Camp Q Adventure Trail - Williams Williams, Western Australia, Australia
By roymerc on 24-Apr-15. Waypoint GC5T47J

The roadworks for the new bridge has completely overrun and obliterated the cache and all of its surroundings! No chance of a replacement for a long time!

Day 2 of our geocaching stay in beautiful Boddington .Found easily and admired the cache - well done ! SL TFTC Roymerc - adding to our favourites ! As driver reviver nearby we also scored a free coffee and a nice chat to some locals

Found on a road trip with UMeHedgie. TFTF

On the way to Denmark with Tessplus3 to visit a friend. TFTC

Making a road trip to Albany to pick up our new puppy, decided to tick off some LGA's on the way.

Local cricket was under way as we made a stop here but, didn't let that stop us. Camo was identified some distance off, so a quick retrieval was made.

TFTC roymerc.

Last cache for the day found as the sun was setting. Crafty hide

Found on the way to our week's break in Albany for the Valentine's Croquet competition. Great hide. We enjoy this type of cache. TFTH.

Good to be back in the heat of Western Australia.

We chose the Albany Hwy as the shortest comnection to get from Fremantle to Denmark. This was our first real break during the trip (actually we even had two stops in Williams but the first one was a police stop ). Nice hide - thanks!

We spend a few weeks in WA and were travelling along the coast. During that, we did some geocaches, and also this one. It's always a great way to see something from the country beside touristic attractions So thank you for showing us a new place, we would't have visit without the Cache!

During a few weeks of vacation, this cache could be found. Greetings from Germany

Found this one a while ago with pood and forgot to log tftf

Found it. Thought it would be missing due to clearing in the area but it was there! Great camo. TFTC

I can’t believe my eyes

Passed here on my way home and noticed that all the trees had been removed at GZ. Geocache is still in place though so all good.

Very creatively hidden it took me a wile to find it tho

Quick find on stop to Albany

Found after stopping for a quick coffee at the petrol station. Wonderful little cache.

Nice quick find on a recent trip to WA from NZ...cheers V.

Out for a day of caching with MissNerdBerger to grab a few caches to complete some goals that I had set myself for this year, to get 100 finds in a day and complete the year with a least 365 caches.

The day started a little later than expected and after being collected by MNB we started the drive down towards Williams to complete some more of the LGA series that we started just after they got published.

After stopping off for a couple of the Australian Bushrangers series on the drive down we quickly got into a groove collecting the LGA caches. Our morning was quite successful collecting 68 finds, I had a good chat to a farmer who although not a cacher himself was familiar with the activity and mentioned possibly getting into it when he finds some more spare time. With fuel getting a little low and bellies the same we headed into Williams for lunch.

A quick drive south to grab a couple of golden ammo cans and we were back in LGA country and working to the 100 caches in a day goal. Although there was still daylight available to us we made the decision to grab find 100 and start heading back home, after doing the math we still have just over 400 LGA caches to get.

All in all, it was a great day and I was able to get my 365th find for the year with our 30th find (LGA Cunderdin WA), passed 800 total caches (Thomas and John Clarke – Australian Bushranger) and hit triple figures for the day (LGA Bunbury WA)

Thanks to all the CO’s for placing the caches and MNB for joining me.

Annual trip to Albany, nice quick find after the WC break

TFTC. The last one for our roymerc trip down south. Thanks for giving us a great trip

pug002 found it 11/11/2017. On our trek to do the LGA trail. Checked into Caravan Park, very pleasant helpful lady. Decided we would knock this one off tonight as we really are having roymerc withdrawals. As usual well crafted roymerc Cache. TFTC roymerc fav from us

Bags laden with 9V batteries as we head south. Busy spot on a Saturday morning but cache an easy grab as you walk by. Would be a pretty spot with more water under the bridge. TFTC.

Well disguised

Love the camo - hiding in plain sight. Found w robcuth on our way back to Perth from greens pool

Our first one! thanks that was a fun way 2 work off lunch

Quick find, no muggles around. SL.

Nice cache. Easy to retrieve as a muggle won't know what to look for haha. Tftc

Quick easy find. Love the disguise! Tftc

Easy find sl left a earing tftc

What a great find! Was rather quick and easy but was marvelled on how well it was hidden, would've definitely stumped some others! We are now on 101 finds!

Clever construction here but as you said, the trained Geoeye would know what sort of thing to look for here. Great call. Tftc (curse the mobile phone auto correct), roymerc.

Caching our way slowly from Mandurah to Woodanilling to visit friends for the weekend to watch the grand finals, eat, drink and perhaps get a ski - if its not too cold. Should be a good weekend.

A nice hide which we managed to find sign and replace, despite the nearby muggle family enjoying a picnic.
A favorite point for the hide design .

Thanks for the cache roymerc [^] - we made the find and the cache was in good order and the log dry .

This was find # 1 of 8 and 0 today giving us a total cache count of 3438.

Great driver reviver on our way down south..plenty of company around..but we were very subtle..cache and log in good condition..tftc

I found it. My first one. Very well hidden!

Nice hide!

#13449. Day 20 of our WA holiday and our last caching day here as we fly home tomorrow.

This morning Robmc and I went out once more to finish off the LGA Series. Once that was done we started to round up the outstanding caches along the Albany Highway and around Williams itself.

The weather was not at all kind to us today, howling winds, slashing rain and gutters running deeply along the roadside. Eventually, we beat a retreat to the warmth of the Woolshed for lunch and internet access before continuing on to find a few more.

With our senses fairly well attuned to a roymerc cache we did indeed have no trouble in zeroing in on this one. Another great, blatant and bold hide but easy to those in the know. Cheers.

Thanks roymercs

Day Twenty of our holiday in Western Oz.
Bettyboo3747 and I loitered around Quindanning, and we did a few more of the LGA series, again!
A very variable day with howling winds, pissing rain to bright sunshine, several times!
The road, although wet, was still fine for 2WD.
Our last day on the LGA series. We just completed a short string of NSW that we had previously missed., and a few caches around Williams (where we had lunch at the Woolshed)

Fortunately, the Driver/Survivor caravan wasn't in business today, so the park was quiet.
Great co-ordinates, and an interesting hide made it a quick retrieval today.
Thanks, Robmc.

On our way to Denmark (with a pocket full of batteries) we did the odd cache here and there, an these are it , we have done some good caching , but please Skymonkey do some maintainance !!! as it is a sad waste to pull up and not find a cache
with our grumble finished we had a great time in and out of our rolling turd rv, not quite the vehicle for the job one might think ! lol lol
Thanx to all CO's for the fun, cheers from the Routers

Took a drive up from Narrogin today to have a look around and to find the of cache. Another quick find for the morning. TFTC.

A great hide

Well done!

All good. Thank you. Clever

TFTC neat hide cheers

2nd find

Ooops, just remembered that we failed to log this cache from after my Munda Biddi ride in July. We enjoyed the opportunity to stop off for a break and grab this nice wee Smiley. Thanks for another great hide roymerc.

On our way down to Albany with &others to visit my daughter. Pulled over to check this well made placed cache. Excellent. Thanks for the cache. Nice park for the kids

Out and about with Kyzabra today chasing up a few smileys, had our eye on a couple lonely caches here and there as well. Pleased to report that we had a 100% success rate.

Just had to stop in here for a look at one of the legendry constructions by the CO. Spotted what must be the cache straight after arriving at GZ. Another very clever construction, awarding a favourite.

roymerc I found your cache at 11:29am, this was the 7th of 9 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 4068. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

Williams today as a drive. On way to Narrogin to look at cemetery for old relative. John Spouse. Tftc

Nice river tftc

Stopped in at the park for lunch checked the app on the phone to see if there were any caches nearby seen that this was only 20m away thought id grab it to get another smiley. TFTC

Yay so hard! !!!!

Sneaky hiding spot!

Yet another clever cache! Stopped for a break on our way back to albany, an easy spot for someone with a caching eye! Thanks for the hide!!

First find on our way to Albany. Great hide.

Great cache! Easy enough to find. New log and all in good condition. Thanks for the hide!

Monts and I found this cache on the second stage of our trip across Australia, which is a trip to Denmark to do some roymerc caches. I've attached a photo of Monts refusing to get out of the car for this one, so you can look out for us when we reach Denmark Thank you for bringing me to this location. TFTC roymerc

Thanks for number 2 of camp q trail

The drive from Mandurah to Kojonup ticked all the boxes for us today. Clean, dry, cleverly hidden caches, such as this one, history lessons and interesting locations.

Nicely constructed hide, so left a FP here, in anticipation of more fun in Denmark.

Thanks roymerc for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Neat little camo On the way to Perth to drop of the daughter and grandkids on their way back to Nz. Had to do a playground stop TFTC

My muggle friend's and my roadtrip were soon coming to an end. Driving back to Perth from Albany, we had a quick toilet stop here. How pleased was I to find out there was a geocache so close by. And a good one, too!
Thanks a lot for the hide, roymerc!

Hi there roymerc.

We found your cache **"Camp Q Adventure Trail - Williams"** at 12:54:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 15572).

We started the day off by moving our caravan to Williams. Then we spent the afternoon traveling up and down the Albany Highway logging 'caches.. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

We found 21 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

After more than five years of being taunted and teased by my workmates about geocaching, it was a big surprise when one of them agreed to come on a road trip with me. She needed to get away and I needed to pick up just 5 more LGAs as well as find the cache closest to my centroid to qualify for a challenge cache over in Victoria. My centroid (the centrepoint of all the caches I had found thus far) just happened to be out at Lake King, so a plan was hatched as to how to get out there.

Ironically, my companion didn't realize that she would be going geocaching, and just the day before our scheduled departure, she messaged me with "Oh, no, we aren't going geocaching are we?" I half expected her to bail out at the last minute, but she didn't, and the rest is history. We had an absolute ball. Three days and two nights with many, many kms, lots of smileys, her jumping around squealing each time she found a cache and me having to shush her and remind her not to let the muggles know what we were doing, music and laughter all the way, awesome scenery, great photos, unbelievable memories - so much fun. Thanks to Eaglette2017 for sharing the adventure with me.

We stopped at this cache on our way eastwards, which was the very first roymec cache for Eaglette2017. She was already hooked after only a couple of finds, and I had primed her on just what kind of caches this CO was famous for. At gz, I quickly spotted that which didn't belong, but my companion missed it completely. I could have just told her, but that would have spoiled the surprise. So we played cold, colder, warmer, warmer, colder, warmer, warmer, until she got burnt. Even then she couldn't believe it was the cache.

Thanks roymerc for placing this cache here, hiding in plain sight, for the attention to detail that you put into every cache, and for allowing me to show off our game to my very contrite companion. And of course, thank you for the smiley.

found on way to dads. really cool cache tftc

Good hide. Nice drive by cache. Wife got fuel while i entertained dog. She was surprised to find me with a cache upon her return.

I have not found many caches by THE FAMOUS ROYMERC because when I last went to Denmark I had only been caching for a couple of weeks & did not grasp the significance of the town. Finding this one led to some suggestions, which led to some plotting and who knows possibly a return trip to Denmark is on the cards in the not too distant future. TFTC

Found it in a few seconds.

Nice cache. Easy find. Thanks

Awesome cache

Quick grab on an early morning. Nice Hide. Tftc!

Well it turns out roymerc wasn't done with me yet. We stopped here for some lunch, and as I often do I look up where the nearest cache is. 80 meters away is definitely doable. So Geojosiah and I wondered over to make the find. We were mightily impressed with the design and build quality of this geocache. Wasn't until a few days later that I realised it was a roymerc cache too, and then it all made sense.

Found with dad, finally catching up on my logs after a year or more. Sorry.

Lov3d this sneaky one

TFTC

A nice one!! Thanks. Greetings from Germany

I had planned on a road trip today just me and my 2 geodogs, making the most of the last day of the holidays. I had planned to go to Bunbury to collect some Earthcaches and then call through Collie and Boddington on the way home to collect a few missing LGAs if I had time. Just as I was about to leave a notification came through for a new cache so my plans were quickly reversed. After my Stop of in Boddington I decided to head to Collie via a favourite town of Williams. Spent some time in my teens here on a friends farm and loved swimming in the creeks in summer and of course the bakery. So a stop off was certainly in order. After coffee and refreshments this one was a walk in the park (with my dogs as alibi of course) Yet another well crafted roymerc camo. Now back to the car and through the police RBT road block I can see up ahead then on to Collie TFTC roymerc

Checked out on way home. All good.

Quick find by Geo son on annual Albany trip. First of many we hope. Tftc

Great cache - another roymerc cache found

We pulled in to the driver reviver stop which unfortunately was not yet operating, as we looked down the road toward Albany the sky was black with rain clouds. I hurried across to find this very cunning cache, I had read a previous log and noted that the cache needed a new logsheet and was all prepared to replace the current one - much to my surprise the previous finder had already done just that.

Loved the cache, very cleaver indeed. Looking forward to finally meeting you at Denmark get together in a few days.

thanks Roymerc

Ian & Sue - Team Pathfinder uses T.P. to sign smaller logs.

Nice easy find. Thanks guys. Camp Quaranup crew are great. New log in place so get busy guys.
TFTC. Cheers Bloffy

Gotcha, forgot to log as we found this when we came through town before.
TFTC

Unfortunately I won't be able to visit this cache until the end of September. So if any kind person would like to install a strip of paper as a temporary log, I would be very grateful.
cheers, roymerc

Log book is full and needs replacing.

Cache find #1000 for me a few months ago was a roymerc cache, but shortly after that my GPSr died, after about six years of faithful service. Today I was armed with a brand new GPSr (birthday gift from the family), and how fitting that the very first cache I'd successfully find with the new unit was also a roymerc cache! The cache was quickly found, and the trademark roymerc craftsmanship was admired and appreciated as always. Another beauty, thank you, and favourite added!
