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:

This Entry Statement was unveiled by MR SHANE HILL, JP MLA in the PRESENCE of CR ROBYN PARSONS JP, Shire President on 5 September 2005 and was jointly funded by the Midwest development Commission and the Shire of Irwin.

This industry, which has been developed over the last 60 years, is one of the world's few recognised sustainable "wild fisheries" and Australia's most valuable single species fishery.
The rock lobster season runs from mid-November to the end of June. There are 611 boats operating, each carrying an average of 100 pots. About one-half of the total WA catch of approximately 10 million kilograms is caught along the Irwin and Greenough coastline and at the Abrolhos Islands. The fishing harbour at Port Denison is home to about 70 boats during the season. In addition, many craft operate from the small bays south of Port Denison.
The rock lobster is either exported live or processed as a whole, cooked lobster or lobster tails. The major export markets are Asia and the United States. The rock lobster processing plant in Dongara was operated by MG Kailis (1962) Pty Ltd. The factory has now closed. It operated at the Brady Road site since 1959 and was rebuilt in 1997 in order to accommodate the expanding live rock lobster export trade. MG Kailis Pty Ltd constructed the new state-of-the-art "live" rock lobster processing facility on the foreshore of the Port Denison marina and it was officially opened in 2002. This is now operated by Geraldton Fishermens Co-op.
Rock lobster are available for purchase from the local supermarkets in Dongara and are also on the menu at local restaurants.
