Wandering Heroes ... o'cholio Wynarka, South Australia, Australia
By SA_ParrotHead on 26-Nov-11. Waypoint GC38AWB

Continuing along the WH series Love these stories Tftc

Spurred for a quick cache hunt due to people finding mine earlier today. Weather more appropriate for wine and log fires but here I am in the outdoors. TFTC CPwanderer. One cache I was always travelling too fast past maybe...

Find # 14233I'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 SA_ParrotHead

Out with weredunn4 picking up a few caches in the Tailem Bend / Karoonda area.A quick find stamp and return here todayTFTC

Out today with Cheezel doing more of the WH series. Cache found and log signed.

After specifically targeting the Team Astro Wandering Hero cache, Im collecting a few others nearby. Feels a bit snakey out here today, but none were seen. Not too hot, but I walked to several from a central parking spot, and had concerned citizens checking on me.

I don’t know many of the subjects in this section of the trail, but it’s interesting to read a bit of SA Geocaching history.

Thanks to all the COs, and thanks also to the Mystery Randoms and others who have maintained this series, it’s quite epic, and I’ll be back for more later.

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 SA_ParrotHead.

wandering around the area today and thought I would grab a couple. nice hide log and cache in good condition TYFTC

O'cholio , now there's another name that I haven't heard for a long time as well. Thanks SAParrothead for the hide.

Log to follow. Last attempted

Out grabbing a few caches in the area. Cache and contents are all good TFTC

Out and about with Purrfect Di.

Stay safe, wash your hands, sanitise, exercise, cache the regions at a distance ! ! !

Come visit the Barossa and leave some new cache hides anytime [:o)]

Day 319 ( Monday 13th ) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Karoonda today. A total of 76 for the day and 6243 the trip. TFTC

Quick find. TFTC

I’ve found a number of o’chollo caches over the years. Good to see them recognised on this trail.

Cache and contents all in good order here.

Thanks for the cache SA_ParrotHead.
Found on 3/3/20 at 4:18 pm.
Find #10691.

Well, the Mega was over, my geobuddies headed back home and now I was off to SA to continue my geotrip solo

Moving right along on the geo trip and today's goal was to knock off more of the Wandering Heroes and OTD series as well as any others along the way. Most were easy finds with only a couple proving a challenge.

Thanks for the hide and for the series, CPwanderer

Heading out for the afternoon to tackle more of the Wandering Heroes series this afternoon so this will be a generic log. All caches were found in good condition, unless otherwise noted, on an enjoyable sunny afternoon.

TFTC

Thanks for the cache

A quick find while staying in Karoonda for a few days.TFTC

Our wandering continued today, with ilook4geo, along the Wandering Heroes trail. This was a quite good section on the trail in that only a few containers were damaged and need to be replaced. The log books also were mostly in good condition and there were quite a lot that had been replaced. It was a pleasure to find the containers in this section of the trail. Each found log book had two lots of initials added.
Thanks go to SA_ParrotHead for adding to the fun of caching.

Today the caching hunt with goingplaces2 included many of the Wandering Heroes series as well as some Lost Wanderers series. Happy to add our initials to each log and replace everything before we moved on. TFTC.

Tuesday 8 November 2018.

Congrats on being honoured on this trail. I have found a number of your hides and have really enjoyed them, thanks.

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. We stamped all the caches with the fabulous randoms stamp

Checked on this today. Hevwalker's new container and log is in place.

Heading out next week to do maintenance

The afternoon along the Wandering Heroes Trail with my geopet Mandy...going for a drive and collecting some caches...
Container smashed & logbook mashed...replaced another container & another logbook...
On the way to this cache I came across a rather long snake skin in 2 pieces...glad I didn't see it's owner...
TFTC

A fun cache find on the bike ride along the highway from Wynarka this morning
Fun because of all the memories of past caches found [^]
The Mount Abrupt cache which "o'cholio" got the FTF on is still my favouritest ever cache find too

We obviously share a love of adventure

TFTC on the Wandering Heroes trail today

Today being a big day we continued on with the Wandering Heroes series. Some we found challenging and others easily, we replaced some cache containers and replaced new zip locked bags to keep the log protected as containers were damaged.

Thanks for placing these cache for our enjoyment.

Another damaged one can't fix it sorry

Had a free half day and decided to notch up a few of the Wandering Heroes series. It was great to get some background on some of the familiar team names I have encountered while out and about. TFTC.

Found on a one month road trip around Australia. Cache lid smashed, log dry but was unable to sign it. Will post photo (when I find the correct one). Cache needs urgent attention. TNLN 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 SA_ParrotHead.

SA_ParrotHead, I found your cache Wandering Heroes ... o'cholio on 28/4/17.
This is my find #4534 and find #97 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 SA_ParrotHead for placing this cache here and for tempting us to venture over to this area. Cheers!

jinta29 found your cache Wandering Heroes ... o'cholio today. This is my find #7686 and find #97 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 SA_ParrotHead for placing this and bringing us to this part of the world!

Love these caches thanks for the trail, heading down towards Tailem Bend to meet up with the ones we have done in the past. TFTC and trail MN: broken lid placed a rock on it to protect it.

Cache is in urgent need of attention.

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

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

Cache needs maintenance the lid is cracked.

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.

Another day out caching with CAD - getting closer to the next milestone T4TC:)

Another day of many, I hope TFTC 32

Nice find on a day out caching! Thankyou for the hide! !

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 10 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.

G'day o'cholio - we see your photo on our pprass Family Coin page from time to time.
Thanks SA_ParrotHead.

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

Another easy find on our way to Karoonda today, with the day just about done for us with rain coming across the horizon.

TFTC - SA ParrotHead.

A quick find for this cache, love these!

Day two of our attack on the Wandering Heroes series. A warm weather forecast meant an early start as the weather is proving a bit of a challenge for cachers from Tassie. Enjoying the series and the chance to get in amongst some numbers. TFTC and the series

We headed out with us and harleyjohn to achieve some smileys on the wandering heroes caches. We aim to get to our namesake cache. Leaving home at 7 am we set off through the back road's heading to Karoonda. What did we see?
Thanks for placing this cache.

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

TNLN, thanks SA_ParrotHead.

[red]Find #1489[/red]

Another quick and easy find today for us. 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, SA Parrot Head & to everyone for the series TNLN[/blue]

Out on this beautiful day to continue our quest to complete this great series of geocaches. Found and signed as Pem kids who consist of Braveheart17, Lozanger and Puppytail6. Left a PEG if convenient which equates to Pembroke Elite Geocachers!! Thanks to all those who make the effort to put these geos out here. Much appreciated.

Out for the weekend with Silverfoxed and on our way to Loxton. Thought we'd pick up more of this great series. Saw some other cachers honking us. TFTC

Day 1 of a 2 day caching feast on the Karoonda Highway. Can we make Karoonda by night fall team? With nose bag and water for the day we set off, head down bum up. What a fabulous series to keep us occupied and smiling.

Our aim was to get at least 80 today on the WH trail after visiting relies in ADE. We drove to Karoonda and worked our way back to TB. Exhausted now! Thank you to all the cache owners for placement. Our big 1000 milestone will now be next weekend. TFTC

A nice quick find.
SL, cache in good condition.

On the way to a geocaching event at Berri and taking the opportunity to find some more of the WH series. Dodging showers and enjoying the variety of caches in this series. Thanks to all the owners for their contribution to the series.

[^] [^] [^] On the way to Loxton - enjoyed search, found and signed the log. Thanks to who organising the cache and hide... etc.. [^] [^] [^]

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.

Found this cache while In SA to attend Oz Mega. Travelled today from Tailem Bend to Sandalwood.. Enjoyed the variety of caches along the way and the many novel hides. Thanks for your cache SA_ParrotHead

G'Day from WA
Thanks for your cache SA_ParrotHead The Oz Mega Event has finished and we are just cleaning up a few caches before we head home.
Thanks Murray Bridge we had a blasst.

14:17
We teamed up again with Suscoe for a Post Mega tilt at the Wandering Heroes to extend our line of smilies towards "the end" - a never ending story we suspect! We actually met a number of these Heroes at the Mega and were hoping to find caches typifying them or their hiding style. As it was we had fun learning about their backgrounds and adventures thru' the detailed cache notes.

Thanks to SA_ParrotHead for the cache.

Here in the area for the Oz Mega from Wodonga, spending the day with Bushfire. Our goal today was to grab 150 caches along the Wandering Heros Trail. It is wonderful to see these people who have been recognised along the way. We had a great day in the area making the finds.There was some great hides and our thanks to all the hiders for the effort in hiding and maintaining the various caches. Thanks.SA_ParrotHead.

What a week this has been at the Oz Mega Event in Murray Bridge SA. I have so many caches to log so it will have to be a cut and paste log because of the numbers but this does not mean that that I don't appreciate the effort that all the cache owners have put in to hide these caches because without the hiders we would not have the pleasure of finding the vast number of caches that have been placed in this area and also the owners of caches along the roads that we have to travel to arrive in M.B and return back to our homes.
I left Geelong on Wednesday 16th April 2014 and arrived home a week later with close to 500 caches found and now the mammoth task of logging all of these caches.
Thanks to all the cache owners who placed caches for everybody to find.
Early Monday 21st April I ventured out to this group with fellow cacher Happy Feet 1 (Robin and Josh) signing the logs as B & HF1 and finding all along the way until we decided to return to Murray Bridge with our aim today was to log at least 150.
This is not the order we found these but for ease of logging I will log in order.

Suscoe headed out this afternoon after relocating to Karoonda for a bit of caching fun in the company of Phetlern.
Logs were signed in a combination of ways with Suscoe, Phetlern where we had overlapped on previous visits and S and P where we were both logging for the first time.
Another delightful day even if it was a little windy.
This cache was one of 61 finds for the afternoon.
Thanks to S A ParrotHead for placing this cache.

Another Oz mega find TFTC

Went out caching during the OZ Mega with M-SEZ, Ma77hew & Kay, SneakySqueaky and Knightech JNR.

3 cars 12 people and hit the road. We got around some of the Wandering Heroes and the OZ Mega arrow and the Lost Wanderers.

A nice quick find. TFTC

Found during OzMega 2014 with Sneaky Squeaky and knightech

Geocaching a section of the Wandering Heroes with my Geodaughter during the last day of Oz Mega. The flies and the heat detracted from the overall enjoyment of the expedition, resulting in only a handful of caches being completed.

Visiting from Newcastle, travelling with JMCz from Texas, TFTC!!

Day 2 of the Mega and we have good intentions of doing all of the wandering heroes series . We struggle to get numbers living in an isolated location so this is an opportunity to good to miss, plus its our chance to learn about the other cachers in OZ as we go. TFTC

Off with Patdj for another day with the aim of completing the Wandering Hero trail. Generic posting - sorry

Cached today with Team Tonka , Grub Fred and Backwards Charlie. Met many cachers along the way. The OZ Mega Flags were everywhere, what a great idea. Everyone waved to us or blew their horns, had a great time. Fun caches too!!! TFTC

Third day out from Oz Mega with M Robbo. TFTC. Sorry about generic posting

Thanks for the hide

I flew into Melbourne and rented a car to come to Oz Mega. This is my first geocaching trip to Australia and I am enjoying it so far. Of course I searched for and found a few caches between Melbourne and Murray Bridge.

After registering for Oz Mega I am doing some caching as part of Team Z (Grub Fred, JMCz, Team Tonka, and myself). Thursday we concentrated on the Oz Mega 2014 SA series and found almost two hundred (200) caches. Friday we concentrated on the Oz Mega 2014 Signal series and found almost one hundred (100) caches. Today we spent most of our time working on the Wandering Heroes series and found about two hundred (200) caches.

Thanks to all the volunteers for all the work in putting together the mega event and these series. If it were not for hiders, there would be no finders.

Found this one on our day out from the Oz Mega as we attempted the Wandering Heroes trail. logging this one as Team Z (Grub Fred, JMCz, Backwards Charlie, and myself) this one one of the many great Caches we found along the way Thanks for the great effort put into creating and maintaining these caches over this very busy period.
Sorry for the Generic Log but with 200+ caches to log today the mind is very Numb.
Happy Caching.

From Auckland via Sydney I arrived at Adelaide around 10pm on the 17th to be picked up by funkymunkyzone, slieschke and Cats&Dragons (thx!). The plan was a 24h geocaching run which included picking up as many caches possible involving the three trails of Oz Mega, Wandering Heroes and Tour de France. We made it just in time back to Murray Bridge to meet up with vistra and yorkshirekiwi83 at GZ of our first cache. With the whole Team "NZ Fun" assembled the run started exactly at midnight.
In total we managed 727 finds and 11 DNFs in 24 hours. Wow what a great team effort!!

After the "Oz Mega 2014 SA & Signal" Series we started to concentrate on the "Wandering Heroes series". Great trail with sooooooo many awesome and creative geocaches. Thanks to all the cache owners! TFTC

I am over from New Zealand for Oz Mega 2014 and today joined forces with fellow kiwis Yorkshirekiwi83, Cats&Dragons, Funkymunkyzone, Slieschke and Alpenmilch80 for a 24 hour non stop caching run! The log books were signed under the team name of "NZ Fun"

We started near Murray Bridge and worked our way around the Oz Mega 2014 Signal trail, then on to the OZ Mega 2014 SA trail. Once those trails were finished, we headed over to Tailem Bend and worked through the Wandering Heroes series up to Loxton. From here we made our way across to the Tour De France power trail. Whilst the power trails were our main focus, we also picked up a few other caches along the way. At the end of the 24 hours we finished with 727 cache finds!!! It was an exhausting 24 hours and we still had to drive back to Murray Bridge afterwards! Sorry for the generic logs, but a big thank you to the cache owners for all of the cache placements!

Found as part of a 24hour cache run with 5 other kiwi's while at the OZMEGA2014 Murray Bridge (Alpenmilch80, Slieschke, funkymunkyzone, vistra & Yorkshirekiwi83, ) on Friday 18th April. All logs were signed as "NZ Fun"

We had a great time and throughly enjoyed the challenge that this presented to us all, thank you to the cache owners for being able to create such a range of caches for us to complete.

We started our run at Signal, through to OZ MEGA 2014, The Wandering Hero's, Tour de France with many other caches along the way. For all that we managed we only had 11 DNF's in the whole trip which for the numbers was pretty amazing in its own right.

So again thank you for the NZ FUN

Found with alpenmilch80, Cats&Dragons, funkymunkyzone, vistra and yorkshirekiwi83 on an epic 24 hour cache run of the Oz Mega trails, Wandering Heroes, Tour de France and a bunch of caches between these. Signed as NZ Fun (and also some instances of Fun NZ as the day continued on)! A total of 727 caches were found on this run!

Thanks to all the COs for their placements!

Sitting in a pub in Auckland before the SA MEGA we decided it would be a really fun idea to try and see how many caches we could find within 24hours. So it was decided, team NZ Fun was born (myself, Alpenmilch80, Cats and Dragons, slieschke, funkymonkeyzone and vistra). We met at the dedicated starting point just before midnight and we were ready to go on the stroke of 12, we completed Signal, OZ Mega trails, Wandering Heros and the Tour de France with many others in between.

Thank you to the many cache owners who put time and effort into placing and maintaining these trails, we really appreciate it, we managed 727 caches within our 24hours, which was exhillerating, exhausting and loads of fun. Apologies for the generic log.

Team "NZ Fun" - funkymunkyzone, slieschke, alpenmilch80, vistra, yorkshirekiwi83 and Cats&Dragons - found this on our rather loosely planned 24 hours of cache finding record run, from midnight to midnight on the 18th of April 2014. We started with the Signal geo-art trail, headed up through the other Oz Mega 2014 trails, the Wandering Heroes series and then across to the Tour de France trail for a total of 727 finds and 11 DNFs for the day. Apologies for the copy/paste logs, but with so many caches found in a single day it was impossible to remember specific caches, but that's not to say there weren't memorable caches along the way - there were indeed some great caches, particularly along the Wandering Heroes series. Special thanks to the cache hiders: OzFiresafe, Team Hurtle, and their helpers, for the Oz Mega 2014 trails; le equipe de cinq pour la piste "Tour de France"; and all the hiders of the Wandering Heroes caches and other caches along the way that we found along the way. We started at midnight on the Signal trail and ended at midnight after a few random caches in Eudunda before making the long drive back to Murray Bridge for some well earned sleep - for some of us, the first sleep for more than 45 hours. We stopped at every cache and it was a fun day but very tiring, and I don't think I'd do it again for a very long time (I'll stop short of saying never though, like organising another mega - ha!) TFTC!!!

Find 381 of 727 for the day.

A great day out hitting the caches around Murray Bridge and the Oz Mega. Miss Mary from Aussie M & M was our patient guide and drove us to all 126 caches! Thank you Mary! Down here from Toowoomba with MissLill and Kestal. TFTC!

Visiting from Toowoomba with Angloj and Kestal for the Mega. Aussie M&M took us out to get started on the Wandering Hero's Series. Thanks Mary for an awesome day of caching! TFTC!

With angloj and MissLill searching through some Wanderimg Heroes. Had a great day with one of the Ms from Aussie M'n'M. The day started off very wet but the sun came out eventually. TFTC SA ParrotHead

Headed out this morning with the ever patient jacaro44. I was running on empty from the start and, although my mood fluctuated, generally I was average at best. Happy with almost 6 hours of caching. Great company and some great caches. Thanks for the hide.

Over from WA for the SA Mega. and trying for a few smileys along the way Having a second bite at the Wandering Heros series today along with KB for added stamina but still have another days caching left to complete it. We really enjoyed the drive through the countryside and having a great excuse to visit here. Apologies for the generic logs but rest assured we do appreciate the effort the varoius COs have put in for our enjoyment..
Thanks for the caches
