auzzie convict's wild adventure #50 Templers, South Australia, Australia
By auzzie convict on 22-May-13. Waypoint GC4CNF0

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 !
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!

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

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.
Thanks auzzie convict

Out on a beautiful Saturday afternoon with the geodog! Great hide, TFTC!!

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

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.

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 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.

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.

Thankyou.

nice walk today, tftc

Found with AussieM&M and Team707!!!

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.

Joined CPWanderer and Aussie M&M in the quest to complete this PT. TFTC

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

Phone app back working Tftc

TFTC. Found on a beautiful day for caching. Didn't run into any other teams today. Found another 15 from the series. Back on Thursday to find the rest (hopefully the road works will have moved along by then)!!!

Quickest find of the day and our last for today.Neighbour drove passed slowly twice,maybe wondering about all the activity near their patch...TFTC

Spent the afternoon with honeysucker on this series. We found 40 with 10 DNF's and a number we couldnt attempt due to roadworks.

A very challenging series with trying to find nano's in the scrub with many of the GZ's being in the middle of the road.

Spoke to a farmer and another resident to allay their fears of people stopping on their roads - they now have a better understanding of what is going on.

Will get back up again some time to finish it off. TFTC.

After a busy weekend thought it be nice to get a few caches with Firesafe.
Then we came to nano central fond some missed some even increased my DNF count

Coordinates changed from:
S 34° 29.132 E 138° 42.866

Coordinates changed to:
S 34° 29.133 E 138° 42.868

Distance from original: 12 feet or 3.6 meters.

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

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

Found with Mr Parrot and the McKee clan after attending a few events, all we had 17 FTF's, and 11 DNF's.

TFTC & sorry for the late logs

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

found with McKee Clan, Purple Gecko, southern cross caching and SA parrothead. Had a fun evening out caching even if some were a bit tricky, we will be back for the rest another time. TFTC SL

Silver to me after finding the impossible. Nearby neighbour concerned about us and came and saw us three caches further away from his house. I think he will get sick of all the visitors coming his way. Out with Jeremiah Bullfrog.

Hooray - we found it!! Moses was happy to go for a quick Sunday drive to attempt a few FTF
TFTC

The worst thing about a series is the same logs that are copied and pasted on all the caches. This was an interesting and challanging series with nano caches all the way. As they were all very much different in container or hide along it is classed as a series. This is by far the furthest thing away from a power trail. We took 5 hours for 17 FTF's, 10 DNF's out of 60 caches. A heap of silver, Bronze and even a tin.

Highlights of the trail was what was the next one going to be, the caterpillars, the Convoy, 17 FTF's and grabbing a live one by mistake.

This series will be great as it evolves and a few of the GPS GZ locations are updated as so many had us in the middle of the road. There were a few very accurate and some had us searching a fair bit for a nano is never fun. But overall we enjoyed our adventure and will have to return to do the rest.

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 of a power trail.
We didnt find the first one but then we didnt really know what we were looking for and this is a lot more challenging than other trails we have done.
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.

After meeting locus_cache at the SAGA event, we decided to go for an impromptu caching run after seeing all the listings out north, and were joined by earthlight.

Only limited number of possible hiding places for this one being on the corner, and probably the quickest find of the night. TFTC auzzie convict!

Locus cache had this in hand before I even got out of the car.
A quick find after all the ones we spent time searching for earlier.
Took trackables to visit.
