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.
If a cache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance, it will not be unarchived.

This Conservation Park was proclaimed in 1987 to protect the habitat of the Glossy Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami), a sub species found only on Kangaroo Island. The Northern sector of the Park includes the Deep Gully Creek and drainage system which contains large areas of Drooping Sheoak habitat. Glossy Black's only eat the seed pods of the Casuarina (or Sheoak) tree, and they are the only living creature to eat that particular seed pod. Observers have noticed that while eating the pods, they always hold the pod in their left claw, and always turn it towards them in exactly the same way. Have a look on the ground for evidence of a layer of cracked cones and fragments accumulated underneath the Sheoak trees - this will be a good indication that there may be some birds in the area. They prefer to nest in the hollows of large, old eucalypt trees, alive or dead. The typical nest site will be around 3-30 metres above the ground. You will notice a man-made nesting box in a tree near the Sugargum Creek Waypoint.
It is very likely you will encounter Wallabies grazing, and if you are lucky, you may spot an echidna or a koala.
There are no marked trails in this park, so use the extra waypoints given to take yourself on a pleasant loop of less than 2kms. After leaving the parking point, the waypoints should be done in the following order:- 1. Ravine, 2. GZ (the cache itself), 3. Sugargum Creek, 4. Dam, 5. Priv Prop Sign, 6. Track, then return to the parking area. Please take care on KI roads, many are unsealed and be especially careful at dusk/dawn/nighttime as the wildlife is abundant and often on the roads. Also be aware that there are tiger snakes on the island, no need to be alarmed but please be sensible.
