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.

Lionel Samson arrived in the Swan River colony in 1829 with his brother William, and established the partnership L&W Samson, a business that continues today and is one of the longest running family owned business in Australia. Later he returned to England to marry Fanny Levi. Michael their son (Mayor of Fremantle from 1905-1907) built Samson House. He and his family lived in the house for the next two generations. Michael's son Sir Frederick Samson was Fremantle’s longest serving Mayor from 1951-72. Fred lived there with his wife Daphne Marks, until her death in 1953, after which time, Fred’s widowed sister Rita moved in to take on the Mayoress duties.

 

Samson House showcases middle-class, suburban, domestic life in the late colonial period through the twentieth century. Inside are many stories about the history of Fremantle and the State.
