Hi
This cache appears to have some problems. It is the cache owner's responsibility to read the logs and check the cache to sort out any problems with it and give an indication of when it may be up and running again for people to find.
**The cache is being Disabled to give the Cache Owner an opportunity to investigate and fix the apparent issues.**
Once the cache is operational again, the CO should write an *Owner Maintenance* log advising that the promlems have been fixed, and to remove the *Needs maintenance* attribute (red cross) if that is showing on the cache page. The CO can then write an Enable log to return the cache to play.
If the cache cannot be fixed it should be archived.
**If there is no response to this log after 30 days the cache will be Archived.**
The [Geocache Maintenance guideline](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Three DNFs and a NM, and the cache has gone. Hasn't been found since last year.
This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
Second cache I've had to report for maintenance today. Could the CO please check on it? Nice location that I didn't know existed though.
Day two of our Apple Isle visit with maccamob picking up a few caches around Launceston and Devonport.
Even with the four of us looking for this one we had no joy today.

Had a good look around the obvious spot (found a munzee there though), and on the ground nearby in case it had fallen of, but no luck. Our thanks anyway to Tassieboy.
Tftc. Quick and easy find. Got it on way back home. Log needs replacing due to being full. SL
Back home after being in Tassie for a holiday, now the daunting task of logging all our finds, sorting through the scraps of paper with notes on them.
Had a few days of sunshine, a lot of days of rain, ended up with just over 105 finds all up on this trip, and visited many tourist spots in the north of Tassie.
found this cache after a quiet night in Georgetown.
no muggles about. loved how school had made brick memorials on path
thanks to the tassieboy for this cache

Tftc. Really enjoyed this one. Lived in Launceston many years and had no idea this was here.
Lost the container for a little while when i was logging, but found it after 5min of searching! Thanks!
Easy find though a spider had made its home around it. The cemetery itself didn't seem like much but still was nice little area. Tftc
Missed it the first time (we should read the description!) but an easy grab on the second look. An interesting location, TFTC!
A nice quick and easy find. So pleased to read about a memorial to the convicts who were buried here being established. aus has traced 11 convict ancestors but they are all buried in different areas in the south of the state. Thanks Tassieboy for placing a cache in such an historic area.
Quick one thanks to the hint, took a bit longer to put the log back in it's box. Thanks for showing us this spot & TFTC
A nice easy find to a place I had no idea existed, need to find out more about this place. Thanks for getting me out finding new and interesting places around old Launceston town.
Found quickly in a unique spot, thanks for bringing us here and TFTC
We've now only got five weeks left of our six month stay (til the end of March '16) from the Kurrajong area, (Blue Mountains) NW of Sydney, to tour in the caravan and also visit our kids and grandkids in the Huon Valley On four previous visits before this visit, we were muggles, so we're having fun finding the caches we didn't even know were here!

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.
Finally feeling well enough to cache, Mr Felix declared today was to be a full days caching!
So lunch packed and off we went! Some interesting suburban spots that we wouldn't normally have ventured into without Geocaching.
This was very interesting and we enjoyed seeing the start of the pathway that has been placed. Hope they continue with it. Some signage telling the history as you shared with us would be great too.
Looking forward to meeting local cachers at the Event on 17th October.

Interesting but sad place, great history lesson for the kids. Found by accident as we were staying nearby noticed the sign when driving past called in for a look then realised there was a cache, nice easy find tftc
Cached in Launceston with Grandaughter Holly, in the rain. No 5 of 17 for the day. Qucik easy find
Tftc nice little spot with a lot of history. Never would have known this was here if it wasn't for geocaching
Nice quiet spot for a lunch time wander.. Found this cache pretty quickly. Nice little container, well disguised

Another piece of Launceston's almost forgotten past, thanks for the experience .!!
Nice spot, and a quick find.
Took ages to get the log out, find a spot to sign (there wasn't one, so I signed in a tiny blank space), and roll it back up again.
Thanks.

Oops, forgot to log last night when we got home. Rather easy find, the log book is absolutely full and really needs to be replaced. I signed above another cachers name. TFTC
Needed another quick find (in between showers) to keep the streak going one more day. As I'm heading home it'll be pretty quiet for the rest of the month. This was the one targeted & it didn't disappoint. Once again the dead get the best views around. For the rest of the month Tardis will be about as quiet as this cemetery.
By far the quickest nano I have ever found. I didn't even realise there was a convict cemetery here, thanks for bringing me to a lovely and historical place. Signed the log and replaced. Tftc.
Am interesting place - can't say I've been here before or even knew about it for that matter. Easy find. SL (There are a few vacant spots in the middle of the log). TFTC tassieboy.
This quick and easy find marks 50 finds for me!
First milestone, woohoo!
TFTC!

A nice easy find while in Launceston today. TFTC.
Knight #1 & #4 went to Launceston today for a geocaching day, they found lots of great caches, 17 in total.
Thanks to all owners of caches we found today.

#1398 - 20:35; Last day in Tassie for this visit, so took the chance to clear a couple more from the iPhone top 30 closest to the Lonnie Location. Making my way back down the hill after a few finds, I called by to grab this one. An interesting piece of local history I hadn't known about before tonight. TFTC Tassieboy
Smallest micro ive seen. looked behind the sign and saw nothing, then looked a bit closer and found it. TFTC
Great time out with the family. DR JAMES, SMELLY BELLY 8 and JABs Had a lot of fun and it was a very lovely day. Gained lots of fantastic memories and visited some cool places. This was part of my geocaching scouting challenge.

Out caching Dad does not have a phone like Mums and has to log later. We all had fun.
Found on our geocaching scouts challenge. Was a fun day out with the family JABs pE and Dr J. We sore lots of different areas and lots of different types of caches.
Found[Time to Find: 4 min] 24 August 2013 11:06:12 As smelly belly 8 is doing a lot at school on convicts he walked around and read a few of the pavers and top some photos to show his class. Got a strange look from a muggle passing by.

Interesting place. Would to further look around, when it is dry. Bit muddy at the moment.
Only a few days to go on the family trip to Tasmania, and having been granted a leavepass by Mdme Starruby, I headed out for a solo day of geocaching. This was the first find on a frosty morning, and a quick and easy start to the day. TFTC
