4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

Geocache Description:

Be careful of road when leaving township, we parked our car and walked. 4WD will have no problems.

Cache is in camouflaged plastic container with notebook and pencil, and toys for the children.

Jarahwood used to be one of the largest mill towns in the area and the history behind the mill town is worth writing about

"The townsite of Jarrahwood is located in the south west, 36 km south east of Busselton. The town is located in an area of Jarrah forest which was subjected to heavy cutting in the last century. The principal company operating in the area of the townsite was the Jarrah Wood and Sawmills Company Limited, and is from this name that the townsite name is derived. The company also ran a private railway from Jarrahwood to Wonnerup, and this was purchased by the government in 1906. The townsite was gazetted in 1932."

Now there is only 1/2 dozen houses left, but from the machinery and bits and pieces left behind you can see that it was a very busy town which employed up to 200 workers.
