Basket Range 6: Cricket With A View Basket Range, South Australia, Australia
By Megatrick on 24-Jun-13. Waypoint GC4EY11

Found it! Circled GZ once before spotted its hiding place. Walked in past the club rooms and out over the fence and along the road. Never knew the oval was there! TFTC!

Im giving it a fave point for the good parking! Kayche24 climbed the fence and replaced the wet log book. Sounds of kids playing footy on this lovely winters day. Tftc

Good parking. Then lift that leg over the fence! TftC replaced soggy log.

TFTC log book is wet

Found! TFTC

Log is soggy so couldnt write in it. Tftc! Awesome views

Thanks! Might need a new notepad in this one.

Log book could do with a little bit of maintenance. TFTC

Found while on an Adelaide Hills caching day with LittleLeah79.TNLNSLTFTCTTFNBeaker DGS

TFCT. found with Beaker. Needs attention, little bit of water in bottom of container. TN, LN.

Out doing some pre Rally work for the Adelaide Rally grabbing caches along the way TFTC

Found!

Found! Fun first one.

Found on a morning out with Muggle Mum. This was a very quick find as it was quite exposed. Not sure if some camo had fallen off, but a nearby piece was utilised after I stamped the log and replaced the cache. Coords for all the Megatrick caches in this area are spot on, which is helpful for me as a relative newbie still.

There was a game of something happening nearby, but the cache was easily found without being spotted. TFTC

An easier accompaniment to the Love cache down the hill a bit. It’s on the inside of the fence, but if you walk to the corner you can see that the fence hasn’t been built to keep people out.

Thanks for the hide Megatrick.

a truck driver has to have a 15 minute break in the first 5.5 hours, another break before 8 hours and two 15 minute breaks before 11 hours or one 30 minute break. This cache was found in the second break. Strolled over and made a quick find, the container and log book are fine.

No luck

There no hint

When looking for this cache we got distracted by a comment in one of the logs. Once we realised that this was not going to lead to the cache, we followed our GPS to GZ where accurate coordinates led to a quick find. It was only then that we realised the meaning of the hint. Thanks Megatrick for the cache and good hide.

Nice find nice area

A quick find here, cache is all good

Today I set out from the morning from uni after doing some testing and with nothing to really do all day I decided to spend it caching. With an event in black hill in the evening I focused my search early on around the unley area before going up into the hills and enjoying the back roads before walking up black hill and collecting a few more caches.
All up 43 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

Thanks for the cache megatrick. Quickly found and in great condition

This evening after work, I was keen on completing the remaining *Something for Everyone* (SFE) challenge series, and so along the way, I visited a few other geocaches in the vicinity. I managed to see a few kangaroos about trying to feed as it approached dusk. It was a nice evening actually after it had been a warm day, so I enjoyed the solo geocaching spout, and helping to clear this area off my geocaching map.

I had a DNF here about six months ago, and now upon reflection, I'm not sure how I missed this one, as it was in a somewhat obvious spot. I think I was just looking lower than usual. Consequently, it was nice having a frown to smile conversion tonight. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. I'm just wondering if this cache is on private property at all, as you need to hop a gate/fence in order to access GZ? Thanks Megatrick for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Found @ 11:05 AM with Poppadon. Good hide, nice spot. Tricky terrain, nice day. TNLN TFTC

Found at 11:05 AM with XBRmob. Easy find when you look in the obvious place first!
Interesting location. All good.

Replaced cache with permission from CO. All good. Will keep an eye on it to make sure it stays dry.

Good find and a little wet TFTC

Took geo granddaughter to get this one close to home while she was here from Melbourne. Cache very wet. Log saturated and almost impossible to sign.

Quick drive by TFTC.

Not in the group but In a tree

Tftc:D
It is soaked through and log is damaged.
Dried it as much as possible

Needing a few finds for the day, I made my way into the hills after uni to grab a few more caches. Despite the cool nature of the weather it was still a pleasant afternoon as I drove my way through the countryside. An enjoyable afternoon as all caches were found in good condition at some beautiful ground zeros.

A nice winter day spent with @jesswrigley heading up into the hills and stopping at a few wineries during the Adelaide Hills Winter Reds event. There was a bit of geocaching in between our stops. We managed to visit Stirling, Lobethal, Balhannah, and finally around Uraidla.

I looked a fair bit for this cache, and hopped the fence to search the obvious locations. Nothing uncovered, and couldn't help to fee that this cache may be gone now? Perhaps it was just cache blindness for me today, so will watch and wait, cheers Megatrick.

Waterlogged and damaged

Found it. Soaking wet so may need a new container

A quick find but the cache was completely wet through [:o]

The log book was moist but still just signable so it was signed at 11:14 on Sun 24 March 2019.

Nice area... i hope i wasn't trespassing crossing the fence to get to this one [:o]

No one noticed so all good there.
TFTC Megatrick

Decided to have a little caching outing to start the day with Basket Range chosen as the destination. Unlike others from the Basket Range series, this one was a nice easy find. Contents were quite wet. I think water gathers where it is hidden, so it could do with some extra waterproofing in winter. TFTC

Great hide! TFTC

A nice hide but wet inside

Out for the day with Rod81w getting some of the SFE Challenge caches. [^] After completing those we just meandered through the hills stopping to get the caches as we drove past.
It was great driving around the back roads, very pretty.
The cache container and log were wet so we dried the container out and I had a new log and bag in the car so we replaced them.
Thanks for the cache Megatrick.

Out for a day with JJ52 heading out to do the SFE series trail. New log book in place.
Stopped by on the way home

Beautiful cricket ground with an interesting story. TFTC bro!

Today we traversed the area around Adelaide and then into the hills using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find at GZ.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

No cricket today. The question is can a 6 be hit to the cache?

Thanks to Megatrick and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Out & about with my friend & our dogs...we came to Basket Range to take a look around & grab a few caches...it was a gorgeous day for a Sunday drive...
What a wonderful backdrop to watch cricket...a lovely oval...nice and green...and flat...
Located the cache within the oval grounds...it is a bit damp but still managed to sign the logbook...

Thanks

Quick check and maintenance, all good.

Out with Mattycat and Sebastbat and along with a newbie, after a walk on the trails of Cleland a few easier caches were the way to finish of the day, needed torch light to find this one as the darkness had well and truely descended TFTC Megatrick

An afternoon of caches with Sebastbat, (Alex) our muggle mate,
and Mr Froghoppin, found us at your cache!
Hopped the fince on a foggy evening and soon had cache in hand.
TFTC Megatrick

A nice quick find after I realised that jumping the fence wasn't putting me on private property. Some strange artifacts in the yard over the road!

Thanks Megatrick.

Found on a wet Saturday morning while George was playing soccer with the Miniroos on the oval. Easy find. TfTC

**Out and about cleaning up some caches with Tomboy 711**...

A short stroll, a short search, found the cache, stamped the log and returned...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment Megatrick...

A nice spot here to play cricket that's for sure! Love the bush setting and the interesting house across the road. Are they channelling aliens? Found quite quickly. Took Toy Car, left Rope Bracelet. Cheers.

Found on a great day out in the hills, hunting smilies
Thanks for the cache Megatrick

Quick easy find after M o W. TFTC TNLNSL

There was soccer goals on the oval so I guess it's soccer season. Found on a lunchtime cache excursion to try and find some more in this lovely part of the hills. Thanks Megatrick for the adventure.

Uphill climb, over the fence, onto the road and then under the chain on the gate to end up just about where we started from ..... so funny! Beautiful invigorating walk with lovely views on a mild day with a gentle breeze and a wonderful friend teaching me about geocaching .... thanks Teee. ☺

Good spot!

T FTC I grew up in Basket Range so love the Megatricks series. Muggle neighbour came out at the wrong time!! He has a very large satellite dish. And seemed very curious about us although didn't speak to us. My niece was at cricket training the night the lightning hit. I remember cricketers have problems with cow pats..much nice oval now. Thanks again

Quick check. All good, happy hunting!

Nice swaps

easy once i realized we could cross the fence

Realitively easy, though I suspect we took an unorthodox approach route!

I had no idea there was an oval here despite having driven past a few times. Thanks Megatrick.

Found on my way home from work via Greenhill Road, the 'alternative route'. Thanks for the cache Megatrick!

Found It!
Quick find after getting myself on the right side of the fence...

Easy find, nice views!

A quick drive by once we overcame our concern at being blasted by a "Lazer beam" or whatever that device is across the road. And awesome views from up here too. TNLNSL TFTC
