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:

An easy drive by cache for you to enjoy. There is a monument at GZ that further explains the process of mullenising

In the 1870s, South Australian farmer Charles Mullen developed land-clearing method, known as Mullenising. Mullen's land near Wasleys, north of Adelaide, was covered in deep-rooted mallee (a type of dwarf eucalyptus) scrub, as was much land in South Australia. In order to clear the land, Mullen rolled an old boiler over the low mallee (taller trees still had to be cut down by axe). The remaining scrub was left to dry out, then burnt. Following the burning, he rolled a spiked log (a mulleniser) over the land to break up the soil and then sowed his wheat. After the wheat had been harvested the stubble was burnt; this removed any mallee shoots and cleared any loose roots. Mullenising was used extensively in Australia and in other parts of the world.
