auzzie convict's wild adventure #42 Templers, South Australia, Australia
By auzzie convict on 22-May-13. Waypoint GC4CNEB

closing due to moving back to qld at end of year

Clearly geocaching with kids is making us take our time with the fun little power trail. We'd accomplished another part of it, and will try for more soon.

It's a fun little series that really requires you to have your searching eyes on - we enjoy walking from cache to cache.

Out for the second round of these caches, taking it in turns with grandies to walk or go in the car. A lovely day cloudy but not hot or cold. Unfortunately most of these were wet and unable to sign log.TFTC

Started this series back in June, but had left the rest of this section until now to avoid the prolific soursobs growing back then [8]. They are all still quite a challenge !
This one has very obviously been replaced [:o)], making for an easy find. TNLNSL.
Thanks Auzzie Convict.

Found on a huge caching run with Dunko over to the SA power runs, as always we enjoyed where the caching took us along with the hunt. Our tanks to auzzie convict for the effort and placement TNLN SL

Found while out and about at large with my caching mate Slink1 on a huge caching run. We had a crack at the new SA power runs and as always we enjoyed where the caching took us. Our thanks to auzzie convict for the effort and placement TNLN SL

I managed to convince geodaughter to give up a day of computer games for some caching fun. We packed some lunch and off we went, heading north for the "wild adventure". We had some fun, some lunch and some more fun. Eventually the fun ran out so we headed home. TFTC auzzie convict!

Tackled the Aussie Convict Series with Mogni and Mrs M from Aussie M & M. before a rumoured archiving. After doing all but 2 of the northern part it was time to start this section. We have now been joined with another car load of desperado's trying to fill in the gaps. There are now 7 pairs of eyes looking. The worms are biting. Will have to stop for tea soon. Got this one first though. Thanks aussie convict.

Heard a rumour this series was being archived so.... ring Adelaide caching friends and a visit is planned, all in less than 24 hours... Lucky I am on holidays.
An interesting series that was very challenging at times. Thanks for the effort put in, apologies for the cutting and pasting.

After the Spring Lunch event I hitched a ride with Honeysucker and locus cache to knock of more of this series with a rumoured archiving imminent. We met up with the better half of M&M, mogni and brisal5 shortly thereafter and attempted numerous group hunts. This was the ninth for the afternoon for me! TFTC auzzie convict!

found with liz and bruce

Having recently returned from our adventures in South America we were enthusiastic to venture out to do this new adventure. So in the company of Honeysucker and Mary from Aussie M&M that is exactly what we did. The finds were challenging to say the least with so much area to check out around gz. Often we looked low, then high and then even higher. It was always with a great deal of satisfaction that we were able to say - here it is. Thanks to auzzie convict for the cache.

Out for a fun night of caching with SA SewerRats and Locus.
We heard on the grape vine that this series will be getting archived, which is totally disappointing.
This was a fun and very challenging series that made us hone our caching skills.
If you have second thoughts I have preform containers.

Cheers and thanks for the caches

Out caching and honing the geo skills with the Burton's and Locus tonight.
Disappointed to hear that this series will be archived. TFTC

Out with muggle partner for the day and all up I found 24 caches and had 3DNF's, 2 on the same cache
A great day to be out an about on dirt roads doing the locus cache thing! [^]
Saw lots of lizards, sheep, cows, goats, horses, a rabbit and lots of birds but luckily no snakes

Decided to try and clean up the 6 auzzie convict's that I had not yet found.
Thankfully, we found this one
Although I know that was not there last time I tried this cache!

With trepidation we ventured into auzzie convict territory, knowing this could be one frustrating trail of finds. And at first, with 3 DNFs to start with, we started to get a bit worried about our caching mojo! That soon turned around though and we managed to find a lot of the ones we looked for. Coordinates were always spot on which really helped. It was a pleasant drive around the back roads and we would have happily kept going if it weren't for a rotten cold making the experience a little hard going - breathing is rather useful when caching! We'll be back for more.

After lunch we headed out to complete some of the Aussie Convict series.
Once we realised what to expect, it was still a very frustrating afternoon.
A lot of thought & work put into compiling the series.
This is the type of nano I like.
A favourite point for the series
Thanks auzzie convict

Quick find in the light. Days 13 of 31 days of caching August. Tftc

After the plans to go do the OZ MEGA series failed due to being late in the day we decided to find more of these to complete the series, weather was not the best but we were keen to find more of these little suckers, some were pretty straight forward where others proved quite challenging, while others hate these i love doing them for the challenge and change of style of cache.

This one was completely different to the rest but this time we found it, last time was a no go

TFTC. Finally had time to come back and try and get the last 4 caches in this section of the series. I managed to come away with 3 finds.

Found with my bestest bestie and Co- see his logs Thanks for the adventures from postiegirl06

Out for a days caching with Freddo, Astro, Four-Fun and Huurtle doing the Aussie Convict Series at Roseworthy.

We had our share of dnfs and I reckon some form of a hint on each cache wouldn't hurt.

I imagine some of these caches are a lot harder thios time of year with the long grass and sour sobs.

Still we had a good time searching and finding these micro containers.

TFTC

Found on our second visit with AussieM&M.

Freddo, Team Waldron, Four-Fun and Huurtle teamed up to break these convicts out of their containers for a few seconds. Not too muddy underfoot with the sun just shining through! Perhaps some hints would assist the breakouts.

Clear skies and thanks to auzzie convict from TeamAstro.

The Sunday Gang ('SG' in logs) of Freddo, 4Fun, Waldron, Astro, & TeamHuurtle fought valiantly to free some convicts today.
Alas 12 could not be freed and were dnf'd. A few hints please?
A great day out in mostly sunshine.
Unfortunately most of the cache logs are wet/damp and some were mash and un-writeable
Thanks for the fun.

Beautiful day for a drive in the countryside and a search for some missing convicts. They have definately perfected their hiding techniques lately!
A fun day was had out with the 'Sunday Group' collecting a fair portion of this series [^]
Cheers & TFTH

The freshly clean shaven frog and his caching mates toured the back blocks of Wasley and Roseworthy chasing the hides of a convict. A convict! In South Australia! South Australia was settled convict free. We don't have convicts. Must be an escapee from Mexico or one of those other eastern states.

The tweezers came out at the first find and they never left the shirt pocket. The hides varied and the caching team with +40k finds between them struggled at many of the GZs. Where we found the caches the coordinates were good. The question was whether we were looking for a bug or grass? High or low? Bush or tree? Ground levle or elevated? Wet log or really wet log? The question was never small or large.
























Wait for it.
























You know it is coming
























Soon...
























Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

Remember, every time you hide a nanocache God kills a kitten.

No luck

Tftc found with smurfettte and geokids

had a good look but no luck for us today

Another visit and again no find - mind you the rain was coming down hard too ...

Out for the afternoon with the Burton's, Honeysucker and firesafe: thanks guys for such cool company
We headed out to the auzzie convict's first series to try and score some of the DNFs and as yet unfound caches that we all had.
All up, I managed to locus cache at 21 of these and 1 other cache today with only 4DNFs
Even found a few that I had previously looked for and not found
Seemd to me that generally, the coords here were much better than they have been in some places

TFTC auzzie convict

No Luck today.

I use my Garmin eTrex 20's visits.txt log, and I marked this as maintenance, prob meant DNF, so will log it as such.

I joined the Gawler scouts and done some night time caching. These were really hard to find in the dark but a team effort helped but this one got the better of us. I will be back

Second attempt at this....no luck

Unfortunately after 3 or 4 shots at this, I still can't find it. I do have many scars from attempting this though!!

Found the replacement with an old log from elswhere,so our names in twice.TFTc

Been replaced

No luck after an extensive search with the new co-ords!!

After a couple of days of rain and suffering a bit of cabin fever, we decided to join CPwanderer and Team707 on a caching trip to Roseworthy to attempt the auzzie convict's wild adventure series. It was a day of frustrating caching, exciting trips through boggy roads, a good lunch, and great company.

Unfortunately it wasn't the caching experience we were expecting as the strong winds and rain had dislodged some caches from the above ground hides, and the soursobs had made the ground caches more difficult than they should have been. Also some of the caches have had their bits pulled out making the ground ones even more difficult. On top of that we found that there were some caches that still had co-ordinate problems (including one of the new spots). We did our best but still ended up with 17 DNFs for the day which was pretty depressing caching when you spend so much time without reward.

We do acknowledge the effort and idea for the series. TFTC auzzie convict.

No luck today

This cachie has gone walk about will fix asap

enjoyed helping auzzie convict to set up and maintain this series She's the driving force because she loves hiding them and I prefer just finding them lol A great series babe you should be proud of your efforts tftc

FTF found with McKee Clan and Purple Gecko TFTC SL

Spy Gecko is a team made up of spyjordy and Purple Gecko for the scouts geocaching competition. Thank you for placing caches that assist us during this competition. Tftc sl

FTF bit nasty in all the box thorns, glad hubby retrieved this one. Tftc sl

No luck today,OUCH OUCH..TFTH

One of many that beat us today

had a good look but no luck for us today

Coordinates changed from:
S 34° 29.311 E 138° 44.593

Coordinates changed to:
S 34° 29.312 E 138° 44.597

Distance from original: 20.7 feet or 6.3 meters.

Brought a new gps yesterday to do a beta test and update some of the coordinates

no luck with this one today

After the SAGA awards event, earthlight and I decided to drive out and locus cache some of this new series.
Very soon after arriving, we were joined by RideTheGeoWalrus and so the three of us spent about 4 hours and managed only about 21 finds with about 6 DNFs
The coords were just about all in the middle of the road and some of the caches were up to 15m from GZ: talk about damned hard work, in the dark, with only 1 good torch and 2 very low light ones!
Maybe I will come back again, if the coords are made a bit more accurate.
Got to admit, nano caches in scrub are not my favourites
At least I had great company and we shared many laughs

no luck for the convoy

DNF# 9

I was interested in having a look at this series and Southern Cache joined me for an afternoon of caching.
At the first cache we were happy to come across the Mckee clan and joined forces with them.
Combined we have about 11000 finds and thought we would be up for the challenge.
We didnt find the first one but then we didnt really know what we were looking for.
By the third cache we had an idea what we were looking for but that didnt help us a lot of the time and we had 12 DNFs for the round trip.
We certainly found the placements quite challenging and at times searched up to 12 metres away from our GZ in hope of that elusive find.
Still we came away with 47 finds and were quite happy with that effort.
My thanks to SXC and Mckee clan for a fun afternoon of caching.

Thought daylight might help but same result

This one was a return visit with my sturdy jacket ti sneak in the back of the box thorn then i spotted the critter. Took off my glove to retrieve and bugger another cut to add to the rest. Very evil hide this one blends in a little too nice. With gps coords spot on FTF for us

another DNF

Spent much time hunting this one at night with locus cache and earthlight, but no joy .

A DNF after a long search tonight with locus cache and Ride The Geo Walrus.
