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
Went out for a second look, loads of DNF’s in recent months........could CO please check or archive? Thanks
Looked in all the obvious spots but GPS was jumping around. Will be back to try again another day.
Can CO please check this cache. GPS had us quite off the track in a logical spot but nothing to be seen. A number of DNF’s recently.
Having spent the morning walking around Point Peron followed by lunch, we then came on to do this circular walk. The view and birdlife were amazing but we had 4 DNFs and 5 finds - not a good ratio.
We searched for a long time here. We found a bag on the ground that said Bettyboo swag but no container or logsheet.

Very hard to do in summer as there are snakes. Looked everywhere and couldn’t find it. Think a very good hint is needed!
Had a limited amount of time in which to do a lap of the lake so I couldn't spend too long on this one. Found a cool frog though 
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
Great hiding place - no pen so unable to sign. Will return and make the necessary mark!

Thanks for the hide. Enjoying the walk around the lake. Nice variety of caches in beautiful scenery.
Found whilst in Rockingham at the WAGB event with Spatial Riq.
Many thanks.

Talking away as we walked and overshort this one. Backtracked then once in the correct side of the creek, found & signed. Hungry locals here - should have brought the spray. TFTC
Easier find. Very interesting information around the lake. Surprised to see local development so close to the critically endangered thromatolites! Thanks for bringing us here.

Find 21 of 31 with 2 DNFs on a bike ride around Rocko as part of WAGB2017. An excellent day out and a well-organised event.
Enjoyed the more daring creek crossing to this one. Took a minute to locate. TFTC KrabiBoy

It was a lovely day, at wa goes big 2017, picking up caches while in town. Thanks to everyone for putting in the time and effort. Tftc sl tnln.
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.
This was find number 12 of 23 for the day for me. TFTC KrabiBoy!

Day Six of our holiday in Western Oz..
Bettyboo3747 and I have spent our day in Rockingham walking around doing some very scenic caches. Lake Richmond in the morning, and Point Peron after lunch.
A brand new container! Piked out on crossing here, we went via the newer bridge.
Thanks, Robmc.

#12584. Day 6 of our WA holiday - Our first full day in Rockingham. After gathering some supplies we took the geo-chariot to Lake Richmond and walked the walk. After lunch we went to Cape Peron where we admired the scenery and gathered up a few more caches. Not a wholly successful day, having 5 DNF's, however I added a smilie to a 2002 cache and we found a couple of ammo tin hides and I discovered a painted rock.
We did not walk the planks to cross to the other side but used the new bridge and made our way back. Spied the nice new container and was excited to see one of your pathtags inside. Well, it isn't there any more! I have left one of my bicycle pathtags and a small pack of origami envelopes as SWAG for a future finder. The birds were trilling very pretty along this section in the shade.
Thanks KrabiBoy

A beautiful day to walk the dogs so brought everyone down to perform maintenance on this series. I needed to replace the whole cache here, this one is back in play once more.
S, T, 3K and 1D out today - GeodogJ slipped her lead and did a runner so we got more exercise than planned haha.
Had a lot of fun in this area but sadly no cache found - we will be back

Found while walking the geo pups. Griffinsworld had to do the finding for this one as I was a little restricted with the pups going crazy wanting to smell everything. It was in good condition.
If Mirthn had logged his message on my hide site it would have been deleted don't see the need for that with my kids wanting to play this game. Pity that cachet has limited vocabulary pity his kids and family.. thanks for the hide was found out on the open so tucked it away

Absolutely nothing wrong with this cache, dry in one piece someone has just torn the log sheet into 5pieces. Krabiboy feel free to remove the needs maintenance tag on this one. I have added a log book and copied over the Code. (As payment for the advice the other day )
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

Mortimer and I put something like a logbook in it... A paper with an explanation for aboriginal symbols for others to use like a logbook before maintenance.
Cache grabbed with Mortimer 57 during our fantastic 3 weeks trip in Western Australia. Thank you to all the owners for their great job. We had a lot of fun to do Geocaching in your country !
Greetings from France!

Nice walk around the lake with Emjuma57! We had a lot of fun geocaching in the area! Thanks to the owner, and greetings from France!
Found it but we discovered that it had been recently muggled. We collected as much of its contents as we could as they were strewn all over GZ and in the creek. We rehid right where the coords suggested as we found the container parts in the creek (away from GZ) next to the goon bag 
Fortunately the number code was found so the GC is still ok and useable, but I deffo recommend CO come on out and have a quick look as it could do with a new log.
#131

Found by Mary & David, in convoy with Alansee and micaparamedic (logged as ACMPMM), at 1430. Really enjoyed the walk and the two bridges. Our thanks to KrabiBoy.
