The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.
I am 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 or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

This cache has had a troubled history and the CO is not doing any maintenance. Better let it go.
Could the CO please check out this cache as it hasn't been found since September and there are now 3 DNF's.
Also the D/T rating needs to be adjusted as it is proving to be more difficult than a 1.0 and there is not much chance that a person in a wheelchair would be able to get to the cache location - which is what a T of 1.0 indicates.

Pouring rain so I gave up pretty quick. Honestly can't see how this can be a 1/1 DT. Certainly can't get a wheelchair in here around the big fig.
Thanks

Out and about in town today finding a few caches before heading south to Wauchope. 
A short walk from the previous find as I do a walking tour of town.
After a lap or two I gave up as there is a lot of rubbish here.

Searched today and couldn't not find. Jasclo came by to help us and she also couldn't find. Lots of bottles, clothes and rubbish around, think we may have been in someone's home! May have been muggled
JAG found this one last night during a late night numbers catch up. We came here during the day and there was too many muggles around. We found this one a little hard to find as it wasn't just under some leaves. But it didn't take J long to find it as his young eyes and little hands done the trick.
This is my first ever find. Didn't take too long. Now I have some sort of an idea what sort of things I am looking for. Tftc
Found at 5:51 PM GAFF1 in the company of Team Nurse Hayley.
Having completed all of the outlying caches (except for Something old something new) we headed back to town for the event and to find this cache that ozglory kindly replaced for the CO.
Whenever we see a D/T of 1.0/1.0 we know we are going to be in deep !@#$ and this proved to be no different. There are just so many hiding spots and the GPSr would not hone in on any specific spot. Eventually we dug up the container after nearly going right around the tree.
Thanks CarvDogg25.
Feedback:
This cache is much more difficult than a 1.0/1.0 and should be rated at least a 2.0/1.5. Also there is no TB in the container.

Found with Pprass before the leap year event.
This was a tricky one I thought, but after finding 43 caches today I think we were well and truly stuffed. Great hide, lots of empty wine bottles. TFTC

TFTC, had tried this one a few times but always to many muggles, place to myself today, easy find.
After a few dnf we checked on this cache, it had in deed gone. We searched around in case it had been placed in a different spot and concluded it was muggled. We have place a cache in the original location to help keep it active. If the owner of the cache is not happy with this please just message us and we will remove the cache we placed. Cheers Ozglory
Nice work ozglory - if a cache is in a good location it's better to keep it going than to archive. I don't think the CO would mind - actually should be very grateful 
Many thaks to ozglory for replacing this cache. It is much appreciated! I went to check on it a few days ago and there were far too many muggles. Once again, thank you to ozglory from CO!
If its here it's well hidden. Maybe there's a reason why it hasn't been found in 7 weeks?
Lots of muggles in the park today but cache was hidden far enough away from them. TFHC
Didn't even look there today, there seemed to be a vagrant sleeping at the bottom..
Just a bit dicy so didn't attempt to search as there was a male gender vagrant sleeping at the base of tree. 
After a few days of bad weather we planned a trip to Kempsey to find some of the many new caches that had been hidden since we were last here.
Todays we found in a variety of locations, many we did not know existed or visited before.
These large trees can often be a real problem to find a cache, today we only had to circle it once.
Thanks for placing this cache CarvDogg25

An easy find. Didn't wholly want to put my hand in, but a lovely little cache. Many thanks!
I love this park. Its the River Rats home. Watch for the Dragon Boat at dawn or dusk

Found it..woohoo....Please only adults pick it up. A few unsavory things around.
In Kempsey for a bit of shopping and caching. Never walked though this little park before so thank you for bringing me here. Wonderful old tree, cache quickly found, not too many muggles around on a quiet Monday. Thanks carvdogg25
Owner maintenance and dropped off a TB(my first TB find so very exciting).
Happy GCing

Finally a cache for the day that is not a Bison tube, and a real log book - none of those scrolly things. The only question was which of the roots was the cache hiding in.
