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 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Had a look around within the 20m range but could not locate. Maybe next time. Kutgw
Road trip to deloraine again today and missed this one yesterday so thought I'd get it today
Found it easily. It isn't a strepsil container. It's an eclipse mint container painted black.
This was a nice spot to pull over for a quick cache on our way home from our holiday in Tasmania. TFTC Zentanglers. Cache was in good condition.
Coords about 20m off. It in the obvious place. We were 'all a quamby' at first. TFTC
TFTC I have tried this one a few times in the past, thanks for replacing. Nice to have a smiley on the map
We were just about to give up on this one when we decided to look a little further afield from the place the GPS had taken us to. There was only one other realistic place to look given the hint, and once at that place we found it quickly. Our first Tasmanian cache.
GPSr had me some metres away and initially scaling a tree - not there. Stood back and then searched in the more obvious location.. thanks..!!
Quick easy find after reading previous logs, thanks for replacing it and keeping it in the game rocket2015
We're half way through 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 have a whole island of caching fun ahead of us!

Driving home past some caches. Drove in and at GZ checked some spots and then read some logs. Ohh, I C....So a temporary cache has been setup. Went to the new coords and found it straight away. SL and replaced.
My GPS showed it at 23m but an easy find just the same. TFTC from Angus88 the great GeoWestie and his Carer Lis Brown both grey nomads living on the road and currently spending their fourth summer in Tasmania.
After hunting in the GZ location we were about to leave when I spotted the replacement cache as described in the previous log( which I had not read). Advise to others is to read that log first.
This cache has long disappeared due to tree trimming in the GZ earlier in the year. Many DNF's and the CO has been MIA from Geoworld for quite some time (2013 last logged on) and not responding to messages regarding the cache.
Tonight I've placed a temporary cache out at the GZ to keep this one live until CO can be contacted to sort out a permanent solution.
Cache is not exactly where it was originally but should be an easy find.
Updated coordinates:
S 41 31.653 E 146 55.883
Updated hunt:
Magnetic behind Y
TFTC and hope to hear from CO soon
Happy caching
Cheers

Couldn't find. Can owner please check as might need attention. As third DNF in log
DNF on this one tonight... Appears to have been some trimming of the trees around the GZ so the cache may have been lost during this... The GPS kept taking me to where a branch may have once been. Might pay got The CO to drop out and investigate.
Cheers

Once again I have had no luck with this one. Was encouraged when I saw it had been found recently but do not think it is here now.
Found on the ground. Placed it back where I thought it belonged. Could have come down during done pruning work.
#1825 - Found by B after a bit of a jump on a nice day except for a headwind on our cycle from Launceston to Deloraine. Challenge to grab. All part of the fun and challenges on our AroundOz bicycle tour. Many thanks to Zentanglers for this arm stretching cache.

We were caching in the lovely Meander Valley today and were delighted to be taken to such picturesque areas.
The cache was on the ground - probably blown out by strong winds as the container is very light. We returned to its hide. Thank you for the cache.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
Cache has not been found for a long time so I presume it went AWOL. We found the obvious hidey hole and replaced it for you Zentanglers. Hope that's ok.

Couldn't find anywhere. Think it may be gone as many other people have not found it either. First DNF for the day
4 of us looking all around could not find it. Maybe it has gone.

Had a quick search as I was hurrying a bit so it was still time for a meal at Carrick. Was confused between the last log entry and hint.
Here's what I said on 26/1/14 (yep, I'm Tardis too):
Found lying on the ground in the open - yet again! Replaced in only real spot it could live (I'm 6 foot & could reach easily). I have a theory: this cache container is so light that any sort of breeze just blows it off it's perch. Needs either a larger container with something heavy (like a rock) or tied on with string. Neither of which I had in my caching kit today. Nor did I have a band-aid (jumbo sized) for the ugly gash on forehead I received when attacked by viscious tree branch awaiting approach of unwary cachers intent on quick replacement between muggle vehicles. DNA sample left along with signature to prove find.
Well I'm back on a re-sign exercise & this time it was balanced up there, but still precariously. Very careful to DUCK this time too. Whoah! Something has seriously died around here though!

Nearly out of my reach! But shoved it around with a stick and finally got it. Might need a bigger container? Paper/pencil very cramped in there.
I found the cache on the ground, so put it back where I think it was meant to be. Good coords meant that it was easy to identify the right location.
It was a stretch but reachable. Last one for our long weekend trip 'up north' TFTC

Found but unable to reach. About 2.5 metres above ground. Will need climbing assistance to reach it.
Gotcha. Drive past this place all the time finally drove in and got the cache today. Definitely needed to tippy toes!!!! TFTC
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.
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.

14 July 2013 15:24:36 As the ground was a little damp we drove by and sent sb8 who after looking high located the cache down low on the ground. After signing the log the cache was returned a little higher off the ground till what we found it.

Found[Time to Find: 4 min] Decided to venture out a bit further from Deloraine to clear up a few caches nearby. This was an easy find. thanks for bringing me here.
This was our 1st cache find in the caching run & we found it at 13:46
So this now makes our total find count 6119.
[blue]
Time is running out. We leave the Launceston area in a few days, and there's still heaps of caches to find.
We found the cache on the ground. (Why not just change the hint and let it stay there?)
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Under 2 metres)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks Samsandyjessnat for the hunt today.

Nice easy find thanks. Found on the ground again. This trip to Tasmania going anticlockwise from Devonport is our third trip and the first in our motorhome. This is another cache, there will be many more, hopefully.

Found this one lying on the ground when we arrived we found a likely spot to put it after signing tftc
Cache was laying on the ground again. Also teeth marks on lid! Replaced back in tree. TFTC.
Found on our drive from Launceston to Stanley. Found the container on the ground but counldn't see a secure spot higher up to return it to. Left at base of tree.
No activity in this location today made for an easy search. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. TFTC Samsandyjessnat.
it had fallen out again, maybe some member of the wildlife community has taken offense to it. tftc
Many thanks to Samsandyjessnat,
