Really enjoying this Yorick series as the containers are really cool and fit the theme perfectly, its great to see something other than a sistema under a bush.We signed our lives away in the book and went off in a cloud of dust to the next one.Cheers
On our way from Bendigo to Ledgerder national park we thought we would stop for a few caches in Malmesbury and Daylesford on our way.
After completing Razorback we did this series Ttfc
Sorry for the generic log

A weekend caching with k9team, we made our way towards Baccus Marsh first stopping in marlsbury and then Daylesford to pick up some caches along the way. Over the day we found 26 caches consisting of multi's Mysteries Virtual and traditional caches. Thanks to all the Co's for making it an interesting day.
Finding a multi cache near by we decided to drive to the end of the road and collect the rest of the caches before heading into town for dinner. Of course, there was always 1 more to find along the way and spent the next 3 hours making our way to Baccus Marsh for dinner.
Today's cache makes day 44 of my ongoing streak.
Tftc sorry for the generic log.

We enjoyed the camo of this cache and the start of Yorricks Odessey that we hope to be able to complete. Thanks for the cache
Next stop along the road and another neat container. Great to see a bit of effort going into the hides. Cache was soon open and the log signed. Not a bad day for a drive to explore the area.
Thanks mudbrick.....fav point added. Cache all good.

Out for some fun caching not too far from home. The cache is cool. The FLIES are not. HUGE ! BITEY ! ARGGH ! We were swarmed from start to finish on every single cache along this track. There must be something about the area that attracts them.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today, for without those who like to hide geocaches, there would be nothing around for those who like to find geocaches.

Another quick and fun find for this series in this beautiful part of the world.
It was an early start to the morning. After a breakfast event it was off to search the bush for Yorick! I joined a crew of explorers making their way on and off the trails to find this series of caches.
With lunch over and an afternoon caching stint complete with GemmaSistema, I teamed up with OzHockeyChick, chook and geoturtle37 for some final caches on the way.
Time for the torch to come out, fortunately a quick find.
Thanks mudbrick for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

A long overdue day out with Geoturtle37, exploring more of Lerdy with Chook(‘n’chunk). After a bushwalk chasing Yorick, a delicious lunchtime event, and a 4x4 trek to pick up puzzles, we teemed up with RoamingHowie to finish the day with some drivebys.
Had to be really quick at these last few as the night fell upon us.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, mudbrick

Great cache, I’m loving the series. Only wish I’d been fit enough to trek with the others between the two events today, but delighted not to have wasted the time, instead finding the ones accessible from the road, with Crustyvarmint
Thanks for the effort that has gone into creating this series.

Alas poor Yorick! I knew him NOT and really “there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” But either way I thinks this fun. And, yippeee -no disappointments and all approached with anticipation - the planets aligned and I made the trek from afar, bunked in the girliemobile for the night at Pykes and then headed to the brekky event followed by a tramp in the bush to find these fab Yoricks caches and then to the grand finale ’20 year celebration event’. This whole series has been totally rewarding and impressive. TFTC and the superb planning that has been created for our enjoyment. An odyssey indeed.
Whilst in the area to attend a nearby event, I went ahuntin' with CybergranV.
This series has really impressed me with the great imagination, and workmanship. We had quite a chuckle over the hides.
Thanks mudbrick. A job well done, and a favourite point given.

Found with dalerious and a group of cachers which included the illustrious CO of this magnificent series .
I had no idea what to expect when we placed this series of caches on our list to be undertaken between two events, in an area dalerious and I have not been to before.
The morning started early and we nearly missed the boat getting to the first event with just enough time to hastily pack a bag, say our goodbyes to the rest of the group who were not hiking with us.
Once on the walk, we caught up to a gentleman and said g'day . It was the CO himself. It was a lovely surprise to meet you as we didn't know you were there due to us missing the important introductions.
It was a pleasure to meet you, mudbrick .
I have never had the pleasure of doing a series to which each and every container was made with such great attention to detail, and as for the theme, well that was well and truly up my alley . The excitement was palpable, and we were all eager to get to the next cache to see what the container was going to be.
You kept the theme going perfectly, and we were in awe at how you found so many quality props for the hides [xx(].
I cannot say too much about our wander around this beautiful area, signing our name in a series that we will never forget, and will talk about for a long time .
mudbrick, you truly are a master of the game.
Thank you sir for the privilege.

As it turned out, #1 was the last.
Completing the whole series in one day, many with the company of the CO [^], this was the last trad for cat' and I to "exhume" having started from the other end. We were soon making our way to the final resting places of the final two "Mystery Yoricks".
"De-crypted [xx(]" with Catnap777.
Having had our fill of sausages, coffee and cake, we continued on from the event Celebrating 20 years of Events in Victoria to creep from crypt to remaining crypt exhumining the relics required to reach the final two Yoricks.
TFTC and series mudbrick. Never have we been so entertained by morbid reflection. [xx(]
All caches and contents were exhumed and re-intered with the utmost care. [^]

*Cache find # 11845.*
I had heard about this series some time ago but have never been in the area to have a look at it until today.
After a bit of Razorback hunting we decided to see how many in this series we could find but as it turns out we could only get to number eight as we couldn't go any further because of a manned road closer.
So now we will have to return another day to finish off this series, so far there as been so interesting hides, it will be interesting to see what the rest are like.

Out caching today with Stemicmitsar in another out west adventure. With this time having Lerderderg on the cards.
I havent been out this way since the 15 year event so it was awesome to be back in the area. With the main focus being caches around the Razorback.
Awesome day all in all thanks for the cache and the adventure.

GPS was a little off today but using the hint I found it really easy, cache it self is in good condition but the log book is very wet, may need to be replaced.
Thankyou for this cache

When i found this one and called my friend over i remarked I wouldnt like to find these if I didn't know what they were! Would make me wonder if there was a murderer at large LOL! I came over from UK in Feb to make my yearly visit to my best friend for 4 weeks and its ended up being a lot longer due to my return flights being repeatedly cancelled! The walking trail beside her house is so busy with people, and we are self isolating as she has low immunity, so we chose to come to a deserted area for our exercise. And deserted it was.
Alas poor Yorick...I knew him well..and I’ve got to hand it to him....he’s looked healthier in the past.
We were enjoying this trail very much...
.....until the fire arrived!

I started the Yorick series at the other end way back in February. Was nice to come to the start and make my way along it today. TFTC
Well, he seemed happy enough guarding this cache with that sort of grin. A great start to this trail. TFTC
This was a fun caching trail which we found, along with ilook4geo. None was a difficult find and both names were added to each log to record our visit. It was lovely to take a wander along this fairly quiet road and find each treasure. A favourite has been given for an interesting collect to sort through and learn about. Thank you to mudbrick for adding to the caching game by placing this cache.
Out for a caching run with goingplaces2. We found these caches which were a lot of fun. Each log was signed, all were put back into place and we were on our way to continue the hunt. TFTC.
Grabbing caches while attending the Pykes creek events. Quick park and grab on a freezing afternoon. TFTC mudbrick
Quick and easy find. On a very cold day thanks for the cache mudbrick
With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

We started our morning at a CITO at Pykes and decided we’d head out this way to try our luck. The cache container tickled the Chief’s funny bone!
Thanks for placing Yorick's odyssey 1. Alas Poor Yorick so we could find it. Many thanks mudbrick for the caching fun.

Found a bit of spare time today so I thought I would use it productively and find a few caches.
Headed up to the Blackwood area to add a few more smiley’s to my map.
After walking parts of the Ah Kow, Square Bottle and Razorback tracks it was time for a rest and a few drive by’s.
Picked up the first one in the Yorick series and must find time to come back and find a few more.
Loved the cache container for this one.
Thanks mudbrick TFTC.

We decided to head out for New Year and explore, we found ourselves in this area, and couldn't resist seeing if we could add a smile or two, The youngest member of our team loved this little series, we look forward to be able to return to see if we can add more smiles one day Thanks for the cache, and for the fun.
Gathering up caches as we headed home along the road less travelled, we made an easy find as it was beginning to get dark. After recording the clue we signed the log and left old Yorick in peace. TNLNSL. TFTC. KKams
We came to this area today to pick up a particular cache and decided to find a few others while we are at it. Sorry for the generic logs. SL TFTC
kenare, Sean.75 and I along with Stormy and Bailey headed this way for a few caches and lots of laughs today. We had heaps of fun finding a few different types of caches. TFTC
Alas poor Yorick indeed! After a quick search we soon had found him and were off again. Tftc
Tftc haven't seen any kangaroos yet in the forest. Maybe there are kangaroo skulls somewhere.
This was the last geocache for the day.
Thanks again for your series and humour mudbrick

Onward !!
