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:


At the end of World War 2 the military airstrips at ‘Caversham’ in the Swan Valley became Western Australia’s first dedicated motor racing circuit and one of the most challenging in Australia. Racing there was intense and included two Australian Grand Prix's(AGP) in 1957 & 1962. Sir Jack Brabham competed in the 1957 AGP.

Military needs resulted in the WA Sporting Car Club , the operators of the circuit, moving to their new home at Wanneroo in 1968.

The land containing the airstrips sat in limbo for many years and by 2006 it was still owned by the Commonwealth Government but ear-marked to be sold to the State Government for housing.
 
Many West Aussies however revered those glorious years and in 2006 some far sighted members of the Veteren Sports Car Club(VSCC) of WA began action to try to preserve something of the venue for history.  Early in 2007 the land was transferred to the State Government who immediately had the area of the race circuit made into a permanent reserve and gave the VSCC of WA the OK to run an event there to commemorate the 50thanniversary of the Australian Grand Prix run on the circuit in 1957.
 
 
Again the response exceeded expectations. On 2nd of September 2007 around 300 classic and historic sports and racing cars roared around the old circuit. The stars were 5 cars [and a replica ] that actually competed in the ’57 AGP. An estimated 4000 odd people came to enjoy the atmosphere and the memories
