Found it.
Cache is totally wet and unable to be signed. Looks like animal is sharing the hide. No top on the cache. Needs to be archived as it appears to have been like this for over 9 months.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Has served us well.

Found it log might need changing though bit damp

Seriously in need of mtce. Only one end on the tube and log
Is waterlogged

Found

Enjoyable walk through the bush. Found with emthegem. Tftc.

Found with TeamLauren. Thanks for the cache.

Found while on an adventure with tamzy a quick search and soon had the cache tftc

Found with CBJH1990 on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Suppose to be at home recovering from a cold but couldn't resist getting a few Geocaches! TFTC

This was a quick find in between showers late this afternoon. I'm happy about that since there were a few loud thunderclaps not too far away! Despite that, I love the bush in weather like this - only a light drizzle as I walked to GZ from Tolhurst Road. The cache container was missing a lid so the contents may get waterlogged if we have a decent fall of rain but today everything was dry and in good condition. Thanks for the cache Marto_1600!

Nice morning walk

We were surprised at how long this cache has been out there. Not great parking but the walk to the cache made up for it, SL TFTC

Our second cache found! Yay!

Another good find.

Found at 4pm nice quick find signed log TNLN thanks for the outing with muggle hubby in tow today.

Found cache with geoson and geosister Meekmink. Log needs replacing and some swaps were on the ground so we put them back. Thank you for the cache

Almost dark when we found it. Cache not in great condition. Needs new log book but good spot. Thanks

found it.

Took far longer than it should have - GPS struggled. Cache in good shape. TFTC

On way to Melbourne from Bendigo.
Nice drive on different road to find here.
Nice find
TFTC

Cache was just sitting in a stump. Clearly not where it is intended to be. The film canister had crumbled and so we removed it. I have attempted to make one end waterproof with tape and have put a new log in a ziplock bag. A visit and repair by the CO is desperately needed. Thanks for the cache!

Quick find, base is broken and log a little damp

Found with Bogonghazy on our long weekend assault of Castlemaine and surrounds. Thanks to Marto_1600 for another hide.

Another cache with a difference from Marto 1600, thanks for the story and the cache for Sully and I

Found lying on the ground.
Cache container could do with some TLC.
TFTC.

Found by DotG, SL TFTC

Thought I was parking in the best location but ended up outsmarting myself again. It really didn't matter in the end as I enjoyed the walk around the bush before finding a tricky little cache.

Thanks for the experience Marto_1600

Found with Stooy

Found with TheQuantumQuark while enjoying a stoll in the bush.. actually more of a run as we attempted to beat each other to GZ

Found after a short walk on a very quiet Sunday afternoon, TFTC.

Nice day for a walk.

Nice location and interesting cache configuration. Thanks

Found on 26/01/12 at 9:30pm. Find #474 by Paul.

I walked up through the spider webs to GZ - found the path on the way back!
Disturbed a few kanga-bouncers on the way.
Thanks, Robmc.

Nice and dry as it is Summer. Do we have any history about Polly & Tolly? TFTC

Nice hide in the bush. Thanks Marto 1600

Nice day for caching. TFTC

A quick stroll through the bush dodging the biggest and most intricate of Orb webs - they were like Eiffel Towers - giant 3D webs that were massive! Designed to trap the unwary cacher perhaps?
Great hide TFTC

Another day, another cache. Nice one .TFTH

Visitor sheet full and slightly damp. Watch out for the massive spider webs

Well hidden

Bit harder to find than I thought good to walk in the bush again

Found at 7.00pm. The Beautiful Angel needed some "L" plate practice on some dirt roads....so, we drove around and around looking for a few caches in this area....and this was the only one that we got close to. The cache was in good nick. The Beautiful Angel spotted it quickly. Had to wash the car when we returned to Bendigo. TFTC.

Great search! Log is now full!

Great hide. It was just a quick walk from the property below where we were having lunch at the cottage. TFTC did not sign log as we did forget to take pen oops

out on the bike again.. found pretty easily and dropped the top back in opppsss... it's ok I got it out again. Thanks.

TFTC TNLN

Easy find, but as previous loggers have said, photo is ruined. TFTC

Found it but had a little difficulty in extracting it. The photo is ruined
and the cache itself seemed to have been damaged. Tried to put it all
back together as best we could, although this one could do with a bit
of maintenance!!

Took a while to extract this one. Nice spot.

This hide was ruined - I found the photo first (it was faded and mildewy, but still recognisable) then found the hide. Maybe it has been pawed by wildlife? The container itself is kind of busted, and I tried to fix it as best i could, but we were in a bit of a hurry to get out of the sun and back into the airconditioned bliss of the car (I know, wussy Tasmanians!). I have an inkling as to where the cache should have been - so i put it there. I hope it's in the right place, but you may want to have a look at it. Thanks for the cache!

This was a tricky find but got there in the end. Due to the hot weather I also managed to log a locationless at this cache . TNLN thanks for the cache

My 107th find and 9th of 10 for the day.

Found with Hanseeka and Kaztrekka.
Nice walk to this one where we found the cache in no time.

9th Marto cache and the last on our clear out Marto tour (for today!) Thanks for the interesting day and showing us behind the scene of Axe Creek area. TNLN sl Tftc

Rated: for Overall Experience

Our last Marto 1600 cache for the day.
Will no doubt do more in the coming weeks.
Thanks for the caches.
Photo of Polly? and Tolly? bit faded now...!

We pulled up for a nice easy walk to gz, the cache was located very quickly but we aren't quite sure if it's hidden in the original manner as it looks as though it should be somewhere else. There's also a very faded picture wrapped around the outside of the cache. We're not sure if this belongs there or not. After we signed the log we replaced it back as e found it
Thanks again Marto_1600 for the cache

Found 12.15pm
Nice easy walk to GZ and despite being a micro the cache was a quick and easy find.

5th find of the day and 1940th total find at 11:45

A nice quick find after a pleasant walk in the bush. We are unsure about the meaning or purpose of the photo though. [?]

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing (Screwdriver wouldn't fit.)
Thanks Marto_1600 for the cache.
Ian and Penny

We found our 6th Marto 1600 cache at 4:25pm as the 17th of 24 on Day 3 of our "Where'd Bendy Go?" long weekend. On the way back out to the Orr caches, we made a quick stop off here. Thanks for the cache from D, H & A B-A.

Found by Mary & David at 1510. A quick find, and on again to the next cache. Once again, our thanks to Marto 1600.

Found this one this-morning. Nice walk through the bush.
Signed log.
TFTC

Found cache along with a photograph near GZ. Not sure if it had anything to do with the cache. Left GZ as found. No swaps made. TFTC

Found at 0800hrs
Another nice morning stroll.

A nice stroll into the bush and wait for the gps to settle a bit. A search of likely spots had the cache before too long in its good hide. Like others I suspect that the cache is not exactly as it was originally intended due to previous slippage but its still a good hide. Thanks.

After a few reports that this one didn’t seem quite right I headed out for a maintenance run. Sure enough you guys were right! It is now back were it belongs! Enjoy!

Nice easy find

Found 20/11/2007 @ 14:50

My GPS was all over the place as I walked in to GZ, and wouldn't bring me closer than about 35 metres for some reason.

It eventually settled down only after I'd left it on the ground and hunted for the cache in an ever widening search. Oh well.

The cache doesn't appear to be hidden as cleverly as its container suggests, but not knowing which nook or cranny to poke it into, I left it as I found it, although with a touch more covering.

TNLNSL

Thanks Marto_1600.

The cache seems to have been dislodged from it's intended hiding location.

Found 15:30, we suspect that this was a lot easier to find than intended, as the cache seems to have been dislodged from it's location.

TNLN, CSI=3, thanks Marto_1600.

The kids wouldn't get out of the car for this one becasue it was a micro. Coords were good today and the cache was located quickly. TFTC

Our third cache for the day back over in the Bendigo area. Nice, quite area for a stroll. GPS had us within a few minutes so we looked in a few likely spots and come up with the goods. SL. Thanks Marto. Cheers.

#11 of 24 finds in company with acts2youthgroup on our Castlemaine/Bendigo cleanup effort. We found this one at 1505. This was another mini epic! GPS signals are very inconsistent in there, and we were pushed from pillar to post looking for yet another flamin' micro in the bush! [:(!] Since the GPSr was apparently useless, we just looked at all possibilities, without success. In the end we rang a help line, and were told to look in a place that we had both already searched. We found it this time when Acts2YG looked harder. I made no exchange. Thanks to Marto_1600 for the cache. Cheers, dak.

Eleventh 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 15:05. This one took us sometime as the gps did not want to make up its mind, we tried several likely spots and came up with nothing, we decided to call a help line and soon found the cache in a place we had all ready looked. Thanks Marto_1600 for the cache.

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

I was curious as to the purpose of the name as I was driving to the cache. I searched the usual areas and finally came up with the cache, the coords were pretty good given the amount of coverage. Upon finding the cache I have an idea as to why it got the name it did.

Thanks,

R - B

Found By Bevfre 11.30am TN LN SL Thank You Marto

Oenze and I both switched on our respective GPS's having read previous logs and the combined magellan/garmin approach soon worked wonders with a logical and quick find. Thanks.

Find # 1744 and 6th of the day at 9:30am. Accompanied by Feathertop on another saturday out caching. Quick fid after the GPSr settled down. TNLN, Signed Log , Thanx Marto_1600....

2 of 9 finds on our Sunday of Marto Caches
Found with Chati and GeoLoch. Find # 231
Found after a short search
TNLNSL
Thanks

Found at 3.40pm.
We had been looking for this one for 15mins when Team Phetlern turned up.
4 pairs of eyes are better than 2 and Peter soon had the cache in hand.
Nice to meet such keen cachers.
As our next cache was the same, we traveled in convoy to
"Y here"
Well hidden in a spot I had looked at beforehand
Thanks
K&M

Late in the day we teamed up with team Pprass. After what we thought was a detailed search and frustration our newby participate Ben came up with the goods. thanks Marto

On arrival at GZ we found Team Derringer already in hot pursuit of the quarry. Joined in the hunt and we soon had the booty in hand. Great to meet some other like minded people.

TNLN SL ..... TFTC

Found at 5.35pm GAFF5. The 24th cache of our H & A Bendigo weekend. In the company of Hondo222 and Ben - and just as well as we were scratching all over the place. We were about to pull the plug even after a hint from Romax, but a determined Ben whipped the extremely well hidden cache (for a bush cache) out of a spot that we had poured over for ages. A good if not frustrating hide. Thanks Marto_1600.

Found by Roma and Max.
The thought of a micro hidden in a forest is rather alarming to say the least.
However your co-ordinates are always very good and this was no exception, and we must compliment you on the effort you go to constructing these minis!
Anticipating and finding good co-ords takes most of the pain out of this type of search.
We TNLNSL and thank you once more Marto_1600.
Romax.
