPSr showing 13 metres and started to look in an extreme micro level for anything that could hold a vial. Finally after a few minutes we found the container in a very unusual spot - ie on the ground [:o)]
We put it back where we thought the CO would want it - and we have to say - good luck to the next finder
Thanks Grimm Reaper 1.
