Having watched some disturbing YouTube videos about the Randonautica app, I couldn’t help myself and decided to try it out first-hand.

Selecting a small radius on the map around Parramatta in Western Sydney, the app managed to give me three random locations to investigate.

The first marker was situated within the boundaries of Parramatta Park, on the opposite side of the river from the stadium.

Accessing the park via a pedestrian bridge, I then followed the map on my phone until the target was within only a few metres.

Unfortunately there was nothing obvious or out of place when I reached the spot, and I came to the conclusion that the anomaly was most likely a tree stump. Perhaps there was something unusual attached to this location at some point?

I did create a short YouTube video about this adventure into Parramatta Park, which gives a decent insight as to how Randonautica works and can be watched via the link below.

My second and third missions took me to two different addresses in Parramatta.

As the map above indicates, one was on the fence of two private properties on Victoria Road – most likely the garage or shed underneath the marker, and shown in the photo below.

The other was an address on nearby Morton Street, and seemingly once again on the boundary of two private properties.

Of course, the footpaths outside these addresses were the closest I was able to go, but the Morton Street marker did appear to be on the nature strip adjacent to the house, but again there was nothing there that was either mysterious or noteworthy.

My YouTube video of these adventures is in the link below.

My overall impression of Randonautica is that at the very least the concept is intriguing. To be fair, I only operated within a very limited radius (only 1 to 2 km) and I am certain that if I expand on that at a later date then I might come across something of interest.
