Wandering Heroes.. Team Holden Naturi, South Australia, Australia
By Darknstormy on 23-Apr-17. Waypoint GC74H8G

Found it! After a morning walk in Monarto and intending to spend the day in that area, a FTF hunt led me further east past Tailem Bend. After successfully grabbing the FTFs, I continued on to the endless Wandering Heroes series. Quick find here. TFTC!

So many Heroes ! Thanks to the COs for this series Tftc

Found with Bullash on 22 April

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state WA. Spending a few days in Murray Bridge to cache the surrounds. Last day in the area so making the most of it. Loving the scenery that we pass as we move through the caches. Thank you for the hide darknstormy

Out and about caching today. Great day out in the countryside and thanks to CO for the placement of the cache. Cache found and log signed. TFTC

Spending several days in Tailem Bend to collect the 'Straya' Challenges, Ice Cream geoart, some of the Wandering heroes and quite a few interesting caches. Thanks to the many CO's who placed and maintain these caches - it is appreciated.

Find # 14169I'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 Darknstormy

I added some extra log paper. Thank you DarknstormyImages for placing and maintaining Wandering Heroes.. Team Holden for us to find today.

A tight little location. Thanks for the fun!

Big bison on top of fence post near bushy branch.Easy when you look up not down as per hint!Not a good place for parking, but we did.TFTC

TFTC. Best cars EVER (1971 HT Monaro was my first car) and Team Holden are Hero'sLog signed

We were in Karoonda today to do the adventure lab but took time out to find other caches along the way. We started this trail a few years ago and now we're back in the are we hope to fill in some of the gaps. A quick find on a warm morning. TFTC

Sneaky

Quick find with Beary Organised but Log nearly full & very damp! TFTC TNLNSL

CherryRose crossed the road to grab the cache. I jumped out of the car to yell where it was not realising she’d parked on a huge anthill. Lots of scurrying and not just by the ants TFTC TNLNSL

Day 5 of tackling this series. Based on Murray Bridge. What a great section of this series. Enjoyed the day. Thank you to all the cachers who put these out for us to locate. Found 64 and 2 dnf today.

A quick easy find, whilst in the area. Tftc

Caching from Tailem Bend to Murray Bridge. Lot's of caches and only got there in dark. Will hit the township tomorrow. Still lot's to get so will leave for another trip

Day 15 of our loop through Vic and SA then home.

Today we are on the move from Tailem Bend to Loxton. fitzy_1965, albida33 & I headed out early to get some of the Wandering Heroes before we had to leave the caravan park.

Our aim was to collect anything of interest along the way before we set up camp at Loxton. We stopped at Karoona, Borrika & Alawoona. Signed as MAF or FAM to save room.

All caches were found quickly and easily unless otherwise mentioned.

Southern Autumn adventure Day 16. Post Mega South East SA trip Day 10. Having mostly finished around Tailem Bend, we were traveling to Loxton today. Before we left we went out and did a bit of the Wandering Heroes trail, just so we did not get to Loxton too early. That was not really a problem, with plenty of single caches and a few interesting ones to be found along the way at Karoonda, Borrika and Alawoona. Today's group is Fitzy_195, MinnieK and albida33 and logs were signed F.A.M. or similar.

Thanks for the cache DarknstormyImages

Rutherglen Mega and South Australia Trip Day 15. Today we headed out early to grab some more of the Wandering Heroes series before checking out of the camp ground and heading up to Loxton for the next part of our caching holiday. It was yet another great fun day of caching. This was the next find of the day, and a quick find once at GZ. Signed, replaced, and then we headed off to the next one on the list.

Thanks to all the COs who put out and maintain the Wandering Heroes series !!

TFTC DarknstormyImages for your cache Wandering Heroes.. Team Holden that we found today.
WE are camped at the Football Oval for a few days exploring and caching around the area. Today the plan was to head along the Kulda Road finding Wandering Hero caches. We got to Martin Road and then detoured as the traffic along the road was getting a bit much for us. All caches found in good nick and pretty accurate co-ordinates.

Find count : 15772

Driven past, never stopped, but now realise it is in an obvious spot. TFTC DarknstormyImages.

Murray Bridge to Tailem Bend for an overnight stay.
After setting up in the spots ground we commenced with the Happy Armpit series & then continued on to find a few new Wandering Heroes.
In the afternoon we did the AL & a few of the local caches.
Hubby was really happy that we visited the motor racing precint.
We found some great caches & interesting locations during the day.
Thanks for placing your cache.

Targeting the Wandering Heroes series with Cheezel1961 on the bikes today. Doing about 35km on the bikes in perfect weather

Got stood up for a catch up with a friend today, but then weredunn4 proffered a day out caching at Tailem Bend……so here we are picking up some of these Wandering Heroes caches and a few others.
A great day for it

Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure. We started this series in 2014, today we are back to try to finish what we started just over 8 years ago. The standard of the cache creations in this series is impressive.

We are enjoying our time travelling SA. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs & wine. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-guided tour.

A nice easy wind down window and grab love it

Hi DarknstormyImages, I found Wandering Heroes.. Team Holden 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 DarknstormyImages for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

Of course cache would be there . Nice easy find .

Continue caching all day to find it here.

Borders are open (sorta) and Christmas is fast approaching so this can only mean one thing, WATBAC returns to SA to spend time with family and friends. This can also only mean one thing, that a caching day out with my geomum, Doctor Owl, was long overdue and very much needed (because apparently I am not great at finding time to go caching otherwise). So I sent a text to let Doctor Owl know that I was in town and Doctor Owl let me know that she had some maintenance to do on some of her Wandering Heroes caches. Perfect, there are a lot of them that I haven't done (in that I had previously only done about 10). So off we went...

"I'm not jumping a fence," said Doctor Owl. "Me either," I replied, "My fence jumping days are behind me". Evidentally we had not read the description well (or at all, if we are honest) because the next sentence was "Oh, there it is". Barely had to get out of the car for this one. TFTC.

Owl's geodaughter WATBAC was in town and this means caching! Owl had maintenance to do and an ever-increasing Wandering Heroes cache list to find so this was an obvious choice. A hot day so they took it easy and didn't even come close to finishing. However, the maintenance was done, WATBAC did her 700th cache and a good day was had by all. Owl pulled up and commented that they better not need to jump the fence - but they didn't!

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 Darknstormy.

We spent a couple of hours driving to Karoonda and grabbing any Wandering Heroes caches that have been published since our last visit and then completing the caches including the Lab cache around the nice little mallee town.
We loved the beautiful artwork on the silos and were very impressed by the facilities around town.
The playground and Pioneer Park are very impressive for such a small place.
Many thanks for the cache DarknstormyImages

After watching Giselle play netball up here, we thought let’s go geocaching. Found with superman_22 Giselle_12

Wandering through the heroes!

Quick find althoigh Gps wanted us on the other side of the road. Tftc

nice day for it, TFTC

Found it this time, can't believe I was that blind lol TYFTC

Saw this one before I got out of the car. Thanks Darknstormy.

11.01.21 tftc clearly the way to find this cache is to use a massive tool of the trade, my Holden geomobile

Came up to the GZ and found the entire area fenced off will try another day, not sure why the fence is there as it isnt private property.

Day 3 of our trip to SA with Wilbert67 . An early start to time day. Hoping the weather would stay at this temperature.
Good start to the day.
Last one for the day.

This evening, I decided to make the drive to Tailem Bend to attend the CITO event, hosted by a few visiting Canberra Geocachers. The park was very clean by the end, and to justify my long drive, I then did a large loop of the *Wandering Heroes* geocaches. My morale was high, and I ended up finding a significant number, with some great creativity that had gone into some of those hides. A late night drive back home.

I made the drive to do a full *Wandering Heroes* loop that were the closest to Tailem Bend; That is, along Kulde Road as far as Zytheran's cache, and then returning back along Westbrook Road. I had completed a few miscellaneous heroes geocaches along here, in particular the new-ish ones when I had been in the area with others, and so tonight it was a matter of getting in the right frame of mind, and getting to work. This geocache was a reasonably quick find, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Nice container! Thanks Darknstormy for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

That list of things that I would not know existed, if not for geocaching, grew today as I attended a CITO in a wetland that I knew nothing about[^]
During the CITO, my conversation with Otter61 turned to Aussie M & M[:X] which led to a phone call, a pick up[^] and a trip to Tailem Bend[^] to attend a CITO there which was being hosted by some Canberrians
By day's end I'd attended 2 CITO events and found 19 caches for the total of 21 [^]

Ducked out and grabbed the first unfound WH cache that both Mary and I needed[^]
This team change their name more than some people change their knickers
Clean is good though and good is this team[^]

Caching with locus cache today, and we decided to grab one WH cache as we were in the area. This one was close and neither of us had found it, so we headed this way. The log is a bit damp, but should dry out for summer.
TFTC and love the Team Holden hides and pathtags.

This was found as we wander this great country
While having a great day out
thank you Darknstormy for placing the cache

Grabbing a few caches before we leave The Bend.

Wow really lucky not to run over this cache. we looked and looked and eventually found it under our front bumper!

Appears the ring had rusted through. We replaced the ring and put it back where we think it should be.

Found with Bublyn TFTC

Found with Redrover09 Replaced wet log TFTC

Found this and several of the WH series/PT as with most Pt trails the caches were all easy to find with a few short searches thrown. Had pleastand day out in the country before it started to warm up and I started getting hungry. TFTC & the series I still have a lot more wandering heros to find.

Unlike my last trip to this cache, no roadworks today. A nice easy road side park and grab. Could have just about reached this one out the passenger window from where I stopped.

Thanks for the cache Darknstormy.

Day 174 (Thursday 20th) of our trip. Caching along the way. Left Millicent today. A total of 26 for the day and 3065 for the trip. TFTC

Out and about knocking off a few more of the wandering hero’s series. Cache and contents are all good. SLTNLN TFTC

That's a big bison

Thanks DarknStormy 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.

Unable to stop at this one today due to active road works.

We enjoyed a long weekend staying at Murray Bridge and caching. Thanks to the cache owners for adding to our fun and frivolity.

Catching up with very late logs.

We were coming back from Western Australia trying to again finish this series which we have now completed three times but it just keeps growing and growing.
There were two puzzles that we hadn't solved and one out of our terrain ability at the moment so we weren't to finish it this trip but we enjoyed visiting each of the wandering heroes.

We don't think that we have had the pleasure of meeting aTeam Holden nor have we found any of these caches

Many thanks Darknstormyr for the cache and for CP wanderer for starting this trail.

Love this cache! Awesome thanks

Logbook wet. We dried it a bit.

Thanks for the hide Darknstormy.

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.

Not a lot of room to pull off the road here but we did stop right at the cache. TFTC

Thanks for the hide

Mr Tardis was out on a caching afternoon, targeting a few Wandering Heroes caches.

I love a cache hide you can see before getting out of the car.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Darknstormy.

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

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

Hi there Darknstormy.

We found your cache **"Wandering Heroes.. Team Holden"** today. (This makes our find count 21615).

Today we headed out from Wellington to attempt the OTD (May) series as well as some of the Wandering Heroes. We thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds, but please excuse our boilerplate logs - we know it's not really a good excuse, but we find it difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day. [:(!]

We found 42 caches today & DNF'd 0. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found most caches within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking. [:(!] (We did have to look a little further afield for some though). [:(!]
**Cache Condition:** The containers and log books were mostly in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge in the majority of caches.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

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.

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.

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 Darknstormy 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 Darknstormy for this cache and to all COs for placing and maintaining this remarkable series. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.

Completed the nearby May series and started to head for home. This popped up on the screen so I had to stop to collect it. Biggest one of them I have found but it is not hanging anymore.
TFTC Darknstormy

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.

On a cruise to Tailem Bend this morning,
it was warming up
And after a few cache finds further up the road,
this lone, unfound cache popped up by the side of the road [:o]

How'd I miss it on me last few visits ??

Not too worry !!
A quick find here today

Had to provide a makeshift log as cache was empty and I halved. TFTC

A fun trail with honours for the wanderers.

Really enjoying all the sites and the history we are seeing
Thanks for the placement

My lad's mate needed to have a supervising driver to get some Learner's hours up. [^] His car, his petrol. Drive me to some out of the way caches and you betcha.

Just managed to get the car off the road enough and leave enough space to get out the passenger's side. [^] The cache was a quick find, just hanging around really.

**Thanks Darknstormy for this cache. **

Found is easy enough but log is damp and almost impossible to write on.

Was being taxi to and from The Bend for the V8s today so after dropping off it was off to the GEOPETS series, then some new Wandering Heroes down the southerly end of the series.
Have found all but one of the "Amongst the ..." series, it's a bit further away, and a multi
Log here was quite damp, took a stamp, but a pen would not be a good idea.
Thanks for the cache Darknstormy

Headed towards Berri for an evening event celebrating moneydork turning 15, so took this opportunity to find any Wandering Heroes caches and a bunch of others along the way.
The day started with hail, then rain, some sunshine, icy cold winds, more rain, clear skies and finally a chilly night.

An early morning start for 3LG and myself today. Started with cold temp and hail travelling from Tea Tree Gully to Nairne.
The sun managed to come out when stopped for this cache.
Only a little space left to sign on log sheet. TFTC

Stay at Murray Bridge for few days before heading to Adelaide from Melbourne to see my family and also a week break from work. Came here to do the Wandering Heroes caches for the day. Nice and found. TFTC!!

With the magical creatures souvenirs coming to an end soon, I decided I needed to grab a few more caches this weekend to knock most of them out. With a couple of events on not too far from some mostly untouched power trails, I made my way down to Murray Bridge, then spent the afternoon evening attacking the start of Wandering Heroes, as well as the start of the Popes series, along with a few others in between.

This was find number 26 of 72 for the day for me. TFTC Darknstormy!
