report:

"We have observed the centre 40 arcmin square region of the error box
of GRB 011019 (GCN #1109) with the robotic 50-inch telescope at Mount
Stromlo Observatory, commencing at 2001 Oct 20.39 UT.  Our combined
3x300 sec images in MACHO R band have a limiting magnitude of
approximately R ~ 19.5 mag.  Neither automated or manual comparison
of the images with the Digital Sky Survey reveal the presence of an
optical transient.  Further observations are planned."
