Wandering Heroes - Mtnlioness Naturi, South Australia, Australia
By monarto on 17-Nov-11. Waypoint GC37WGY

Continuing along the WH series . Found her frolicking in the grassland Tftc

Cant be bothered to get there from road.

Find # 14192I'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 honeysucker

After a couple of events, a few caches including the furore of a certain cache yesterday in Adelaide ………..I’ve headed South today to add to a paddock I’m slowly creating here

Cache was quickly found, log stamped and returned as found

TFTC

Sadly we are not going to be able to finish this series. Spotted a bobby but then eekk! A brown snake crawled out from a cache. That was it! this 73 cacher called it quits. Driver agreed.
Going vacation home to WA
Tally was:- found 277 could not find 24 and 91 in the middle aborted due to the snake. Getting warme

When it is grey, drizzly and generally miserable at home (Gumeracha) I will often head east into the rain shadow in the hope of better conditions for caching. It’s a tactic that often works, and today I only had to go as far as Tungkillo to start seeing blue sky.

One of ten Wandering Heroes found today as I pick out some of the high FP and larger sized caches along the route, leaving plenty for next time. A good way to get to know some of my fellow cachers a bit better, as most of these teams I haven’t actually met.

I love the lioness here.

Thanks to all the COs, and to those that have helped with maintenance over the years, as many of these caches are relatively old now.

Appropriate little spot for a mountain lion(ness). TFTC monarto.

Roar

Today I headed out to grab the new cache placed for me in the WanderIng Hereos series and on my way home I stopped to find some other wandering heroes
A beautiful sunny day, perfect for a drive in the countryside.

TFTC monarto
Keep smiling

Out early on a very overcast morning to gather up a few more Wandering Hero caches along the back roads. Thank you monarto for placing the cache.

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 monarto.

Today it was a drive from Renmark to Millicent to attend the mega, and on the way we decided to collect certain choice caches, mainly for certain D/T or size challenges

Thank you for the cache and giving us a break on the drive


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Early in 2021 I received an invite from GoosenEgg and Stainless Steel Rat to join them on a caching trip to the Mega in South Australia. As planning got underway some caches with high Favorite points, very old caches, and the On Your Bike Series were listed as "must-dos"

The trip ended up being 10 days of solid and very enjoyable caching with quite a few highlights. The find count for the trip was around the 950 mark when all GCA, Adventure Lab, and GC caches are included. The high point for finds was a day of 335 finds in the one day, which would have been more, but a sudden storm put the end to caching for the day. No one was interested in getting out of the car to find a cache in a downpour in the dark

We were lucky enough to find Gawler Fort Knox, Dustin's Cache, and my favorite for the trip Barossa High (From 21st of January 2001 with the original log book still in place) all in the one day.

Unfortunately, the caching around the mega was beset by bad weather and the day we had put aside for Mount Gambier was scrapped due to a covid case in Mount Gambier on the previous day, so we avoided the area. We all enjoyed the Fishing series and just managed to get the remaining of these before the light failed for the day.

In the end I managed to completed my D/T grid for the first (and possibly the second time) which was my aim for the year, although some of the D/T combinations were not really achievable in Tasmania without a 3 day overnight bush walk.

TFTC

Heading south from Remark to Millicent today to make it to the welcome event tonight, we again cherry picked from an extensive list of it would have taken a couple of days to get there. We enjoyed many of these Wandering Heroes ones.
Thanks honeysucker

The Millicent Mega trip had been a long time in the making, for the Tassie trio of stainless steel rat, budgietas and gooseandegg, due to a couple of false starts thanks to COVID19. More and more caches were added to the extensive list as planning was being finalized. We focused on old caches, large caches, certain D/Ts, virtual caches, the On your Bike series and a few other special ones on our journey. Our route saw us caching in Adelaide for a few days before heading north via Gawler to the Barossa in preparation for the On your Bike series, whilst basing ourselves at a gorgeous cottage in Waikerie. We continued on to Renmark for a night before the long trek south to Millicent.
Some of the many highlights along the way were Gawler Fort Knox, Dustin’s Cache, Barossa High and Riverland (the oldest surviving geocache in South Australia).
At the Mega we caught up with a few of our caching friends, made some new ones, and of course missed many who could not make it this time. The weather was not the best in Millicent, and a COVID19 situation in Mt Gambier altered our plans but we had plenty of caches to keep us busy between showers, including tree climbs, plenty of adventure labs, and the entertaining Finding a Fish series - giving the new pole a good workout for the first time.
Thanks to all the CO’s who have placed and maintained all these caches that made our adventure so memorable.

Today was the day we left Renmark and headed South to Millicent so we could attend the Mega, along the way we collected some standout caches and the Wandering Heroes series.

Even with the numbers being down it was great to attend a Mega and at least get to meet some fellow cachers after so long and catch up with a few people, we flew over from Tassie on Thursday and after spending a few days in Adelaide we headed Northeast to clean up some series and then head South to Millicent for the start of the Mega long weekend.

This trip has changed so many times since it was first booked and I'm glad we got to do it at long last, to start with it was just myself and GooseandEgg nipping over for the Mega and then it was a few more days with the addition of 1 toolman, then with lockdown it was back to two of us but then another Tassie cacher in the shape of BudgieTas stepped up to the plate and we were back on for an over a week trip to grab a few caches before the Mega and then finish off with Millicent before flying home on the Tuesday.

Thanks for the cache.

Decided to go and do some house keeping and clean up the blue's , and this was one of those found today after a couple of previous DNF's, container and log in good condition TYFTC

Another great little cache ticked off in the Mallee. TFTC

A new day for wandering through the heroes while staying in TAilem Bend.

Love ️ the container. She just needs some TLC!
A fave from me.

No trains to worry me today. Cache lid is broken but cool cache. Thanks for the hide.

Found on a trip to the Riverland with FeatherWaite.

It was nice to be able to finally get out and about again for a few days of travelling, camping and caching. We were lucky with the weather, with mostly sunny days, relatively warm temperatures and no rain to speak of.

We targeted specific caches and areas and found a good selection of traditionals, multis, puzzles, letterboxes and a wherigo. Most of the containers and contents were in reasonable condition, although we did have to replace a few.

Surprisingly we didnt come across any many other people on our travels. Perhaps it was just a product of where we went, or maybe people are holding off for the June long weekend.

Thanks honeysucker for the cache.

Out this way again on my daily exercise drive/walk in keeping with the current restrictions. Found this cache along with some others. the only beings I came in close contact with were flies which I would happily pass on the COVID 19 virus to if I had it. TFTC

Good decoration on this one. Could use a new container underneath though.

Thanks for the cache honeysucker.
Found on 3/3/20 at 1:23 pm.
Find #10659.

Day 177 (Sunday 23rd) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Tailem bend today. A total of 40 for the day and 3327 for the trip. TFTC

Thanks Monarto 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.

Cache needs a new container and the contents are getting wet, evicted a big black cockroach but it will probably find its way back. Fav point awarded for cache decoration.

Thanks for your hides

Tftc

A day trip to the Wandering Heroes series, collecting a few highly favourited caches to complete this months souvenier set. I love caching this series, because of the effort so many hiders have put into their caches. It is clear from the outset why so many favourite points are allocated along this trail.

This was find number 7 of 11 for the day for me. TFTC honeysucker!

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

The Wandering Heroes trail keeps on wandering and so do we, along with ilook4geo. Most of the caches we did today were in acceptable condition, although there were still a couple where containers need to be replaced and a few logs that also need to be renewed. As is normal, each log had our visit noted by the addition of two lots of initials, being GP2 and ilg.
Our thanks go to monarto for adding to this trail and to the fun of the game.

Tackling another section of the Wandering Heroes series today with goingplaces2. Had a lot of fun and found all caches that were on the list. Logs signed, all replaced as found. 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 monarto 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.

A well know name around Adelaide
Who deserves a cache in their honour [^]
The pride of SA ?? [:o)]

Tuesday 8 November 2018.

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 honeysucker! [^]

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. We stamped all the caches with the fabulous randoms stamp

Came back again to catch up more Wandering Heroes from yesterday before heading to Adelaide from Melbourne for 10 days holidays. Found it. TFTC !!

Found this one last time I couldn't find so was good to cross it off. Tftc

Quick find

TFTC!

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!!

An afternoon out with Purrfect Di and Jack to shorten the Wandering To-Do list
found us here at your cache. A nicely themed cache, nice to find a lioness in the wild!
Much appreciation to all who have placed and maintain caches on the trail.

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

Found with FerociousFlea on our 2017 June Long Weekend Wandering Heroes Caching Run. Totals included 155 on Saturday, 176 on Sunday and 6 early Monday, making for 337 caches in a little over 48 hours.

Thanks to all of the cache owners and caching teams that have this series named after them. Thanks also to those who make the effort to maintain other's caches so that people like us can do these caching runs. Apologies for the generic logs...

Found with Beaker on a long weekend caching trip... 337 caches in 2.5 days! Broke some personal records, had very little sleep, lots of caffeine, a few minor injuries and a heap of fun! Some great caches found, well done to everyone involved. Thanks

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 honeysucker.

honeysucker, I found your cache Wandering Heroes - Mtnlioness on 28/4/17.
This is my find #4501 and find #64 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 honeysucker for placing this cache here and for tempting us to venture over to this area. Cheers!

jinta29 found your cache Wandering Heroes - Mtnlioness today. This is my find #7653 and find #64 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 honeysucker for placing this and bringing us to this part of the world!

Out caching with Hevwalker today to make a dent on some more of the Wandering Heros caches.

We had a fun time but didn't hit the 100 we had initially hoped for. For me it was 63 finds for the day. I was happy with that.

Once did a FTF with the Lioness under a spider web laden bridge.

TFTC monarto. This one was a favourite for me

We had a fun time!

Found 26 March 2017

Ismartis & I started the day with great ambition & enthusiasm...to get a chunk of the Wandering Heroes completed...well we got a little chunk done...71 for me...we had a lovely day out...

Well this one proved interesting to get too...took the easy way in...for an AWD at least...
Loved the themed cache...Thanks honeysucker

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

couldnt put a eye on this one

tftc

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

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

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!

TheCatBandits on a mission today to finish off the Wandering Heroes Series. On the road at 6am as we had approx. 400km round trip ahead of us. Beautiful Autumn day only the one snake was seen ( only a foot long still scary lol ) The whole family has enjoyed the Wandering Herero's series. This series is a real credit to all cachers and cache owners. Sorry for the generic log. TFTC

We are heading west as heading home so thought we would stop nearby and continue this serie that we started when we were heading to Victoria . Tftc

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.

This one needs some maintenance the whole lot was soaked. I put a new log in which is in a plastic bag.

Thanks for placing the series.

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 Heroes 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 Heroes.

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.

I found this cache today as number 90 of 161 in company of Cold Freeze on our Karoonda Road Run III. Our first run back in 2008 was well before Wandering Heroes and yielded just 14 caches along the entire road and our caching figures were in the 2,000's back then. Our second run in 2012 brought us 160 caches where we started at Loxton and continued caching all the way past Karoonda to just before the Murray Bridge - Tailem Bend Junction. From there, we headed into Tailem Bend for Dinner and continued back from there for a few extra caches before giving up about an hour before dark. Our caching numbers were in the 5,000s at that time. Today, with caching numbers now in the 8,000s, we picked up at the point we had left off last time near the Murray Bridge - Tailem Bend Junction and headed south with the aim of finishing off all of these caches then caching our way back towards Loxton. I had not counted the caches in this section before leaving home and I thought that there were probably about 80 caches there. Once we got them all done, we found that there were just over 140 left in that area so we didn't get much past Karoonda on the way back after all. A great day though nonetheless and there looks to be at least one more full caching day to come at some stage. Thanks to all cache placers in this series today from D B-A.

Geocaching journey to the riverland!

900th Cache Find 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 Mtnlioness as of yet. Quick & easy find. Geoson J enjoyed this cache container. TFTS

Take 2 at what we started during OZ Mega Murray Bridge, took us a while to get back here but we made it. TFTC.

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 honeysucker for your effort here.

A really great cache. We had a smile when we found this - well done Honeysucker. TFTC

Cute! TFTC

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

Project “Centroid” was on. After a bit of planning Fleabag and I decided to head towards Adelaide again for the long weekend to get 500 or so caches to move our centroid far enough away from home to complete a challenge cache in Melbourne. We managed to get 501 just for good measure.
At the same time we tried to get a few areas of Victoria done on the way there and back to start working on another challenge cache back in Melbourne.
Today was a wandering heroes day until we had to head into Murray Bridge to pickup some replacement caches from the CO to replace a number of the Oz Mega series that are missing which we will fix up tomorrow.
Thanks for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Spiffy- and I were on a project to get 500 caches in 4 days that were over 100km from our home locations. I reallly enjoyed this series and the themed hides. Great idea and a nice tribute to all the cachers. With each cache we would recall if we had met them at events and what caches they owned. A long and tiring but very enjoyable day. Thanks for the cache.

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! A favourite point for this one. TFTC and the series.

Found during an epic Australia Day long weekend of caching road trip through Victoria and South Australia.

TNLN, thanks honeysucker.

Buckfast from France

The Parrots are on holidays and on a quest to find 8000 caches before returning to duty.
Had a fantastic day folling heroes.
Only saw one cache that had eclipse tins in it.
over 100 finds and mints on my last cache of the day.
This must be some sort of record for me.
Loved driving beside the track as I didnt like some of those roadside stops with the trucks thundering past.
A great day out and in the afternoon we headed to Loxton Hotel for the night.
Fiona O'Loughlin is performing here tonight but unfortunately it is sold out.
Tomorrow back down the road to find some more.

On a 10 day geocaching holiday in SA from Brisbane with my sister JooJoo57. We attempted to do as many of the Wandering Heroes caches, however we were competing of temperatures in the 35-38 degrees range. Thank you for the caches , it was a most enjoyable day. TFTC

On a SA geocaching trip and today we are searching for some of the Wandering Heroes plus some of these along the Karoonda Road. Was a very hot day so only out till lunchtime. TFTC.

[red]Find #1447[/red]

An easy find for us today. I'm sure I heard a roar while here 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 [^] Sometimes the parking was very difficult being double white lines and plenty of passing cars, having a companion to drive / swap with made this series that little bit easier. 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, imhidingsa & to everyone for the series TNLN[/blue]

This day I'm on a Geo - adventure in the countryside with Dr. Owl, our mission: get all the happy smiles we could and discover the Wandering heroes !
We saw a classic:
"stonehenge style"
"home invasion cache" the ones in the middle of a tree hole of some possum home
"incredible camouflage" the ones with the natural wood on the top or some dry leaves
"Home sweet home" the ones who are now habitat by spiders,
Beetles, ants and some little creatures...
Well a totall adventure but the best of all I had a wonderfull day with Dr Owl !!

Of course, a mtnlioness tribute cache has to involve climbing, so out came the climbing poles! At first it looked like the cache was damaged, but a replacement had already been made, considerately leaving the lioness on guard.

Found at 1:42:00 PM, GAFF1, Found whilst on a run through Murray Bridge catching up on some caches I missed during the Oz Mega earlier this year.
A nice quick find.
SL, cache in good condition.
TFTC honeysucker

The Geo family was out for the Queens Birthday weekend and remained in the area overnight. What a brilliant series and a real credit to South Australia – very inspirational. We will have to come back again to complete this wonderful series.

We were out with the geofamily staying overnight at a motel in Tailem Bend. We were out for a total of two days nonstop geocaching. We used the geomobile and our bikes cycling 10km up the freeway! I know we are crazy! TFTC

Found with Knightyme. TFTC.

Caching with Shaido today, on a great sunny day in May. Thanks for the cache.

The cache container has seen better days, so has been replaced. the original top is used to cover the new cache container, as it is worthy of remaining, as well as a fav point.

I have met Mtnlioness on quite a few occasions, she is also one of the first caches I met and helped make me feel welcome at my first event.

On the way from Melbourne to Adelaide the long way and finding a few caches along the way. This was a selected few and it was fun.A very nice container unfornately water has got inside and the log is wet. TFTC

A big day out with bananabros, greedy parrot and lozanger. We started this series exactly one year ago and picked a beautiful, sunny day to continue today. We had a great day with 55 finds and one DNF. We will be back another day to continue. Thanks to all the cache placements and the varied containers. Most enjoyable.

A quick cache run after a day of cycling

One of my challenges I set myself for my trip to the SA MEGA was to see how many caches I could find in 24 hours.
Today was the day. I parked the car the night before out at the furtherest point of the caches of the OZ MEGA 2014 and slept the night there with the alarm set for just before midnight.
My aim was to complete the OZ MEGA 2014 caches then start along the Wandering Heros series and see how far I got.
At midnight I started. With no one else on the roads I moved quickly along each of the roads looking for those little 'suspicious piles of stones'. By 6 am I had just the arrow head to go. I stopped the car and changed clothes as I was getting hot in the thermals. ... and the car would not start. 2 hours later the RAA turned up and said I had a flat battery. [?] [?] [?]
Found the remaining caches (except the couple that are now missing) and headed south for the Wandering Heros series finding the odd one along the road.[^]
The Wandering Hero series are different containers at different distances from the road so they were a little trickier to find at times and my find rate slowed down a little. Slowly the day continued and my count continued to grow, passing 200 and 300. Just after 7:30pm I passed 400 caches and I eventually stopped at 8pm exhausted just before Mindarie.
20 hours and just over 400 caches.

Apologies for the cut and paste logs.

Found with Tassiegirl13.
We'd attended the SA Oz Mega Event and this was our last day caching in the area.
With everything done around the event we headed up along the Wandering Hero's Power Trail to add a few more to our tally.
What a cool container, well done for putting in the effort that would have went into it.

It was time for specimenX and myself to head back to Murray Bridge to do the Signal PT and some of the Wandering Hero's. It was a 2 hour drive there and we arrived and went straight into the Signal series. We were suprised at how they were scattered and doubted a few of our answers but it seems we had them all right and we found the whole lot. We then headed off for some lunch and collected a couple of Oz Mega 2014 caches that had gone astray on our last visit.

Murray Bridge was almost a ghost town compared to the Easter weekend. We were still looking for the Kookie magnets (habbit now lol) and we were kinda missing all the geomobiles with their flags flying high. Seems Murray Bridge was back to BAU and we were once again engaging stealth mode for our activities.

Once we had eaten, we decided to try our luck and do as many Wandering Hero's as our bodies would allow. specimenX was like a bull at a gate, just kept going and going and going. We evetually called it quits at a daily total of 204 finds (our highest yet) and started the 2 hour drive home at 1am in the morning. By the time we got home, we were well and truely exhausted, showered then crashed immediately.

In the Wandering Hero's, we managed to get from the Tailum Bend turnoff all the way to Karoonda Road/Kulde Road intersection. We then headed up Karoonda Road towards Bowhill Road (heading towards Murray Bridge) to collect The Lost Wanderers.

There are still SOOOOO many Wandering Hero's we need to collect so it looks like another SA trip will be in the planning

Thanks to all the CO's who have placed caches for us to collect and also bigh shout out to those who maintain these caches. Very enjoyable exhausting day.

Off we go again! This time Rapidlywild and I decided to tackle the Wandering Heroes caches after completing the Oz Mega Signal power trail-insane! [:O)]

Once again Rapidlywild was the driver and I was the runner [:O)] Most of the caches were nice, quick finds although several of them were a little bit elusive to us in the dark so RW joined in for the search

I enjoyed the variety of the hides along the way; several were quite creative! All up for the day we totalled 204 finds and ended with a 1am finish Absolutely geobuggered after that! lol!

Thanks to all the CO’s for placing their caches in this fantastic series!

Found while out and about with Tassie Trekkers after the Oz Mega. TFTC

One of the many caches we found afer attending our 1st OZ Mega with whitewebbs. Thanks to all who placed caches for our enjoyment.
