Slippery Emu Strathfieldsaye, Victoria, Australia
By Marto_1600 on 20-Aug-07. Waypoint GC15A9X

Cache has been moved, may need to be fixed

Served me well. May rebuilt it one day.

Clip had detached itself from the bottom of the structure, have rehidden at base of tree 1 metre away towards road...

Found some months ago can't remember the date

Suscoe's 23rd find of 25 on this delightful Saturday as this warm spell just rolls on and on.
We had an enjoyable day doing the rounds of Bendigo visiting caches here and there.
We were joined by the muggle sisters for a while and we had lots of fun with them.
This was a quick find here. Thanks to Marto 1600 but a bit of maintenance will be needed as the container isn't secure.

Easy find with no muggles around. TFTC

May need maintenance.

Easy find where there is no muggles
TFTC

We made it

Wacth out for the 8 legged

Nice easy find on the way back from the lake and we met a new bearded friend! TFTC TNLN

All quiet and all good at GZ. TFTC

Not a tricky find, although flexibility is certainly a crucial asset. TFTC

Quick stop and grab.
Good hide

Tricky at first, nice hide

Surprising little play area here. A quick grab and sign on a cold day. TFTC

Whoop!

Very cool little cashe good spot TFTC

This was my first find - hopefully the first of many.

I was sliding past this area when this one slipped into sight on my phone app, telling me to reserve the right to stop and have a playful look for the slippery emu.

Logged after enjoying the fun!

Found with Stooy

I have searched here before but the cache was missing last time. It was a quick find today with TheQuantumQuark as we knew where to look.
Thanks

I rolled to a stop in the geomobile and decided to read the cache notes for once
As I did a CFS truck drove out of the site.
Odd !!??
After they had left and I wandered in on foot it became obvious why [:o]
Some twit had set fire to the area in the last couple of days and they were checking that nothing remained smouldering on this High Fire Danger day
Some of the playground equipment has been singed, but the Slippery Emu escaped with it's feathers in tact

These locations always worry me a bit, but there was no-one here today so it was fairly easy. Thanks Marto.

Site looked quite smashed up. Not sure if the cache there or not.

Easy find if you read between the lines. Had to replace the cache container, had spare tin.

Found by The Empire with tackle_head @ 10:35am
One of the 46 caches we found whilst cruising around Bendigo on this beautiful spring day. Found half of the cache so added a log sheet for others to sign. My thanks to Marto 1600 for the cache.

Found with The Empire while on tour of Bendigo , found where the cache is supposed to be but was missing , we replaced " the Log " - tftc

This one may need to be checked by the owner to confirm it is still in play.

Found the spot but it seams to have slipped out and disappeared. Great spot though. Hope it returns

Found where i think it should be, but it was not there.

looked and believed we found where it was suppose to be

This really is a slippery cache. Found the spot where it was supposed to be located, but not there.

First one found and by accident, think we'll start to do this a bit now

Revisited this cache with friends and found two of them!!! There was the original one plus a new one in an easier spot just nearby.

As ronnienash mentioned once we paid attention to the title the cache was soon in hand.

Found it with DoorMatt, picked it up quick once we read the description fully. TFTC

The container on this one really need replacing as it is cracked and also a bit squased.
TFTC

Found with one of The 2 Wanderers.
Just after dark, no-one around and a perfect time to find it by torch light.

We had arrived in Bendigo and booked into our weekend stay unpacked then went out for more caches. This was a good time of the day to go for this type of cache, no one around in these type of areas. GPS took us right to the spot. Easy find

TFTC

Found, but GPS had me going all over the place, generally don't like play ground hides when I'm on my own but stuck it out until I found it. Clever little hide.

little bit slippery this cache tftc

Found during an afternoon of deploying Munzees TFTC

Found this one quickly by chance.It was handy to have something to wipe hands after this one today...........more sticky than slippery. Thanks marto 1600.

Nice little playground, kids loved it. TFTC

4 out of 4
this was a nice one
even in the dark
Found by Dad
eaten by mozzies
kids loved this area

I love these type of hidesin places where there is know one around.
Cache located easily...TNLswagSL TFTC

Took us ages and we nearly gave up but found in the end. Sadly the mozzies found us rather quicker

Up in Bendigo today for the Flash Mob and Marong meet and greet events. Met up with my mate Blacklegend (Marshy) and cached together for the day. Parked nearby, crossed the bridge and found the run down little park. Quick search of the area and we were signing the log. Thanks for the hide.

One find of 60 for the day with my good mate Marty (Quasar3671) and a couple of my kids, Jasmine and James on our second "Big Bendigo Cache Bash...." In town for the events as well of course. Cheers and TFTC.

We know this area quite well. We were taking the name of the cache literally but, eventually, located the cache. Interesting pioneer sign. TFTC

Found 9.45am
We enjoyed the drive to this one and were impressed with the facilities. As we followed the arrow to GZ it became obvious where the cache was going to be located and at which end. Nice hide and very dry too after all the recent rain.

Thanks Marto_1600

Found it! Good fun, 2nd Cache Ever, TFTC, Brief Search, Nice area

Great! TFTC

Nice park area - no muggle at all - just me.... Found it - good one... SL. Thanks Marto_1600

Nice hide this one, well done.

Well...my geo accomplice, Georgie found this one. I don't know whether I would have. Clever little cache. TFTC

Bluey's best effort of the day. I was convinced it was at another nearby structure but came up dry. TFTC. Good job Bluey.

Relatively easy find. Coords spot on. Didnt know this reserve was here. TFTC

Second time lucky don't know why I couldn't find this one the first time , great hide

nice quiet place to go for a ride not too many cars, quite a few riders.. and a rest and little play at center .. thanks.

This was a funny one. Bibi was on a role and found this cache in no time. While I was signing the log and replacing the cache she managed to stumble on what appears to the be original cache. So we signed that too! Seems the people that muggled the original didn't move it too far. Have sent the owner a message with the location of the original cache.

TNLN SL TFTC.

Bibi & Bane.

Found this one at last the same spot i looked back in Dec.

Thanks

Found by CCno.3. She brought it back to the car and we did a bit of repair work to it. It had split its side. SL TFTC.

Hard one to spot - nice hide! Thanks.

Forgot our pen, didn't sign the new log book, left 5c.
TFTC

Found the Slippery Emu and the cache holding device was empty, so been Christmas we replaced the cache with a new film container.

Did this one on way to Bendigo to find it has been muggle.
Looked around no sign of it.
Thanks

TFTC

Gotta love a quick park and grab! The wasp's nest on the nearby building was interesting too - much prettier than the usual mess they make! Thanks for the cache!

A very easy find. Found a cool wasps nest on the nearby building. Thanks for the cache

My favorite type of cache. TNLN

14 of 14 finds today at 1515. We pull up at GZ and the phone rings, Mrs VKC's conference has finished so this was our last cache for the day. Saw GZ and the cache name became clear, a quick find.

Found with the family,

Nice little hide for my 100th traditional!
Had a hit of tennis after finding the cache before it started storming...

So we came back today and there was no mugglemus.

found this one easily. The Kids had fun on the equipment even though they are bigger than it! We all had a family game of tennis too, as the gate was opened. Thanks for the fun afternoon.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Yay! My first ever find!! How exciting. Was just about to give up and come back with a junior pair of eyes when I thought I would check 1 last spot. Bingo!
Next time I will pay more attention to the name of the cache. You learn and live
A great experience and yes I am well and truly hooked now!

Found at 1425. Had to wait out a muggle but as soon as the coast was clear a quick find was made. Thanks Marto_1600.

Was out this side of town to visit friends and realised this one in area. GZ found without to much trouble and as no muggle activity SL quickly and out. TFTC

Found at 0900. Last find for the day as I had to get back to Wodonga. A quick search around GZ and the cache was spotted in the obvious spot, although the hiding technique was a little awkward.

Thanks.

Nothing happening here today, except for us caching. Even the play equipment was empty. This made for a quick find.
Thanks, Robmc.

Possibly the easiest and quickest find of the trip. No muggles and found the cache in the first place I looked. Found some nice shade to park in next to a picnic table, the unfortunate part was that we couldn't stop for the picnic. No Time for that, caches to get!
Thanks again

Easy find today. Walked in a bit, and then headed for the obvious for a quick find. Thanks marto_1600 for the cache.

Coming back from Robinvale after doing the fireworks for the ski Race we were happy to pull up here and find out that no one was using this recreation area, it may have been difficult at gz if they were. This made searching quite easy resulting in a quick find.

Thanks Mato_1600 for the cache

Fun find. Mister M found this one.

Both juniors loved it.

Thanks KBRM

We found our 5th Marto 1600 cache at 4:10pm as the 16th of 24 on Day 3 of our "Where'd Bendy Go?" long weekend. Whilst I stayed back at the car a little while to take a tablet "H" had already gotten to GZ and made the find. I love it when you see the name of a cache and you think it means one thing, then..... Thanks for the cache from D, H & A B-A.

Found by Mary & David at 1630. Knew where to look as soon as we saw GZ. Just as well the area was deserted. Our thanks to Marto 1600 for providing so many caches to keep us busy today.

Found at 11.35am GAFF1 in the company of ian-and-penny on a "weening the Stuart's off their 3 month trip around Southern Australia" weekend.
As we approached GZ there was a huge crowd there. Turned out to be the weekly meeting of the local bike riders club. They didn't take any notice of us and the cache was quickly found. Haven't seen that holding method before. Thanks Marto_1600.

Found @ 11:45 AM (Cachemate time)

Found in the company of pprass, on our caching and winery weekend. When we arrived, the place was crawling with cyclist muggles, but we still managed to grab the cache undetected

Kinny kritters were on the track with this. Great hide, kids enjoyed , so did the big kids.

4stubbies and kinny kritters went a hunting and soon found this one no worries.

I liked this cache when I approached gz it all became clear about the name a clever little hide Thankyou

5th for the evening, all placed by Marto_1600. Lazy hour and a half after work

The place was happily deserted when I arrived and the cache found quickly. Thanks to Marto_1600 for the cache and an interesting variation on the style.

Rode past this one on the way out to the clusters of caches SE of here, but the facility was being used by a multitude of people. Upon returning the hordes had departed, and the cache was located quickly. A neat little hide.

Thanks!

Found 12:40, as we drove toward GZ, we pondered the meaning of the cache name. When we arrived the meaning quickly became apparent and shortly thereafter the cache it self.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks Marto_1600.
