Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

Geocache Description:

Located at the site of the Moodiarup Hall in the Shire of West Arthur. This is a traditional cache set up to mark the 40th birthday of a friend (kcsun71).

The hall sits close to the banks of the Arthur River and a short drive from the popular picnic and water ski spot at Lake Towerrining.

The cache is a plastic sistema container and has a number of items set up as a family friendly cache. Lots of Little Bo Peep's sheep have been lost. If you are quick you may find some here. Be sure to leave some for others to find.

The townsite of Moodiarrup is located in the great southern agricultural region, 236 km south east of Perth and 35 km south of Darkan. The townsite was gazetted in 1909, spelt Mudiarrup, to conform with the Royal Geographical Society's system of orthography. In 1956 residents of the area requested the spelling be amended to Moodiarrup, a spelling more appropriate to the correct pronunciation. The change of spelling was gazetted in 1957. Moodiarrup is an Aboriginal word, first recorded by a surveyor in 1871.

Moodiarrup Hall was once the heart of the Moodiarrup community; it was a place for celebrations, meetings and sporting events, including the famous Moodiarrup Marathon.

The hall is set on a 31-hectare reserve, next to Arthur River. Constructed in 1925 by Ted Nordstom and TV Williams, it is an excellent example of a local hall from the period. The site’s unique combination of built, natural and cultural heritage values has resulted in its listing on the Shire of West Arthur Municipal Inventory and recognition as an Aboriginal Heritage site.

Be sure to check out the level of the flood in 1982.
