Owner has lost all interest in cache - no action has been taken since publication. Could this please be archived to get it off the search engines?
It's been over a month since this one was disabled. Is the CO going to check on this or can it be archived? Thanks
Although the listing has been disabled I thought I'd have another crack at it on my way home on Wednesday night. I spent quite a bit of time looking for the information at WP1 and trees within a 50 metre radius but also a bit of time checking the obvious spots in the area I suspected GZ would be. Plenty of muggles about but no nosy Council workers. Still it was worth a try as this one in now closest unfound cache to home.
Oh well, I was hoping to steal a first before heading back up to Canberra, but 'twas not to be. Maybe I can still log an FtF - First to Fail? [;-)] Look forward to giving it a go when next I pass this way. Good luck all!
I think it is obvious that Owner Intervention is required. If it is still there, it must be a very good hide!
Same story from me, even with the new clue.
I did find a small sistema at the base of a tree 21m from WP1, but it was open, wet and empty.
I left it partly hidden in some low green twigs of it turns out to be relevant.

Returned for another (not-to-hopeful) search. With the new hint I spent a considerable amount of time checking at all sorts of trees - some near WP others not - but came up empty-handed once again. I did locate a couple of possible hides but they were empty... I also tried for a lucky GZ find but no joy there either! :-\
I saw the mystery systema - presumed lunchbox from a picnic or passing school child. There was also the bottom half of a container in the garden but it had obviously been out for some time judging by the leaf mould within...
I think the coordinates/cache/WP/hints/etc need checking moss boy - I don't think this many DNFs on a new cache bodes well for it!...

We will disable until we can check it. Sorry for wasting your time on looking for this. 
Spent about half an hour at WP1. Looked further afield. Wondered if posted coords were correct. Bumped into C@H and spladem also looking. I left them to continue their search in vain and dodging the council gardeners.
It's a fine line in geocaching between a challenge and a frustration. I followed the new clue, as did gmj3191 earlier, and found nothing of significance. Are we literally barking up the wrong tree - or does this cache need some more work. I will watch and wait.
WP1 coordinates are where? I've been all over the feature at the published coords without a result. I've even sent my trained monkey skywards without success. If it is there, I'm gonna need rocket-boots or stilts to continue the search (my vote is for rocket-boots!).
After returning home from an afternoon's caching I discovered this one published. With no log claimed I decided to have a look, but like AmethystPig before me turned up nuffin at what is presumably WP1. Plenty of muggles around so I didn't spend more than a few minutes staring up hoping to spot some sort of clue for GZ. But nope... :-\
