Sadly this one beat us.

Well hidden cache. I usually struggle when other cachers can't find the cache. It's almost as tricky as some of this team's hides. TFTC FLIPPER & CO.

Hi FLIPPER&CO, I found Wandering Heroes - Dazzatron & Margieh 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 FLIPPER&CO for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

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.
 
14-Nov-21


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.

We found a couple of Dazzatron caches in Spring Gully - a very nice conservation park. We guess this is a throw-down cache (as it's a mint tin in the bush!). TFTC FLIPPER&CO.

Thanks for the hide FLIPPER&CO.

We spent last night in Meningie. A bit of the Tailem Bend power trail this morning and then some sightseeing on our way to Adelaide via Victor Harbour.

We are visiting from South Africa. . Landed in Sydney and are driving along the coast to Adelaide.

Vir die Suid Afrikaaners. Ons is op toer van Port Elizabeth. Eers na Singapoer en dan na Australia. Ons het in Sydney geland en ry kuslangs na Adelaide. Baie lekker.

We are finding out about fellow geocachers as we read the descriptions before logging our finds for the day. All good with this cache.

Tonight was a long drive from Adelaide to Mount Gambier for a weekend of cave diving, and hoping to catch a few of the Millicent mega committee's events scattered around the southeast. There were a few target/required stops on the way: I needed to make a stop at Tailem Bend's Wandering Heroes series to place a cache and find my hero cache that Michells&hound had put out, and there were a few tree/ladder climbing caches placed between Kingston and Millicent that were yet to have a FTF.

A quick find, with the obvious telltale feature of a pile of rock rubble indicating treasure beneath. I wasn't sure about the choice of an eclipse tin as this container though, but maybe it's been a replacement in recent years. Thanks FLIPPER&CO. I CITO’d out a bit of rubbish and bottle from this location.

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. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe
 
18-Mar-19
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.
 
18-Mar-19
Moving on today and still caching with goingplaces2. Found quite a lot for the day and signed each log. The Wandering Heroes caches were sometimes a bit challenging to find and some needed a lot of maintenance. All was put back into place before we moved on. TFTC.
 
10-Mar-19
TFTC. We were close by after having been near the Enchanted Forest. Decided to detour slightly to make a start on the Wandering Heroes Trail. We only attempted 7 this morning. The others will need to wait for another day.
 
27-Jan-19
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 FLIPPER&CO TFTC.

No luck for me at this one. Gave it a good search but with plenty of others to target for the day I decided to move on without making the find. Thanks anyway.

Yesterday I was making my way from Mansfield to Adelaide. I was racing over there and on my way back I dropped in to tailem bend set up my tent on the footy field and woke up at 2 to some sprinkles and thought crap better pack up my tent as it almost got soaked! After an interesting experience at the tailed bend football oval I was awake and thought I’d do some quick caching before I made my way home. Easy 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!!

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.

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 Smile

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 Big Grin. 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 Smile. 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 Big Grin

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

jinta29 found your cache Wandering Heroes - Dazzatron & Margieh today. This is my find #7629 and find #40 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 FLIPPER&CO for placing this and bringing us to this part of the world!

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Needed the cache for the day and was heading to Tailem Bend for work. Having cleared out most of the town this trail was next on the list. After finishing work and on the way home made the detour along the road to commence making the finds. And as always you just can't stop at one.
Made a quick find , signed log and replaced. Great to read the history of names you come to know so well.

We first started finding caches hidden by both Dazzatron and Margieh when we were living in Wallaroo, and soon came to admire their clever hides and sensible puzzle caches. At the time of logging this cache, we have nearly 140 finds on caches hidden by either Dazzatron or Margieh.

We have had the pleasure of meeting both of them back in 2009 at a pub lunch in Kadina.

Thanks FLIPPER&CO.

Ismartis and I decided on a day caching some of the Wandering Heroes and a few extras in her quest to reach 3000 finds and to put down a new cache for another Wandering Hero. [^]

We started off from Tailem Bend and headed to Karoonda and beyond and had a great day managing 77 finds for me Smile and 4 DNF's. Sad

Some of the caches were badly in need of repair Sad and some were very well put together Cool but all in all it was a fun day with most of the caches easy to find. Big Grin

We had looked for this one previously and couldn't find it but today it was a quick find so maybe it just wasn't there last time. [?]

Thanks for the cache FLIPPER&CO. Smile
 
29-May-16
Came out to this cache dense neck of the woods with JJ52 today to get a few numbers to get me closer to my 3000th cache and place a new Wandering Heroes cache as well Wink.

The weather was great for caching, cool with no rain, and we had a really good run on the Wandering Heroes with me getting 75 finds for the day Big Grin & 4 DNF's Sad and JJ52 picking up a couple of extras Smile.

Then once darkness hit we headed in and enjoyed a really good meal at the Tailem Bend Riverside Hotel Razz. What a nice way to finish off a great day and refresh ourselves for the trip home.

Had tried to find this one before and failed but an easy find today, TFTC FLIPPER&CO Smile

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 Wink). 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.
