EMS #5 Not that easy Broadford, Victoria, Australia
By Rallywrxwagon on 23-Sep-06. Waypoint GCYF4P

Aha, that explains it!
Had an attempt at this one however not only could we not find the cache but also it appears the tractor has been taken away as well
The problem with working from old GPX downloads
Cheers

Not that easy is now impossible, the local council has decided to move the anti-aircraft gun and enclose it in a no entry fence. If I can gain entry I will remove both the proper cache and the red herring cache.

Found at 1400. Found a few of these now.

SL. TFTC.

We spent far too long looking for this item. Could not find the number on the tractor either so had to make a couple of presumptions which turned out correct. No one took much notice of us today which was fortunate.
SL, TFTC Rallywrxwagon.

After some un-necessary walk due to our own error we found the cache! Good fun and introduced some geo-muggles to the sport.

Stopped for lunch in this little town today nice to have two caches to find Was surprised to find three logs in the RED HERRING Cache Whoops!! 22/4 Thyla n Thylo 30/6 GGKof and Davroy and they had no end of trouble getting past the muggles too. You were hot! as they say to the real cache. Thanks Rally glad I saw the Red Herring on the back of the paper

This cache is certainly not easy if you jhave spent your previous two visits searching the WRONG object at GZ. I must have mucked up some of the multi because when Oenze told me where I should be looking it was a ridiculously easy find. Anyway the saga is now over. Thanks Rally.

fourth find and number 199 for us today and we are on our way to pick up number 200 next. This is a great litl jaunt and had fun completing it ... will definatly come back and have a bash at the rest of your series. Very nice and enjoyed it. TFTC.

Found by Facitman and s-facit at 10:02am
While waiting to meet up with Rhinogeo and Malby the Geohound we started this cache. s-facit's teeth were chattering as it was icy cold in Broadford this morning but a run around for clues soon warmed us up. s-facit found the EMS cache after a very brief search.

Thanks Rallywrxwagon

Found @ 1:40pm.

Took 3 tries, as per ggkof's log. Still, it gave us time to do the others in town.

Found @ 13:35. Just like Robmc we found it "Not that Easy" Also took DAVROY and myself 3 attempts. Ist attempt the playground area had lots of muggle children in it. 2nd attempt we gathered all the clues but were spotted by the local historian checking out the tractor. He came over and told us the whole history of the thing including the fact it was driven to it's current spot. By this stage the park was again filled with more muggle kids. 3rd attempt the park was empty and having already calculated GZ, we soon had our 8th cache for the day in hand. Thanks. TNLNSL

I can't believe that it took 3 attemps before there were no muggles sitting on GZ . Luckily there were other caches to do around the area so we kept coming back until the coast was clear.
Interesting object across the road.
Thanks for the multi, Robmc.

Nice easy multi, good to be able to stretch the legs. Great hiding spot. Signed log.

Another we nabbed on the way back home from Melbourne for the weekend. I am startiing to become an 'expert' in old war machinery, at least clambering over them . Worked out the maths and plugged in the coordinates. Thought we had it at one stage, but alas. D eventually found it and we logged our claim. Might borrow some of these ideas for one I will place shortly . TFTC and history lesson Rallywrxwagon. Cheers.

We pulled up here on our way back from Robinvale with fullonphil and Emily. Whilst fullonphil went to collect the required information, Diane took Emily to the nearby playground and I went directly to gz as this was my third attempt. The cache was located in the first place I looked and I had the log signed before Phill had collected the first piece of information. I then wandered off with Diane and Emily to watch Phil search for the cache which he found in the third place he looked.
Thanks rallywrxwagon, one left in this series for us now







Pulled up at this great little park on our way to Wagga. Had the area to ourselves while we collected the information and worked out GZ. As we approched GZ a lady with a small child decided the area was where she would set up and play for a while. We headed off and had some lunch to returne to an empty park and started searching. Again 2 mums decided to settle down right near GZ to entertain there childeren. We called off the search but not before finding some tomatoe sauce that had been left behind, this got me excited for a second.
Thanks Rallywrxwagon we will return.

Found @ approx. 14:25

3rd for the day.

Found with the assistance of "Team Wallan", out for a day of communal caching.

What a charming little park, with a little bit of history thrown in to boot!

Collected the relevant info. while the troops refeuled.
As soon as GZ was found, the hoards descended on my position to take up the search.
Quickly located.

Thanks for the hunt, Rallywrxwagon.

Found @ approx. 14.25

Found with Scubacrazy.


Senior member of Scubacrazy gathered imfo while the rest of us refulled and took awell earned break.
Once imfo was gathered we all pounced.

Thanks for the hunt.

Got the coords. Will let the kids work it out and finish on another day. Thanks again Rallywrxwagon. DILEMADA

Found with the Coffee Clan and Mystery Inc

Found with the Coffee Clan and Mini Cacher1

Did the rounds of the park and collected the required information for GZ and the cache was quickly found.
Thanks Rally for the cache,
Regards Mr.Coffee and the "not that easy, not too hard, just right" Clan.

Initially had difficulty finding one number, then it all fell into place, Thanks.

G'day Rallywrxwagon,

We completed your cache today at 5:55pm as the tenth of fifteen on our Hume Highway Zig Zag Adventure. Sypnosis of hunt as follows -

Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, ah yes, what? #@&%* Rallywrxwagon nope, nope, ha! really got it this time.

Thanks for our 9th Rallywrxwagon cache.

Kind Regards,

D,H,H & A B-A

I must be getting close to completing this series. I stopped today to take in the history of this small town, it was a convenient location for a multi as so much history was contained in a small area. I tried my best to squeeze a coin in the cache, but no luck.

I was interested in the strange metal structure over the road also.

Thanks Rally,

R - B

Found by caughtatwork at 9:05
Not that easy, but then again, not that hard.
I found all of the clues easily enough and the cache in the 2nd place I looked. Wheeeeee!
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Rallywrxwagon for another interesting cache location.

Found on the way back from the North East and I must confess it was dead easy, largely due to having Oenze with me. Nice little park and interesting bits of machinery here and there.
Many thanks

2nd find of the day at 11:27am.
Its not often that I go caching by myself but I was on my way to meet Chewinprickles
in Wangarratta at 1:00pm so I thought I would find some caches on the way.
I loved this little park, I was going to skip this cache because I thought it might be to hard because of the description but I must have been lucky, I found the cache in the first place I looked, easy find.
TNLN, Signed Log. Thanx Rallywrxwagon....

Found by Mary & David at 1310. True, not that easy, but not too hard either. Like Rhino, we sampled the seafood before making the find shortly afterwards. Our thanks again to Rallywrxwaggon.

My first EMS and enjoyable it was too. Fun looking for the clues and a smile when I calculated gz. The cache was found after a few minutes search in its clever spot. Thanks Rallywrxwagon for the chase.

Found on 13/11/06 @ 1856 AEDT. This one was indeed not as easy as the other EMS caches I have found, but after tasting some seafood, the cache was soon in hand

TNLN

Cheers Rallywrxwagon

Failed to find this one after what I thought was an extensive search early this morning. Obviously not extensive enough. This was to be my first find of my 4 day trip up the Hume. A bad start to the day but fortunatley I found the next 59 caches so that made up for it. I will be back.

Found 9:05, a nice easy find in an area that was all too familiar to Biggles Bear #2

TNLN, thanks Rallywrxwagon.

5.30pm
Found by Roma and Max.
This was our 35th find on our Geo searching/Square Dancing week starting in Kyabram last Wednesday night at around midnight, then up to the border, in Benalla over the weekend and back to Bendigo via here.
We made our calculations while enjoying the items which provided the answers needed, and the to confound the cache name, made an easy find!
TNLNSL.
Thanks once more Rallywrxwagon.
From Romax.

Found at 3.50pm
A pleasant drive from home after the chores were done,
Good one for kids.
The hotel opposite was draped in red and white banners.
Cache found easily.
Thanks

Found in the company of DAK and A2YG. An interesting and enjoyable spot to stop, same for the cache.

Thanks for the cache.

Second of nineteen finds in company with acts2youthgroup and Muzza. We gathered the information and entered the final coordinates. We undertook the long walk to GZ and started looking. With this kind of hide, it's pure luck if you find it before the others. I checked a particularly devious place first, but came up dry (as expected). I found the cache at 0910 in the second place I looked. I was surprised to see the log sheet was a virgin, and I was FTF. I thought Rhinogeo would have beaten us to it. It's a micro, so I made no exchange. I did grab the Geocoin though--it's the best looking Geocoin that I've ever seen. Thanks to Rallywrxwagon for the cache.

Fourth of twenty finds for the day in company with Dak and Muzza on our days caching up the Hume Hwy. What new blue tractors what a disappointment, not to worry there were plenty of other goodies for me to play on. With the numbers entered we set off on the journey to GZ where Dak came up with the cache at 09:10 and scored an FTF. Thanks Steve for showing us this park.

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