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.

I went back as I did not want to be defeated. There was a chai. Stuck in the top tube going to the left but once freed there was nothing at the end. I must admit I am a little new at this though
Found at 5:10pm, while overnighting in Nhulunbuy on a cruise from Broome to Cairns.
thanks Shimmerport
thanks Shimmerport
This is the third historical gun I have found a geocache on across my travels and the hides have all been very different. Fun sneaky cache, loved it. Tftc 
I have never seen such a small tube. Glad I had some previous finders to reference otherwise may have been here for a very long time!
Found on a wintery dry season morning dodging showers. Very cleverly camoflaged. TFTC
I found my first Gove cache yesterday and as I am here for a few weeks I thought that I would ration them... no such luck. I did another 2 today. This was the first an what a great hide. I thought that I would never find it but then there it was. TFTC.
Wow. This was a troublesome cache. If not for the previous comments there would be no way of me finding it.
TFTC, this is quite a pretty town.

Found it! Yeah! I hate looking for caches on cannons! The last time I looked for a cache on a cannon I found a giant huntsman and a red back! Thank you to the previous finder for the clue, this was a quick find after following the links! TFTC SL Now its back to Darwin! 
We're staying with friends in Yirrkala for a few days. We've been super excited about collecting the caches in Nhulunbuy and was over the moon to find some new ones have been set up. Thanks for setting up. Found with Plenihimun.
Almost gave up on this one. Plenihimun continued and followed the chain. Troublesome cache indeed.
