Game Set and Match #83 - Pooraka Pooraka, South Australia, Australia
By OZGrumpy on 01-May-22. Waypoint GC9R0QD

Found while heading North for a CITO with sir_spectre. Thanks

Detoured on route to the Island Clean Up CITO. Stopped and got some numbers. Quick find at the final. Another one down in this series. Another multi closer to 1500.Found with Mogni. Today we came to attend the Island Clean Up CITO so i could get 5 CITO's in this calendar month. We stopped on the way on the Adelaide CBD to do some adventure labs stages to get some more points for the cosmic quest souvenir event. Then got a few more caches after we got sick of adventure labs on the way to the CITO.

Woo hoo! We found it. This is our first multi cache ??. Thankyou. Looks like we are the first to sign the logbook in this one. TFTC.

Tftc!! Found it out and about. Had a rough guess of where it should be.

Enabled. Cache tree still there, branch still there. I moved the cache by about 5 metres south to be more obscured. Replaced. Game on.

will need to check this one

There's been some recent Tree cutting around GZ, so it might have been removed

TFTC!

A quick find today. Thanks OZGrumpy.

Will try again

Found It!Stopped here after the nearby CITO event. Counted the courts and then walked to the final location for a quick find. What happened to the BFE cache that used to be here?TFTC

Whilst we are travelling already towards Albury in Victoria, I am still checking which caches I hadn't loggeld yet. This is one of them.We had extended our stay in Adelaide after the MEGA Leapyear events and were still refreshing our memories, enjoying new places and doing some caching.We passed this area several times during the first fortnight in March. We found the cache and signed the log.Tftc OzGrumpy

Out and about with TBU1BIKESU for more smiliesTftc

quick find, log book and cache in good order TFTC

I just happen to be taking a stroll around the area, and thought I would give this one a try. No problems with the calculations, and found the container easily. TFTC!

The Crazy Geo Driver stopped by to find this one.
A quick easy find, after visiting the muggle son. Tftc

Found! - lucky we had someone tall with us.
Thanks for hiding!

That's a clever hide.

TFTC

Very good!
Glad I had Chookster with me, this cache needed the TOTT he provides that I don't have! Nice to tick off another GSM, in an area I don't visit very often, and to find another well constructed and nicely hidden cache.
TFTC OZGrumpy

Did a few caches up in the northern regions with naughtybunny and this was one of them. We got the clues easily through other means and calculated GZ. The cache is very well hidden and out of the way of all the junk that's around here. We were cursing as we approached GZ as we thought it was just another cache plonked in the usual "hiding" spot but was so happy it wasn't. Still went to the courts to have a look afterwards and take a photo as I always need a photo for my records. TNLN. Cheers.

After playing the match a while ago it was back today with all I needed to be able to grab the cache. TFTC

Went to the Endeavour College Fair today...a pretty good show. But while I was out that way I collected a few caches. I played a few sets on these courts a few years back. TFTC

LTF

A nice quick find

A pleasant day and not much on so I slipped out for a few hours to find a few caches, including this one.

I have been watching the number of caches that interest me in the northern suburbs growing recently and there now seems to now be enough that I haven’t found to make a trip out there worthwhile.

A quick find here today. Cache and contents are all good.

Thanks OZGrumpy for the cache.

Yay another multi ticked off the list! Had to use some natural tools to get the elevation required then a nice quick find. Nice to see lots of kids at tennis practice at the courts tonight. TFTC OZGrumpy

A few late logs in these few uploads of finds,

After a break due to the bad weather we have been experiencing of late the Adder once again joined the Starfish and the Mule to get a few more smilies on the map.
Meeting the Mule and Starfish in North Adelaide where Mr Mule needed to get a high terrain find of B&J's Beetle and was in need of a few long reaching TOTTs to complete the task. With that done it was off to the Rats den for lunch and a few finds on the way.


All caches were in good condition unless noted otherwise.

One that I have been wanting to get for some time, passing by GZ on a number of occasions to visit the daughter however with time against me it had not been fruitful. A dedicated caching day made this possible at last.



Thank you for the cache OZGrumpy Find Number 10038 on 1/11/2022

Another Tuesday Trekking for some members of the Befuddled Puzzle Solving Group. [^] AnyMules was on Holidays, Brisal had a new 10 meter TOTT pole and wanted to try it out. Blackadders was looking at the weather but decided he would be in anyway. What's a bit of water from the sky, strong winds, thunder and hail anyway - no reason to stop caching. So we Christened the day TOTT Tuesday and set of in search of caches where we could use TOTTs.

Another solution from the Google armchair. Parking was the only problem so we walked a few hundred metres to be safe.
No TOTT required here for a quick find whilst in the area and on our way to the next TOTT cache.

***Thanks OZGrumpy for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

The weather had cleared up nicely by the time we got to this one. Made searching a lot more pleasant.

I found this D1.5/T1.5 Multi-Cache on 1/11/2022 at 11:34. It was find #15709 for me. Thanks OZGrumpy for placing and maintaining this for us to enjoy in the wonderful state of South Australia.

I visited GZ a few months ago and sadly walked away empty handed. But today, on tippy toes, I found and retrieved the cache without problems.
Another great cache in this ever growing series.

Thanks for the cache OZGrumpy.

Out on the bike enjoying a stunning Sunday Spring morning and collecting a few caches along the way
Did the sums from the comfort of home last night for a quick find, sign & return today
TFTC

Checked last night. The camo and cache is portable and it has creeped a bit. Last cacher returned it to a highly visible spot with camo on the wrong side.

I have swapped out the cache, it is now fixed in place. You now must be on tippy toes. Put back properly please

Found by BFE

Nice hide.

Another late night on way home from work find

TFTC SL

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Out running an errand and the drive took me past the area so made a small detour in to make the find. Parked and gathered the information required and assembled some coordinates that looked OK. Locked the car and went for a wander to GZ. Arrived at GZ and quickly found the cache. Signed the log and then replaced all as found. Now back home.
Gratias pro cache OZGrumpy

We came north of the city this morning and along the way, we stopped for this cache. Data collection was straightforward. From there it was a short walk to GZ where accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks OZGrumpy for another in the Game Set and Match series.

Owl was out on a long overdue maintenance run and rewarded herself with a cache for every cache maintained. This was an extra on the way home in anticipation of one to be maintained around the corner from the Owlery. Quick count and a quick find of the usual quality cache.

Made a sliced backhand to retrieve this one. Thanks OZGrumpy for another fine match.

Cache #11573
Needed to head over to the other side of town for another visit to the doctor so of course had to find some caches as well. Must have found too many as ended up being 10 minutes late instead of being early as usual. Ended the day with 2 Game Set and Matches, 3 of my old favourites, traditionals and 4 Used 2B a Churches.
After missing the turn in the first time past it was a couple of (legal) U-turns before GZ was calculated, followed by another two U-turns and a quick find and stamp after a short walk.
Thanks to OZGrumpy for putting out this cache for us to find.

Out for a Tueday exploration with Mattycat in the big smoke, always easy mid week on a damp cold day to find these areas muggle free, info collected before making the stroll to GZ and collecting the prize after a bit of a stretch
TFTC OZGrumpy

A day out with Mr Froghoppin brought me to your cache.

After a quick calculation at GZ1... wow that was quite a serve to send the ball right over there
Found cache just hanging around neatly disguised.

Thanks OZGrumpy for hiding and maintaining this little cache on our geo-game map

Moving around, spotting and signing cache logs alone or with family and friends using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S21u, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just plain old dumb luck Plenty of that luck business actually !!!

Caching is a hazardous activity!
Keep a lookout for sand traps, snakes, surprise cliffs, boxing roos, wombats, things falling from trees, bulldust, and floods,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall off your ladder...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for germs and bugs !!! . [xx(]

Try to keep Travel Bugs as the only bugs you share and pass on
Now there's no real restrictions - even more important to sanitise and safely distance!!!


Really good of all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside areas,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

Thanks heaps for reading all this addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, apparently! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log

Eventually the cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

Numbers were calculated at home and we parked nearby and made our way to GZ.

Found the cache on the ground but replaced it up higher.

TFTC

I had been out with Otter61 after a breakfast event and it was decided that we would come out here to find this cache before going our separate ways. [^]
I had worked out GZ when the cache was first published so knew exactly where we were going.
We had some intel from Team Waldron and Featherwaite who had been here earlier so we were able to use a natural TOTT to retrieve and replace the cache.
Thanks for the cache OZGrumpy.

I hooked this one just above head height. Some say it’s too high to reach, others say a tott is required, something tells me it’s moved. When I return from OS I will update this one to be fixed in position.

Found with Team Waldron during a caching circuit around the suburbs after attending the '7am Caching Catch up - #024 - VBA' event. Can confirm that the cache is not too far over head height, with ideal natural retrieval devices nearby. Thanks for the cache OZGrumpy!

JJ52 and I ran into FeatherWaite/Team Waldron in Woodville - they had just come from this one, I was needing a multi, JJ52 hadn’t done this one, so this was the ideal candidate to round out the morning.

We were forewarned that a TOTT might be needed, and it turned out that nature had provided the ideal implement for us. We’ve left it at GZ for the next cacher.

Nice work on the cache OZGrumpy, thanks once again for this ongoing series, and I hope you’re having a great holiday where you may be today.

First for the day and it's always good to start with a find .
Lots happening today, so it was a short drive around to a few caches this afternoon [^].
Overlooked the obvious at first . TNLNSL.
Thanks OZGrumpy.

Another game today. This time the showers had stopped. It was a bit of a walk - felt like court 19 by the time I’d found my match. Lobs are the order of the day at court 19… nice to see this has party lights at night as well!!

Thanks OZGrumpy and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

Stopped by at stupid o'clock this morning for match on way to work..
The last lob is a doozy! If you are not of average male height or taller, then you will have trouble with the last smash (log retrieval), without assistance...
I've got a few of those baggies and moisture saches at home now too!
TNLNSL
Thanks

After no luck with an FTF in Woodville area I was on my way back home and a few more dings on the phone, 2 new caches again, just so happened this was on my way home and was easy enough to work out. So parked up and made my way to a familiar GZ.
Took some finding in the dark that’s for sure but managed to find the nicely hidden cache. Virgin logbook signed.

Thanks for the cache
