Y Here Emu Creek, Victoria, Australia
By Marto_1600 on 15-Aug-07. Waypoint GC155MP

Not sure about being an easy drive... it's in the middle of nowhere! But... found it, TNLN. It needs attention, though... it's getting REALLY wet!

Lid is broken and container is getting water inside. The log is rather damp.

Found suprisingly quickly by GeoKeegs and his cousin. All wet (I didn't read all of the previous logs before heading out - guess I should have). SL TN L- footy cards. TFTC

1448 A+ and myself notched up our 2nd Marto for the day and our 101st GC cache. I was surprised at the good condition of roads and tracks in this area as when we went through a couple of years ago, they almost required 4WD.

A quick find and as recently reported, all contents very wet. Good bit of work Marto but a new lid and a portable hairdryer are sorely needed. TNLN, TFTC.

Another day, another cache. Nice one .TFTH

Container full of water and lid perished. Needs rplacing. Notebook also sodden

Both Clancys rd and Orrs rd from NW closed. Walked in. Biggest spiderwebs we've ever seen and saw a wallaby. Cache waterlogged and needs maintenance

3rd find of 6 for the day. Another one in Neish's hands in no time. TNLN SL TFTC.

whew... long ride for me 15kms just to get here. T

After doing some orienteering close by turned on the GPS to find a few caches in the area. After a bit of a walk we quickly found the prize. TNLN TFTC

We decided to walk from the last cache 'Rocky Reef' to this one as it was within a reasonable range. A nice easy stroll through the bush.
A clever hide. Left Heinz TB- It's on a race around the world for 1 year so hopefully someone can move it along again soon.
A stroll back to the car and then on to our next Marto cache.

This was a well prepared cache and deserved to have better swaps...So I gave it the best item I had on me "a matchbox caR"...I took nothing. TFTC...and thanks for the series of caches....It filled my Sunday in...

Found 9.40am
Spotted the hiding place from the car so this one was almost a drive by.

Thanks Marto_1600

Found it!

Quick swap for a Barny Rubble. Detective Spiderman will love this treasure.

Yep, definately a drive by.
A nice and cool dusty drive round the bush for a sunday.

A different hide for a bush cache - makes a nice change

Y not indeed? TNLN Thanks!

Y not? This proved to be an easy find. TN left pathtag thanks for the cache.

My 103rd find and 6th of 10 for the day.

Found with Hanseeka and Kaztrekka.
Found this well hidden cache in no time : )

Continuing on from Rocky Reef again with the sun shining we pulled up here for another quick find. We were surprised by the size of the container. This one was also slightly damp inside but we have had a lot of rain.
Thanks again Matro_1600 for the cache

Nice easy find while up in the area to maintain my caches, and try out my new gps

Thanks Marto-1600

found it wet and cold

Logging all my old finds....

We found our 7th Marto 1600 cache at 5:40pm as the 19th of 24 on Day 3 of our "Where'd Bendy Go?" long weekend. Both TomTom and Tracks4Australia were once again useless in navigating to these caches from the south. Neither showed any good access and my best guess took us 3km up a shoddy dead end track. Eventually, we navigated to 650m east of the cache and we parked at the end of a good but dead end road about 200m south of the Rocky Reef cache. I made a bolt fot this one whilst the others headed for the other. I arrived and found in double quick time and almost disappointed that there were three perfectly good tracks heading to the cache that I was unable to locate (but I did locate the access later). Thanks for the cache from D, H & A B-A.

Found by Mary & David at 1430. Enjoyed some other tracks on our way here. TomTom would lead us on a merry dance if we gave him his head as he doesn't know about many of the tracks around here. Our thanks to Marto 1600 once again.

Found at 4:34pm

Couldnt think of what this cache meant but when we arrived it all made sence like you said!

Thanks

2nd attempted for this one this time with updated coors I should check more often my cache sheets. A neat hide thanks Marto no swaps made

Found at 0800hrs
Great morning to be out in the bush.

The last of the caches in this area for me. Once at gz the name made a lot of sense and a well-done cache by Marto_1600. Thanks Marto for the fun.

Found heading home to get ready for work. Dropped off Toucan Play at that game TB and Team Clovis Glittery coin

Spent a minute or two scratching around GZ before coming across the cache. Have read about this type of hide in before, and this was the first one I have encountered in the wild.

Retrieved 4 x TB, as they have been here for some time. Left 1 x TB.

Thanks!

Found 15:15, we wondered around in circles hunting high and low until suddenly we noticed the something that gave meaning to the name of the cache.

TNLN, CSI=3, thanks Marto_1600.

We searched a large area for a while butneeded to crack the clue on this one - soon located it. Nice to see a larger sized container. Lots of TBS in here. TNLN TFTC

#12 of 24 finds in company with acts2youthgroup on our Castlemaine/Bendigo cleanup effort. First of eight Marto_1600 caches in this pocket of bush whose tracks have apparently escaped the map surveys! We found this one at 1525. Nice to see a larger cache, after a string of micros in the bush. I took the opportunity of depositing a few Travel Bugs. Other than that, I made no exchange. Thanks to Marto_1600 for the cache. Cheers, dak.

IN: Käptn Blaubär 2 TB, Travel Bug Golden-Team 1 TB, Krazy King TB
OUT: Nothing

Twelfth of Twenty-four cache finds for the day in the company of dak’s Emu Mob on our fourth Bendigo assault, the cache was found at 15:25. Yes why here, this one was a nice quick find. I dropped off the Bug me TB. Thanks Marto_1600 for the cache.

Another find for The Rebel Alliance. L.L.T.R.A

The name is a nice change from "X marks the spot"! It was great to have a good size container and I grabbed the TB to move along.

Thanks,

Oenze and I returned to this area for round two with Marto with a further six caches on the agenda. We both liked the way the cache name was incorporated into the cache location. TNLN

Find # 1740 and 2nd of the day at 8:29am. Accompanied by Feathertop on another saturday out caching. Easy find even left GPS'r in the car. TNLN, Signed Log , Thanx Marto_1600....

Fourth find in an hour. Picked up TB Marto's world trip 07; dropped off Trgdor

About to head out and put my Travel bug in.
His name is "Marto's World Trip 07".
If you can help him that would be great.

Updates coordintates. Should be an easy find now. Sorry to those who tryed and failed! Enjoy!

Last of 9 finds on our Sunday of Marto Caches
Found with Chati and GeoLoch. Find # 238
Found after a extensive search. Co-ords were 15m out!
This would have eluded us but for a chance meeting with Derringer who noticed out car and dropped off for a chat at a nearby cache. We had arrived here earlier and searched for over an hour down the hill, but came up with nothing. Searched further, but missed the actual hiding place by mere meters!!
Found later after a short search, armed with some helpful advice!!

Thanks

Found by Team Phetlern at 4.10pm
We teamed up for this one.
Both our GPS's told us that GZ was on the opposite side of the road to where we eventually found it.
Peter even moved his car in case he had parked over it.
We both found the cache to be 15m away from our indicated GZ.
Good to see a regular container, not a small one as advertised.
Thanks to Team Phetlern for their companionship during our 2 cache hunts together.

Thanks

We had a tip off with this one so it didn't take that long, however we did enjoy the clue, just before we were about to move off team Pprass turned up and after good chat we teamed up to complete further Marto caches in the area. TFTC

16:10
Found in company with Team Derringer. Good thing they were with us or we might have given up - thanks guys. Knowing the area, as soon as I saw the cache title I guessed the rough location but it took a little longer to find than we expected.

Found at 4.55pm GAFF2. The 23rd cache of our H & A Bendigo weekend. We approached GZ half expecting to meet up with Hondo222 from the logs of the caches we had previously done - and there he was with Ben! We had a long chat at GZ and then we started looking. We knew the co-ords were a bit out so we widened our search and then after a bit of a nod from Ben we found the neat hiding spot - so that is why it is Y and we thought it was because of the ......

8.45am
Found by Roma and Max.
We called in on this one late yesterday afternoon, and being lulled into complacency by Martos accurate co-ordinates at all his previous hides, we failed to make a find. We photographed our determination of GZ and emailed this to Marto.
On our way down to Mia Mia on another search expedition this morning we called in again and widened our search area, together with some overnight thought as to the caches name, and made our find. We were only about 5km away when Marto contacted us to say he was at the cache. We returned and together took a number of readings with both our receivers and decided the posted co-ordinates were acceptable, if not as spot on as usual!
We left one of our usual Mondo Figurines for the cache and took a Beaded Dragon Fly as a memento.
Thanks Marto_1600, having fresh geo blood in this area will be appreciated by all searchers.
Romax.

After many checks and a meeting with Romax, I have decided not to alter the Coordinates. If you have trouble, widen you search.

Thank you and Good luck.

Thanks Roma and Max, nice to meet you both.

my coordinates appear to be a little out sorry will fix asap.
