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Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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).
If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

### **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.

Had a spare day so I picked an area on the map that I have not visited before.
Yan Yean Reservoir Park was a nice spot for a walk.
Parked at the lookout and went off in search of cache.
The container seems to have changed compared to the description as you don’t need a code now.
Thanks amygvsl TFTS TFTC.

Disabling this until I can check. It would appear the container has been stolen and replaced with something else.
Nice to see some caches back in this parkland. This one found very exposed today...rectified on leaving. TFTC
The first of 5 caches found in this park. Lovely spot for a Sunday picnic too. The hides were all imaginative and great fresh new containers in use. Left a tb at this one
Thanks amygvsl
Thanks amygvsl
Another quick visit here to pick up the last 2 caches, which I didn't have time for before,
Good location and cache.
Thanks amygvsi

Our last one here. Loved the container , have never seen one like it.
Thouroughly enjoyed this series, perfect amount of walking too. Parked at the first carpark and did all on foot. Thanks so much for this series and wish there were more to do.
TFTC amygvsl A favourite point too for the interesting container which would not have been cheap.

I planned to walk up to this one but I think the puppy has had enough, so we drove up to the lookout. Good views but I think the views from the cottage were my favourite. Nice cache. Thanks for placing this series. I enjoyed the walk and area and the variety of cache containers. TFTC.
This one has been my most favourite one so far. Thankyou for all the time and effort you have put into your caches.
Awesome hide, always love coming to this area for BBQs etc. Shame that you get a few dodgy cars up this end. Good thing is police seem to patrol the area. Tftc
Six weeks ago my husband and I drove past Yan Yean Reservoir on our way home from a wonderful Queensland holiday. I suggested that we should visit the park one day soon and an extra incentive for my muggle husband was the fact there there were NO geocaches here.
A few weeks later this series of caches were published. 
Today I ventured here alone. It was a cold and foggy day so the views of the reservoir were negligible. I will return another day to enjoy the beauty of this park.
My last cache for today and my favourite.
As my feet were very wet from walking through lots of wet grass I didn't want to linger too long here but stayed long enough to examine this cache and have a giggle about it's initial appearance.

My first find of this type of cache and worth a favorite. Found on a beautiful sunny winters day.
TNSL and left a couple of trinkets for the kids. Dropped of my Pathtag. I am leaving 3 in this series of caches, if you grab one leave the others for other Geocachers. TFTC

Another place I have visited before, and that was for a very cleverly hidden cache as well Thanks for bringing me back here with your novel hide. I’ll give it a favourite.
