Sir John Septimus Roe Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Roebourne is the oldest serving town in the Pilbara, being gazetted a town in 1866.
Roebourne was named after Sir John Septimus Roe, the first Surveyor General in Western Australia in 1864.
John & Emma Withnell were the early settlers to our area, responsible for originally traveling the 13km upstream in search of fresh water, discovering Eramuckadoo pool in the Harding River. This was the place that they decided to establish Mt Welcome Station, now the town site of Roebourne
This cache has been placed at this location to entice you to discover more about Roebourne and its historic buildings. If you have any further questions about the area they can help you here. It is a small cache, with a log and pencil and not really big enough for any trinkets. Special thanks to the Visitors centre Staff for looking after it for us. (they know where it is) Thanks to all the Geocachers that have helped keep this one alive - and kiddzinn for the last adjustment.
