Unfortunately, I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.
Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

### **A TIMELY REMINDER** ###
### (CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED) ###
----------
Thank you for temporarily disabling this cache for maintenance - it is appreciated. However, I've noticed that it has been disabled for a while now . . . . . . . somewhat more than the few weeks suggested in the [**Guidelines,**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#maint) so it's time for me to take some kind of action. I wish I didn't have to, but others are probably wanting to know what's going on with this cache.
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list.
- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.
- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.
- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look, it is likely that I will, unfortunately, Archive the cache. Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then.
Please don't send me an email but instead follow the advice posted above.

This cache has been removed a couple of times now and TeamMVB needs to find a new location that is less vulnerable to being muggled
Second DNF for the day - but again could be there. Hadn’t read previous logs so thought it would be fine. Lots of holes and lots of leaves but limited time so onwards and upwards - TFTC
Cache container and new logbook put in place today - no wonder they call these australia's autumn trees - deep litter of fallen leaves under the tree today
looked all round, but with the amount of leaf fall around i could've been standing on it without knowing! maybe next time
Ended our walk with a dnf unfortunately. Had a good look in the obvious spots and read the hint, however no luck.
Decided to phone a friend and still no good.
Not sure if kids or a geocacher been here previously but plenty of rusty goodies and rocks dug up and strewn around. But no cache for us today.
A beautiful tree though. Cheers

First one for a new geocacher and a lovely afternoon for a walk with the geokids and geodog. TFTC
#3 on our walk with MVBC - what a great tree, one of the biggest I've seen.... TFTC
We decided to take the dogs for a walk on this lovely day. It had been awhile since we had been here. We noticed there were a couple of caches near by and decided to find them. What an amazing tree. Lovely spot for a cache. The dogs enjoyed exploring for the cache as well.
Long overdue to catch up on my logging, have had some issues with my field notes.
I found this with Shelley0 while taking the geodog for a walk.
So many great views up here, our thanks to team mvb for bringing us here

#1 on our school holidays baranduda adventure. 1st time wandering around here so we really didn't know what to expect. Had read plenty of interesting logs as new caches popped up that enticed us over to explore. We parked on Margaret court right next to the gate & wandered up past the tree house towards the gully. So green & lush! Spied gz from a distance & the kids + pooches raced ahead to look for the hide! Quick find - thanks for the hint. SL & returned as found. Wasn't sure how many we'd manage this morn as the storm clouds were circling. Kids wanted to plough on so we headed straight up the gully towards the easy walk series. Ended up with 4 for the morning. Thanks for encouraging us to venture over here

Walked right past this one on my way up the hill and didn't even realise it.
Fantastic tree that has stood the test of time. Found and old bottle whilst scratching around for the cache.
TNLN TFTC , cheers.

An assault on Baranduda was the plan for today, with many caches scattered across the area it was always going to be a big day. I decided to get a FTF atop McDonalds hill in West Wodonga first so that added a few more k's to the total. All up I walked 18.7km today and added 1300+ meters in elevation, lots of it steep climbing at Baranduda. A great day bush walking with my GeoDog's, Rosie has been hanging for a big walk like this, and Ellie at 3 months old did exceptionally well (I expected to be carrying her).
This was the first cache on the range today. Quick find.

After completing the "Easywalk" series above on the ranges I walked down from "#4" and met the fire trail in order to attempt this one today.
A nice stroll around the lower contours along the track, then a slight rise up to GZ was all that was required to hopefully achieve my fifth find for the day.
About 150m from GZ I encountered a mob of roos, and with a couple of good-sized greys there I was careful not to upset them too much. They seemed ok with my passing-by fortunately.
At GZ the highlighted Kurrajong was sighted, and it looked out-of-place amongst all the eucalypts but I could see their worth as far as fodder goes.
The clue was a great help, and the cache soon found.
SL at 11am. All good.
Loved all five caches that I found today out at Baranduda. Great hides all. TFTC team mvb.

Found today while breaking in my new Zamberlan Vioz.
This was number 5 for the day. Taking the hard way from all the "easy walk" cache's on to the next gave the boots a good work out, this was no exception.
Many thanks for the neat cache, in a cool location.

Good to see nature overcoming man made constraints. Lovely walk along the lane from Boyes Rd. Thanks for placing.
TFTC. Nice day, GC's enjoyed a quick stroll and search - they beat me to the find!
Just got into the car after doing the City 2 City Run/Walk (more like a stagger) when we got the message about this cache. We looked at where it was, not that far I said to geowife, so after umming and arring we decided to go for it. We arrived at the parking location and looked at where we had to go. My legs were protesting but we pushed on and after arriving at gz and after a short search we had the prize in hand. Log signed. Great location. Will have to come back another day (when the legs have had a rest) to do the others in the area.
