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:


Northbourne Oval is North Canberra's earliest enclosed public recreational reserve and has been used continuously since 1925. It is an important place associated with the history of cricket, Rugby League and Australian Rules football in the ACT. It has strong links with the local community, which helped, through voluntary labour, to develop the Oval and surrounds.

The location of the site derives from Walter Burley Griffin's original design for Canberra, and is part of the original symmetrical layout of public open space centred on Northbourne Avenue, counter-balanced by the ANU North Oval in Turner.

Moving firmly into the 21st century, it even has its own facebook page (Northbourne Oval). Feel free to tag yourself as being 'here' if you like.

Stealth is probably not as important as my other Canberra City caches, but please be mindful of nearby residents when searching, especially if attempting the cache at night.
