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:

This small historical parkland is a link with the European settlement of Burnie, being the site where architect and surveyor Henry Hellyer camped on May 8, 1827 on his visit to Emu Bay, prior to the establishment five months later (October 9, 1827) of a township by the Van Diemen's Land Company. This event is symbolised by a slender column of pink granite, and a plaque unveiled in the sesquicentenary year 1977.


The park is a 0.5km walk from the City centre (Post Office) and features picnic seating and tables, playground equipment, a fountain and sundial.

The park was named after a house known as 'Oakleigh' built for the Van Diemen's Land Company's Emu Bay overseer. It stood near the area from the early 1840's until it was demolished in 1962.

Container has log only please bring your own pen.
