Lake Richmond Roam - Finale Rockingham, Western Australia, Australia
By KrabiBoy on 20-Dec-11. Waypoint GC39EHX

Decided it was time to focus my maintenance efforts on a few good caches rather than lots of average caches. The Lake Richmond series has had a good run, but all good things must come to an end. Container will be removed

Found it but the contents inside are spread across the floor

Sad to see bunch of trinkets in the bush but no log book or container

TFTC! Out for a few quick finds with Jackyboy27 on a beautiful spring day in Rocky.
Sad we didnt find the log but great fun anyways

We did find where the cache was supposed to be but sadly the cache is missing, the contents were strewn on the ground. We couldn’t see the log anywhere though. Will be in touch with the CO. A disappointing end to a nice walk around Richmond Lake. Thanks for the series, we will be back to find the 2 DNFs another day.

We attempted this series quite a few years ago and had the alpha numeric values stored in the phone. Not sure how we came to have all of the values as the app was telling us we hadn't found a few of the caches. So we went for another roam to find the ones we hadn't already found.

We have now logged this one as found rather than 'write note'.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Happy geokids TFTC

Happy Camper. TFTC

Very fun, two day event to find all of these. TFTH

Having worked out the coordinates it was a very quick find today. TFTC

This is the 2nd mystery cache we have found. What a beautiful day for a walk around the lake. Thanks for the caches!

A few hours in the afternoon to kill and the weather was perfect for walking, so I decided to do the trek around Lake Richmond. All caches were found relatively easily, except for Number Seven which continues to be elusive. Loved the variety of containers and I so glad that I made the visit today. TFTC KrabiBoy

Nice hide

After finding the last of the caches in this series, we headed tothe town for some lunch. Very grateful for the cache description as mostly forgot or couldn’t find any numbers in most caches. Worked out the final and after a delicious lunch at Dome, came back out to clean up. Found cache without drama. Great little series here. Tftc, Krabi Boy. A fave

Awesome find

Thanks for the find!

A nice walk around the lake in the morning. TFTC

Day 2 of WAGB 17 so let's get a few caches with m4yb.
Yay the final. Nice to get this one after all those years, thanks for the maintenance. Worth a fav for the container and the lovely bike ride.
Thanks for the smiley Krabiboy

Finally a smiley here! Came back before attending the second day of WAGB activities, redeemed the 2 DNF's and to the final at last.
Thanks for this good size cache, adopting and maintaining this series, KrabiBoy!

After attending the WAGB2017 event, we went in search of more caches in and around Rockingham. Hubby had gathered most of the numbers needed to work out the co-ords for this final yesterday. We have re-visited the area to find a few more and this final. Quick find and great to see such a large cache. Logbook signed and cache returned to its hide. Great series and lovely location.

TFTC KrabiBoy. Found on 10 September 2017.

Found whilst in Rockingham at the WAGB event with Spatial Riq.

Many thanks.

Cheers

Information all gathered and final co ords calculated. A lovely little series deserving of a fave.
TFTC KrabiBoy this is find # 3251 for us.

Nice to find a big cache once in a while. Completed the series while here for WA Goes Big. TFTC Krabiboy

Thankyou for the trip around the lake

Out with mcfonz for some afternoon geocaching. Impromptu lap around the lake. Managed to get the final coords and didn't take long to find this one. Great series, have a fav point ... and thanks for replacing them. TFTC

Awesome thanks

Picked up traceable that hasn't been logged

A great walk. Thanks for the adventure

Yey series completed tftc

Cool cache.

Find 27 of 31 with 2 DNFs on a bike ride around Rocko as part of WAGB2017. An excellent day out and a well-organised event.

Bit puzzled by the descriptions of the caches in the series but worked out what was going on eventually and located the info for the finale and quickly found the tin itself. TFTC KrabiBoy

Nice big one to finish the series we enjoyed the walk around the lake. Out enjoying the sun and finding a few caches around Rockingham during the WAGB event. Made over double digits between attending sessions and socialising so happy with our efforts. Always good to explore new ground.

Day Eight of our holiday in Western Oz. The day of the BIG Event..
Bettyboo3747 and I have spent our day in Rockingham between attending event sessions and collecting varying types of caches.

We did not find this cache the other day when we did the series as there were all new logs with no codes on them.
Over the event dinner we spoke with some who had found it today, and they told us where to find the information.
A good sized cache, but maybe the cache descriptions could be altered wrt the clues.
Thanks, Robmc.

Quite the gathering at GZ this afternoon. Nice to see a decent sized container at the end of this Series. Just watch out for the used syringes near the cache, we removed the ones we could see but there may be more in the leaf litter. TFTC

#12631. Day 8 of our WA holiday and our 3rd day in Rockingham. The week-end has arrived and that means WA Goes BIG in 2017. Robmc and I spent the day gathering up an assortment of caches nearby.

Once more after discussion over dinner with people who had signed off on this earlier today we explained our problem of finding all the caches yesterday but not the clues required for the Finale and wondered how they had managed to do it. After hearing what they had to say we made our way back to an area we had been searching blind in yesterday and soon had the Finale to hand. Close to where we searched yesterday but obviously not close enough. Our names are now on the log sheet.

Thanks KrabiBoy

A weekend away with SEMIK and Phoenix Flare so we could attend WA Goes Big 2017, and what an amazing weekend we had. The location was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed many of the quality caches that had been placed in the immediate area!

Having wandered down the coastline for a bit, we opted to walk the Lake Richmond circle. Again, some amazing views were enjoyed by the team, and a mostly successful hunt. Having found all but one of the caches, and calculated the GZ, we made short work of this one. We also found a disposed needle at GZ, so future finders please be careful.

This was find number 18 of 23 for the day for me. TFTC KrabiBoy!

Was proud to represent SA with RideTheGeoWalrus and SEMIK during WAGB with beautiful sunny weather keeping us going.

TFTC

A beautiful day to walk the dogs so brought everyone down to perform maintenance on this series. Checked on this one and all good.

Not 100% sure I am logging the right cache - found a cache basically halfway between our DNF at stop #7 on the Richmond Roam and where we were parked. Noticed what looked to be a track off to the side and K#2 decided to explore and shouted 'CACHE' within seconds. Opened, signed the log, made a swap and replaced the cache as found.
We could not read what was written on the outside but given the ammocan and positioning we deduced that this cache was the finale. Thank you for the series and we will be back to finish and locate #3 & #7 sometime soon

On a walk around the lake with the Geopartner Itskate this morning waiting for the ships to open. A pleasant walk around thanks for brining us here

Took two visits to complete the series but it's such a nice walk around the lake I'm not complaining Also managed to miss a bonus number somehow - doh - but some geo-pokery with the coords I did have suggested a couple of likely places for the bonus. Back out today to investigate and luckily my first hunch proved correct A looping series is my favourite caching walk, but there doesn't seem to be many of them here in Perth. In the U.K. they are very common, whereas here it's more standalone hides? Not sure why. Anyhow, after a stroll along to GZ and a timely duck off the path and I soon spotted a suspiciously camouflaged hidey hole - and bingo, there it was Always great to find an ammo can too So many reasons to give this series a fave point, and one is definitely coming your way. TFTC and thanks for the series as a whole, great stuff (edit: picked up trackable, just waiting for it to be logged into the cache)

Hi KrabiBoy I’m happy to record that I’ve found your Lake Richmond Roam – Finale. To the master of Lake Richmond Roam, a favourite point is indeed due [^]! TNLN SL TFTH.

Got it along with a coin collector who as happy with the swap. Dropped trackable

TFTC. 6 yo swapped and I left some swappables.

Out caching with bech we found your cache cheers

Fernweh*

Thanks for the series.

Found the final cache! Are we the only ones who couldn't find the code for C? Doesn't matter too much with the final outcome but just curious. Grabbed a trackable to take on holidays with me soon! TFTC and TFT series KrabiBoy!

Great series! Nice finds all around the lake!!

TFTC

Great series with a cool find at the end! Thank you KrabiBoy for the hides and the ammo can at the end, we have awarded a fave point for a great series which was simple, fun, diverse, and which may even have recruited some local muggles (my sister's kids) into the game as they were very interested and excited by this morning's events. Now that the series has been recently maintained by CO I hope it can remain muggle free for more folks like us to stumble upon. Great location and nice idea for a series.
#137

We dropped 2x TBs which have come from the east. Please people: log them if you lift them!

Having tried this series before it was good to be able to finish it all off today.

I want to say thank-you to KrabiBoy who kindly helped me with the coordinates for the final a few weeks ago, I waited until now to complete so I would have a full set of smileys for the series.

Left a small green counter with my name on it, TFTC.

Out with cj_252 he said where it would be and I made the find

I have been looking at this little series for a while, and seeing the CO doing maintenance was just the motivation I needed to get off my backside and do it! All caches found bar one, and I had a great time. A fav from me. TFTC

Out on a maintenance day around the lake, washed out the container here and replaced logbook and swag as the old stuff was wet and disgusting. Good to go again.

Loved this series.
TFTC KrabiBoy

Tftc Cheers

Very happy to finally have this series done and dusted! Started it in the dark and finished it that way too. As beautiful as Lake Richmond is during the day, I enjoy it even more when there is frog song and the night orchestra to accompany the walk. Thanks for a great series!

Out with a mate today and got told I should try this little series out. Found with no worries at all TFTC. Thanks for this series around the lake I really enjoyed it

A lovely evening walking around the lake to finish this series off...and get to 10000 steps on the fitbit Thanks

It was nice to finish this series and tick it off our list. Finding where it looked to be, we had to wait for cars and muggles to clear before ducking in. A nice stash we added to for the kiddies and a great series thanks to KrabiBoy!!

With all the clues in hand we quickly keyed in the final co-ordinates and it wasn't far from where we were. Waiting casually for cars and cyclists to pass we took a step in. Can't believe where it was hidden, not remotely visible from the path, but nice and easy to find. Such a joy to now have all smilies around the lake. Thanks to all those involved in creating and maintaining the series. TFTC

TFTC! With the wife on a 'girls night' I decided to play chauffeur and pickup caches in the surrounding suburbs. Has a great night with 31 finds. Thanks

I have had this series on the radar for a while so decided that even though it was night time I could still grab them all as park n grabs instead of the walk. Found all relatively quickly. Took a long walk to try to see the thrombolities between 2 and 3 but couldn't see much in the darkness. Great series. Add a favourite.

Found this one with Leega & the Geodog. We were one number short but still found it pretty quickly. TFTC & series KrabiBoy

Found with axell33 and geodog. Even with an awol number we managed to find it pretty quickly. This was a great walk that Ive wanted to do (each time I went passed the lake). Geodog looking for the car at this point in time. Thank you for the series.

Originally logged under family name of clan-wallace now slowly transitioning to new name

Got it....& my daily exercise.TFTC

Caching down in Rockingham on this perfect Sunday with the geo-girlfriend.
Walked around the lake and found all pieces of the series except number 2, so without having B we had to guess the final coordinates. Fortunately after looking at the map I narrowed the search down to 3 numbers, and we found the cache at the second location we tried.
Thanks for putting this nice series together.

TFTF! Missed number 4 but assumed the finale would be between 7 and 1 and Bingo! After a second look in an obvious spot we found it

Wileyclan's Richmond Roam - Finale was transferred from Kyzabra to user KrabiBoy

Found all of the required info from the caches (except for C - just used a random number), and plugged the coords into the gps. The coords were spot on, so must have been a pretty good guess - or just plain luck. Dodged a few muggles driving by and ducked in and made the grab. Nice sized ammo can. Picked up a trackable to continue it's journey. TFTC.

This was a good end to a series of caches. This is also our first Mystery Cache.
TFTC

Geo wife had dragged me down to rockingham to collect some wonderful cane pot plant stands off gumtree. The trade off was that I could do some caching as well. So the wileyclan's Richmond Rome was the destination.

Off we went around the lake we the geo family collecting the clues and enjoying the views.

With striking out at stop 7 in the circuit. The chances off finding the finale looked pretty dim.

We decided to sit down and go through the collected clues and try to scratch out some coordinates anyway, only to find a miss communication between me and the geo wife on one of the stops.

So of we trudged defeated back towards the car

Thinking the finale would be located between stop 7 and 1 the geo son and myself kept an eye out for any likely hiding spot, and on the second spot we struck gold, there she was. The geo kids made a few swaps and I left a nice little fish to be by the water.

A fav point coming your way

Tfts wileyclan

A sneaky peak in the bush.

Decided to do the routine Monday evening walk here instead of the usual Point Peron track so I could add a bit of caching into the walk. TFTC

Took the niece out for a cycle around the lake, finding the caches added to the ride, then a little pic nic in the park watching the pelicans on the lake. TFTC.

Doing some nearby maintenance so dropped by and checked on this.
Grabbed the TBs to continue their journies.

I had found this one with my mum before I had my geocaching account... Today whilst out with caching with jasenjanine, Luna Maya, MNS13, justintime13, wondering webbs & EMZ29 my name was added to the logbook TFTC and the series wileyclan & Kyzabra!

I dropped in a tag for the next finder! Enjoy!

Did you know??? Bit of trivia, the intro app does not show puzzle caches.

Luckily there were a couple of GPS units on hand so we were able to make the find. The whole lot of us kids had a great time sorting through the swag. Mum left a tag.
Thanks for the cache and a super fun series! Way more fun on a bike than walking!
A fav point from me.

Another TB drop

Enjoyed the walk around Lake Richmond - what a great series Kyzabra, thanks for adopting it. TBs dropped off ...

Easily found tftc

Great finale, really enjoyed it.

Shackattack

Made an early morning dash to find the final for the series GZ coordinate was spot on so located the cache easily.. Was a bit nervous because 30 mats away was where we spotted the monster tiger snake!! Signed the log and was off to the car with air on full
Thanks for the cache !

All good again. Thanks Wileyclan.

Found at 10:12:00 AM on 18/12/2013

Headed out today to clean up some caches I used to own. I have replaced the logs and containers as required so the new owner can now log an Owner Maintenance and set these caches back in play.


Thanks for the cache Kyzabra

Cheers

Wileyclan's Richmond Roam - Finale was transferred from wileyclan to user Kyzabra

Got to do some work on the series when I get some time

Cheers

I wonder whether the cache has been recently sprung. There didn't seem to be a log book in the huge can yet there were some swaps. Thanks for a great series wileyclan.

GPS lead into the lake

Not finding all the clues made this one impossible. GPS didn't help will have to try again later

Found it today it was just out in the open wide open and in full view from the path, luckily it everything in it was dry so it must have only just been found. We rehid it where we thought it should be so hopefully it will be ok. Thanks for a great series much enjoyed by us all .

After completing all the traditional caches in the series we jumped in the car and plugged in the coords for the final which to our delight was just further up. A really nice series which lead to a fun day of caching, favourite from us. TFTC

We really enjoyed this series as it was family friendly and is very gentle on the environment. When we got to GZ and the cache located geoson was very excited. SL TSLS.

Geoson had this series eyed up for a while and today was the perfect day for it. Took geopup with us and headed out to grab these caches. TFTC wileyclan

After a great walk around this lake that was enjoyed by all, we were soon upon the cache and what a cache it was. Geoson's eyes just about popped out of his head and he was happy to swap some swag. A fantastic series on a great winters day. A well deserved favourite from us.

I had this series eyed up for a while and today was the perfect day for it. Took geopup with us and headed out to grab these caches. TFTC wileyclan

Took Burswood Casino Cards and left pen. A fave from me.

Went out today to do our 600th find - forced family fun day with the kids including team ZnB. This series was added to our list as it looked like a nice walk and seemed fun, and it was - though the Map my Walk clocked it at 4.8Km!!! The caches were all easy finds and it was a race to get to the next location first!!. Loved the Finale, and easy puzzle to figure out.

Thanks so much for a fun morning on a beautiful day!!!

and please excuse my copy and paste logs for these, I am buggered!!! lol.

Cheers
Cassidy Family

Please excuse the copy and paste of these logs, (mum - CassidyFamily is logging them for us) we had a great day out and walk around the lake, a long walk around the lake!!. All were easy finds with a race to find them first. Then a nice quick easy working out of the finale and quick find by B!! PLUS I learnt how to add in the coords for a waypoint - Thanks Mum
