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:

Fourth in the 'Stinks' series placed around my home area. Finders of the other caches will know what to look for but this could be a difficult hide if you haven't found the others. No offence to Wasleys intended! Micro so please bring your own writing stick. Please do not leave any log entries that will spoil this for others.

Wasleys is a hamlet located north west of Gawler, South Australia. It is home to around 300 people, with 850 people living in postcode 5400 area. Roseworthy College is located around 6 km south of the town.
The town of Wasleys was established in an area known as the Mudla Wirra Forest. The name Mudla Wirra is aboriginal, Mudla meaning "implement" and Wirra meaning "forest". The town of Wasleys is now situated on an area first known as "Ridleyton" which was named after John Ridley, who laid out the village of Ridley in 1873. In 1869, the railway line was extended through the region and a railway station was erected on the land purchased by Josiah Wasley, one of the first settlers to the area.[citation needed]
The township was advertised to attract people seeking good agricultural land as "Ridly Township - Wasleys Station". In time two townships were announced and called Ridleyton and Wasley. As the towns grew the name Ridleyton was discarded and the town became known as Wasleys.
Early settlers soon made their mark on the history of the region. In 1843, John Ridley revolutionised the agricultural industry with the first "stripper machine". This machine stripped crops quickly and cheaply with the minimum of labour.
In the 1860s, a local farmer named Charles Mullen created a method of ploughing which was known as "Mullenising". Mullen invented an implement, used throughout Australia, which was the precursor of the stump-jump plough.
During 1866-1877, pioneer farmer Richard Marshall succeeded in solving the "red dust" problem in wheat by crossbreeding various wheat varieties and improved soil conditions using bone meal on the land. After good crop returns, a student at Roseworthy College named Charles Deland, led a campaign in favour of fertilizer.
On 12 April 1970 a bus collided with a passenger train [92] near Wasleys killing 17 people and injuring 45.
Wasleys became a thriving centre and once operated three chaff mills. Although the chaff mills have ceased operating, the town is still a focal point for agriculture and farming livestock, and as reported in The Bunyip on 27 September 1873, "There can be no questions that this is an excellent locality for a township". 85% of all residents were born in Australia, 10% in the UK, and the remaining 5% in other countries
