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.

OFH.

Alfred Thomas Harman arrived in Australia in 1885, at the age of 21, following an argument with his father.

A.T Harman's Father was Alfred Hugh Harman, founder of the Ilford film business in Britain.

After a failed farming venture near Melbourne, he used his engineering training to establish a general engineering firm in Port Melbourne making varied products including steam winches and cranes.

In 1920, A.T. Harman & Sons made its first excavator, a rail-mounted unit for the Brisbane City Council. Larger steam-operated dragline excavators were made in the 1920s for the Victorian River & Water Supply Commission.

After surviving the Depression by selling used machinery and developing a patented turbine furnace that burned less fuel, Alfred T. Harman handed control of the firm to his son Alfred H. Harman in 1934. The firm's large equipment was produced almost totally in-house. Harman even designed a diesel engine but this was not put into volume production.
