Wandering Heroes ... AussieM&M Naturi, South Australia, Australia
By CPwanderer on 18-Mar-11. Waypoint GC2QE1N

Enjoyed the bush hereWe had a rider from NZ stay with us overnight is crossing the country from west to east. We dropped him off at Murray Bridge which left me time to cache around Tailem Bend for the day.CPwanderer, I found Wandering Heroes ... AussieM&M today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Found it! After a morning walk in Monarto and intending to spend the day in that area, a FTF hunt led me further east past Tailem Bend. After successfully grabbing the FTFs, I continued on to the endless Wandering Heroes series. Quick find here. TFTC!

So many Heroes ! Thanks to the COs for this series Tftc

Found with Bullash on 22 April

Out and about caching today. Great day out in the countryside and thanks to CO for the placement of the cache. Cache found and log signed. TFTC

Spending several days in Tailem Bend to collect the 'Straya' Challenges, Ice Cream geoart, some of the Wandering heroes and quite a few interesting caches. Thanks to the many CO's who placed and maintain these caches - it is appreciated.

Find # 14173I'm in the Adelaide area for the Great Leap Forward event. Not just for the days event, but making it a week long trip of caching n catching up with mates.Flying solo......Day 8. Homeward-bound.Day started off with a tree climb and a big stretch off the ground. Then a bit of a look around Mt Barker. Then it was the trails. It's been a while since I've hit a long trail and being alone it was just me and the caches to fill the rest of the day in. Some power trails are tougher than others, ie parking locations and barriers can be annoying and chew up time. But happily I managed all hurdles. Even the odd orb spider that made some tracks mazes. Happily that what I'd pland out fell into place with only a couple of DNFs.End of day was a surprise with my biggest solo grab of over 300 in a day. But I have plenty more trails in SA to utilise if I want to better that score TFTC CPwanderer

Just an awesome morning along the trail with moderate temperatures, and lots of Geocaches!

Thanks for a nice park and grab.Lots of new young native pines growing here.TFTC

Easy find

Day 5 of tackling this series. Based on Murray Bridge. What a great section of this series. Enjoyed the day. Thank you to all the cachers who put these out for us to locate. Found 64 and 2 dnf today.

Found on a short wander amongst the WH trail. Found Aussie M&M today, cache okay. TFTC CPWanderer.

TFTC CPwanderer for your cache Wandering Heroes ... AussieM&M that we found today.
WE are camped at the Football Oval for a few days exploring and caching around the area. Today the plan was to head along the Kulda Road finding Wandering Hero caches. We got to Martin Road and then detoured as the traffic along the road was getting a bit much for us. All caches found in good nick and pretty accurate co-ordinates.

Find count : 15779

Got stood up for a catch up with a friend today, but then weredunn4 proffered a day out caching at Tailem Bend……so here we are picking up some of these Wandering Heroes caches and a few others.
A great day for it

Targeting the Wandering Heroes series with Cheezel1961 on the bikes today. Doing about 35km on the bikes in perfect weather

Hi CPwanderer, I found Wandering Heroes ... AussieM&M today. I am on my way between the Goulburn Valley in Victoria to McLaren Vale in South Australia. Collecting a few smilies on the way.

Many thanks CPwanderer for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

Found out geocaching with friends as mystery randoms

Caching with the JAMS crew finding Wandering Heroes caches. We ended up finding over 300 and hiding 2 more. We replaced a lot of containers that were broken. We had a few showers of rain early which were getting us wet but they didn't last too long and it ended up being a nice day. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing the caches.

Out with the JAMS crew JJ52, Mogni, Allister W and sir_spectre, plus TallBikeStan and BratKat on this run. The logs where stamped as Mystery Randoms. The target's today where the Wander Heros trail ( as far as we could get ) plus any other caches in the towns or close to the road and the nearby Lab cache in Karoonda. We got slowed down by the rain till almost lunch. No wildlife sighted, not even a kanagroo. We found over 300 + caches, some of us had found some of them before but we are aligning all of our maps to the same finds. We replaced over 40 wandering heroes caches we found broken, most logbooks where dry and put in the new cache. Any logsbooks found close to full had a scroll added to the cache and all broken caches we removed and put in the bin. By the end of the day we had over a garage bag full of broken caches.

Another JAMS day was organised to tackle the Wandering Heroes trail (JJ52, allister w, mogni, sir_spectre plus tallbikestan and BratKat). We started the day with rain and hail as we drove through the hills towards Tailem Bend but by the time we started the series we just had a couple of light showers and then for the rest of the day it was fine although we had strong cool winds.

That didn't stop us though, and we had a fun day finding around 300 caches plus an Adventure Lab in Karoonda. We had come prepared with lots of spare containers and replaced a heap of broken containers and sometimes logbooks. We managed to get to Sandalwood where we called it a day, so now have plans to come back and completed the last of the series.

This was my first visit out here since 2016 and by the end of the day I had 197 finds plus the Adventure Lab which I was pretty happy about.

Thanks for the cache CPwanderer.

After watching Giselle play netball up here, we thought let’s go geocaching. Found with superman_22 Giselle_12

Wandering through the heroes! TFTC!

Amidst a forest of baby pines!

Quick find while visiting from Adelaide. Tftc

Out with geo pup today for a day caching, when the sapling pines grow up this will be a beautiful little forest, with the trail to GZ still intact log and cache in good condition TYFTC

Chooo ooo [Found] with dty73 on our SA Road Trip! So nice that the borders are slowly starting to open! Thanks CPwanderer

Tankengine and I were on our way from Tailem Bend to Berri today.

We had plans to pick up a few caches here and there, concentrating on only a special few as we didn't have time to do whole power trails.

This cache: We just didn't have time to pick up every cache in this series and really didn't want to either. Power trails have their place, but we didn't care about numbers and so we picked the cache that had someone we knew, met or just sounded interesting.

Had to do AussieM&M after meeting at my event and I have a couple of path tags too now . Thanks! Tftc CPwanderer!!!

This evening, I decided to make the drive to Tailem Bend to attend the CITO event, hosted by a few visiting Canberra Geocachers. The park was very clean by the end, and to justify my long drive, I then did a large loop of the *Wandering Heroes* geocaches. My morale was high, and I ended up finding a significant number, with some great creativity that had gone into some of those hides. A late night drive back home.

I made the drive to do a full *Wandering Heroes* loop that were the closest to Tailem Bend; That is, along Kulde Road as far as Zytheran's cache, and then returning back along Westbrook Road. I had completed a few miscellaneous heroes geocaches along here, in particular the new-ish ones when I had been in the area with others, and so tonight it was a matter of getting in the right frame of mind, and getting to work. Aussie M&M have always been a friendly team that I've enjoyed talking to, when I have seen them at events. This geocache was a reasonably quick find, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks CPwanderer for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Thanks to Gizmos Gang for replacing the cache and log.

We've found a couple of AussieM&M caches over the years.
Container lid in pieces. No longer waterproof. Log saturated.

Out and about knocking off a few more of the wandering hero’s series. Cache and contents are all good. SLTNLN TFTC

Thanks CP Wanderer for this cache, and your contribution to the whole WH series. I was on a mission today to grab as many of these as I could. Logging most from home after returning, satisfied and exhausted.

Another name on this series I know and have had the pleasure of caching with.

Thanks for all the fun times!

Thanks for the cache CPwanderer.

A quick find while staying it Tailem Bend to finish this end of the trail.TFTC

We had two hours of the afternoon left before sunset, and so we decided to search for a chunk of these Wandering Heroes caches before heading off to our campsite for the night. We enjoyed reading about the various geocachers, some of whose names we recognise as owners of caches we have found on our travels around Australia, and some whose names we recognise having seen them in log books around the country. Many thanks to the COs for having laid the trail and we hope we might be able to complete it on a future visit to Australia - maybe we might even get to meet some of the COs and the geocachers mentioned at the Clearwaters and St Arnaud 2019 Mega Events that we will be attending. This one was a nice quick find once at Ground Zero, where we also were very fortunate to have stumbled upon a beautiful Echidna - our fifth Echidna sighting since we arrived in Australia. There was also a flock of Peaceful Doves near Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Once at our campsite for the night Mr Team GBS had to cook dinner otherwise he would never have got to eat as Mrs Team GBS was too busy catching up on the days logging! Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

We were heading out of Palmer today and just picked out a couple of caches on our way to our next destination with ilook4geo.
Then we started on a trail of caches placed in honour of Wandering Heroes of the geocaching game. Although some of the cache containers and logs were on good condition, there were also quite a few where the containers were badly damaged and no longer are weather or vermin proof. Some logs also need to be replaced as they are either full, wet or mouldy.
However, each found log had two more names added and all was put back as it had been found. Thanks go to the CO for their part in this trail of caches.

On a spur of the moment trip to Tailem Bend to have a bit of caching fun.
Spent the day picking up caches in the area and surrounds and starting this great series which I will return one day to finish.
A great variety of cache containers were found in all sorts of ways.
Thanks CPwanderer TFTC.

I had planned a big few days of caching in SA so I left work on a Tuesday evening and hit the road from Melbourne. This was my third full day of caching and the Wandering Heroes caches (and assorted others nearby) were on my target list. It was a blisteringly hot day (felt hotter than the 39C recorded on my car!) and the dry and dusty conditions made it hard going at times. My first task having left where I was staying overnight in Murray Bridge was to head to the Geopets series. Once I was done there I headed on to the Wandering Heroes and others along that route. Many took me longer than expected with different containers, hide styles and some further off the road. In the end I had to adjust my expectation of finds for the day before I headed north to where I was staying overnight. Thanks to CPwanderer for this cache and to all COs for placing and maintaining this remarkable series. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.

Having started the oz mega signal yester, I headed back down south with the intention of finishing it and making a start on the wandering heroes’ caches. It was perfect weather for a long day of caching, after a few caches the mojo was back and good progress was made. Stopping in Wellington for lunch (and more caches) it was off to Tailem Bend and a steady slog was made into the wandering heroes. Eventually, as the sun was setting it was time to call it a day and head home after an enjoyable day.

Together with jsson and Sivun on a country road drive. We logged as IJS.
Today we have 40 degrees C and a light breeze.
Thanks for placing a cache here for me to enjoy and find.

Tuesday 8 November 2018.

I have met Mary and Mark a number of times and cached with them at the JLWE with Mogni, Brisal and BratKat in Warooka - we had a great time. Congrats on being honoured on this trail.

Yet another fabulous day out with gridge98...so fabulous that we stamped all of the logs as "Fabulous Randoms" (the ink in a few was becoming a little light).

We stopped at about 150 caches today as we were on a mission for Connor to reach his 4,000th caching milestone, and for me to get closer to my 10,000th. I'd found a few before today so my find count was a little lower, but anything over the 100 mark is a great day caching! We even began our day by attending a coffee event at 7:30am and then finished it with dinner and movies...haha, yep, the GIFF event was on tonight at the German Club.

Thanks so much for the cache CPwanderer! [^]

A day out with GoodLook on a mission to do as much of the wandering heroes series.
We found 150 along the way till we had to pull the pin and head home. Happy to find my 4000th at the last one. TFTC for all the CO for placing the caches. Some of the caches are in poor condition others are fantastic hides.

Stay at Murray Bridge for few days before heading to Adelaide from Melbourne to see my family and also a week break from work. Came here to do the Wandering Heroes caches for the day. Nice and found. TFTC!!

With the magical creatures souvenirs coming to an end soon, I decided I needed to grab a few more caches this weekend to knock most of them out. With a couple of events on not too far from some mostly untouched power trails, I made my way down to Murray Bridge, then spent the afternoon evening attacking the start of Wandering Heroes, as well as the start of the Popes series, along with a few others in between.

This was find number 32 of 72 for the day for me. TFTC CPwanderer!

Quick find

Tftc

I was on my way to Barmera, with a bit of time on my hands as planned lol, so I was going to find some interesting caches along the way and a few of the power trail caches. The rain stopped, which was a bonus. At some point I decided to stop only for the large ones, otherwise I would never make it to my destination for the night! TFTC!!

Lovely day mission to do the Trail on MrPancakes birthday. Thank you for the cache

Found on a one month road trip around Australia. Sorry for the generic log. TNLNSL TFTC

jinta29 and I are in town this week after many months of planning for a week to remember. We are heading to the Yorke Peninsula, Murray Bridge and as many places in between as we can get to. This was one we found along the way.

TFTC CPwanderer.

CPwanderer, I found your cache Wandering Heroes ... AussieM&M on 28/4/17.
This is my find #4485 and find #48 today.

Day 5 of our SA jaunt had us targeting the Wandering Heroes series and anything else that took our fancy [^]. We camped last night at Tailem Bend and we are unsure how far todays travels will take us

I had been eyeing off an interstate trip for some time now and made plans to head to SA to power through the geoart trails over here . I roped in my geo buddy Krabiboy to join me and we set about solving [?] caches and highlighting Jasmer caches that aren't available over in WA. Our adventure took us from the CBD over to the Yorke Peninsula and then back across to the Murray Bridge area . We were relentless in chasing down the finds and picked up as many as we could in the week that we had available. Due to the park and grab nature of our visit, the log books which weren't able to accommodate the ink stamp we had made were signed with the initials 'jk'! Fave points will be awarded for those caches which are considered awesome

A massive thanks here to CPwanderer for placing this cache here and for tempting us to venture over to this area. Cheers!

jinta29 found your cache Wandering Heroes ... AussieM&M today. This is my find #7637 and find #48 today. I was able to get my name in the log book here and we replaced the cache as we found it. Thanks once again CPwanderer for placing this and bringing us to this part of the world!

All the familiar team names keep cropping up on the trail
At each cache I get to ponder if I've met the team being commemorated or not
Or whether I've found one of their caches in their home territory

Thanks for this cache CPw [^]

Had to meet my Mum, unexpectedly, in Tailem Bend...so loaded geopet, Mandy, into the car & headed down...after our farewell I went out to do a few Wandering Heroes...
Thanks CPwanderer for this cache in honour of this great caching team

Love this trail and the challenge of finding all the different caches. TFTC and trail. High heels TB on journey with us.

Found with friend Stripling Warrior, TFTC

What a great series of nearby caches. TFTC

can just see the car from here

A quick and easy drive by as we cache our way through this series. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

TFTC

Oh wow, what a trail ! The WEEO and I flew down from Canberra to cache this trail and around MB and my wonderful Auntie put us up (future cacher there too ). We made it all the way to Loxton in 2 days but were shagged by the end. The caches were mostly fab and gave us a laugh along the way.

Thanks to all you cachers in the MB area for the great work in putting this together, you guys rock!

What a great trail, the weather is fine, the birds are singing and we are "in the groove". Thanks to all the cachers who put this trail together, we are having a ball and have not missed a beat, so far. 3-Kings and I have come all the way from NSW to experience this trail and it was well worth it. TFTC

Entire cache replaced.

Found cache. Container was shattered due to being brittle and the log is vulnerable. This needs some attention. Tftc

Stopped overnight near here on our way to Victoria, so decided to do some caching whilst here. Tftc

TFTC, also needs replacing!

Heading north to QLD and doing the Wandering Heroes along the way and today I managed picked up a lot of interesting hides along the way and this was one of them.

Thanks for placing the series.

TFTC CPwanderer

Set off really early to do the Geo Pet run and then get some of these Wandering heroes done from this end and any others along the way. Big long family day out TFTC Cache lid is broken on this one.

After a few months of planning, and trial runs I finally attempted and complete my goal of doing a 24 hour SOLO cache run!!!

One Man, One Day, 441 caches found!

I booked two nights at Murray bridge and arrived at 8:00 pm. Attempted without success to sleep until 11:30 pm then got up and went to the location of the first cache. As the clock turned to midnight I began.

Speed through the Oz Mega 2014 Trail with only a handful of DNFs, then picked a few up along the highway until I got to the GeoPets trail.

After this I cut through to Wandering Heros and completed up to the "OTS: May" trail. Went along this and came back into Tailem Bend for lunch and fuel and few in town. Was beginning to get weary but proceeded back to where I left off in the Wandering Heros.

From here on in I just completed as many of these as I could up through Karoonda in the hot hot mid 30's day until midnight stuck a few kms east of town.

441 finds was the total count and now I just had to drive back to Murray Bridge. Easier said then done after being awake for practically 40 hours. Hit the hotel pillow at 1:20 am and was out within seconds.

Thanks for all the wonderful caches around this area, and sorry for generic logs.

Off for some caching time with Purrfect Di to start the year together [8)]
Mattycat has done a few random Heroes caches, but needed to make a real start on the trail.
All we looked for were found quickly, most in fine condition. Bit of a crack in this one, may need replacing soon.
TNLN TFTC CPwanderer

Tftc! On the road today trying to get as many as I can on this trail and catches in the area of tailem bend. Weather is perfect today. Merry Xmas.

Another one down

On a quick two to three day get away by myself. Heading over to Tailem Bend and Murray Bridge to pick up a few smiley face along the way collecting mostly Earthcaches, Letterbox Hybrids, Wherigos and 'Finds by hidden month' I need to fill - Plus any others that are nearby any of the rarer types I'm after in boosting my numbers a little.

Day 1: After leaving on Home on Sunday I was fortunate to have excellent weather on my side and a great run also traffic wise, which was great as it enabled me to get quite a lot of KM's done and caches done too while on my way to Tailem Bend for the night and get an early start on the trail in Murray Bridge.

Day 2: After spending the night in Tailem Bend I made an early start at first light to cram as many caches in today as I can. After completing the Geopets series in Tailem Bend I headed over to Murray Bridge to grab a coffee and then do and complete the OZmega series and a few in between before returning back to Tailem Bend for the night.
Was an epic day with 218 caches found and logged!

Day 3: Made this my last day in SA before calling it "time-out" and head back across the border to VIC.
Did a few more this morning including making a start on the Wandering Heroes series before 10:30 before calling it quits.

Thanks CPwanderer for the cache.
Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC & smiley face

First day of holidays so I thought I might knock a few more of this series on the head. TFTC

We had arrived in Tailem Bend last night, met up with Geodad as he has been working in Adelaide for almost 3 weeks. We surely do miss him. Our Geoboys had no football this w/end, we had nothing planned so this treck was in mind not being sure what the weather was going to be like we thought we would give it a start anyway. We had breakfast, a few cachers around Tailem Bend. Filled the car with fuel, said our goodbyes to Geodad & away we went on this incredible experience. Starting at approx 11am. Had a quick glance of the Honour Roll to see who & how many of these awesome geocachers we knew or had met on our travels during our Geocaching Experience. We haven't had the pleasure to meet AussieM&M as of yet. Quick & easy find. TFTS

We arrived in Tailem Bend about 7.30 a.m. to make a start on the Wandering Heroes trail in the hope of getting 100 per day for two days. Our first day was tiring with a fair bit of bush bashing to do to get caches.
We got caught in quite a few showers of rain and spent a long time on the road, but managed a comfortable tally for the day.

Thanks to all who placed and maintained caches here for this great 'adventure trail'. Excuse my generic logs, but with so many to do, individual logs are a bit past me tonight.

Thanks CPwanderer for your effort here.

There was a spider sac under this cache, thankfully no one at home! The cache was well hidden when found. Noticed a lovely stand of young pine trees here. -- not sure what type of pine.

On a mission to find 100 caches in a day, thanks for the series. TFTC

Another find in this series on a very warm day, a bit of a challenge for cachers from Tassie. We enjoyed the hides although they were sometimes so close together that we barely got the cachemobile on the road before we had to pull over again. However didn't like the ants and they were everywhere today, not used to them! TFTC and the series.

Buckfast from France

Found on my 7th day of the 1st Anniversary trip to Adelaide.
Thanks for the cache!

[red]Find #1422[/red]

An quick find for us today. Stamped and returned as found.

We had planned a family geo trip a few weeks ago and I left it up to the geo wife to decide where she wanted to go. Murray Bridge was one of three places to visit. Lucky she decided on this area, so we could try for 200+ in a day. It was a very hot day & plenty of hours were spent in the car with much water needed. We found some great containers & loved the idea of this series. Now to rest the wheels....

[blue]Thanks for this cache, SA Parrot Head & to everyone for the series TNLN[/blue]

TFTC

A great day out with the family caching. TFTC cpwanderer

So we’re now on day two. The bikes a firmly stowed as they required too much effort and resulted in too many tired bottoms and legs. Today is about conquering as many of this series as is possible and to have lots of fun. Still we had a few giggles upon discovering some of the hides and containers. Again all very inspirational. Thanks to you all for theses magnificent hides.

Day 2 of our Queens Birthday long weekend geocaching trip to Tailem Bend and we are off at 9.00am and we found a lot of caches and this was one of them! TFTC
