Hi possum bugs 43,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 4 weeks) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.Ngaambul - Matt
One of the problems with looking for a cache that hasnt been signed for a while is, have previous plcschers chosen not to log as a DNF? We have gone over this structure pretty thoroughly and no luck. Maybe the CO needs to check that it is still in play.
Easy find, tftc another for my LGA count, as mentioned by a previous finders, log is full. Just managed to squeeze my initials and date on it.
We decided to visit Emmaville on our way back to our accommodation and saw there were a few geocaches in town so thought let’s get a blip or two on the smiley map. This was our first one and when we first stopped, we all grained because we expected something else… Glad it wasn’t on the nearby structure! Oh also the log was full, we managed to scribble our initials at one end.

Passing through Emmaville on our way back to Glen Innes. This one was a surprisingly quick find for a nano. Glad it wasn't on the gun. I very much dislike gun nanos. Log was signed and we were on our way. Thanks for the geofun.

Out on a weekend out west. Thought we would loop around through Emmaville and find a few caches. Nice quick find. TFTC.
Does need a new log. Squeezed my initials on.

Sneaky but found. Daughter BBRXXE is too quick at this for the rest of us Great day searching with her, Anna and Mackron72. Needs a new log though. TFTC
We were passing through here and decided to grab a couple of caches. Were amazed how many were in this small town compared to other places we had passed thru.
This was our first find today but could not open the cache. My fingers just weren't strong enough and had no tool to assist. Have sent pic to owner.
Thanks for placing this cache

Great find! Took us a while but after reading some of the activity we stopped looking at the cannon and looked elsewhere. Great cache tftc!
First cache in Emmaville while staying in Glen Innes for the holidays. Found quite quicky, always love a good nano

Stayed overnight in Glen Innes and spending the morning in the Emmaville area before heading off to Tamworth for a few days. Spent a lovely few hours out this way exploring places that caching is taking us. Many thanks to the COs for placing and maintaining these caches and enhancing our visit.
Out and about caching today in the Emmaville district after driving from Glen Innes. Thank you to the CO's for the placement of these caches and bringing us to spots where you would otherwise drive past. Cache found, log signed and cache placed where found. TFTC
With a couple of hours to myself, and Emmaville & all its caches being so close, I made way here for some caching.
This was the toughest find for the day! I may be a little more devious than most, as I would've hidden it in a more difficult spot - & proceeded to hunt there for 10 fruitless minutes. After expanding my search, I came across the well camoed little bugger. TFTC, I felt like I earned this smiley!

After having a very good look I asked hubby to come and look too. (He was reading the paper and enjoying a very nice ham and salad sandwich from down the road while he sat at the shaded picnic table). After another few minutes he came and we spent another while searching until I disturbed a very large, well marked, red back. After that I used a stick to do a lot of searching but with our nerves a little on edge it was an unsuccessful hunt. We feel we may have helped the next cachers by removing many thick cobwebs from lots of areas and we did send the angry red back to meet again with her loved ones.
Good luck to the next visitors!

Excellent location and a great excuse to stop at the public toilets here (very clean and well looked after). Interesting little park, too. TFTC!
While in the Glen Innes area we travelled the locallity exploring the area and stopping for caches. This was one we targetted and found. On our day out to got to explore an old mining area in Ottery and also found a good place for lunch in Emmaville at the pub. Thanks to possum bugs 43 for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.
After getting to Glen Innes yesterday, it was time to do the caches around the immediate area. Out with Liz and Bruce for the last day bfore we part company. Great caches in the area and a few more klm logged in the car.

Very tricky possum bugs 43. I almost fell for it too, but luckily Sam(sung) guided me in the right direction quickly. That was where the easy part ended. I hate to think how many times I looked straight through this little blighter before I actually found him. I wonder what the locals must have thought as they pulled up at the PO. Too funny! Eventually I had CIH and was able to sign the log as SG as I often do in small caches to save space.
Thanks for this one nice little hide and Rest In Peace all who served this country
I am still on my way home from the OZ Geomuster Mega event held at Morisset over the Easter week-end.
I arrived in Emmaville late yesterday arvo and stayed at the fantastic caravan park.
Nice and quiet, mowed lawns, electricity and clean showers and toilets all for $10 for a solo traveller.
So this morning I headed off around town to find all of the geocaches. In the end I DNF'ed just the one. [^]
A lot of searching in the wrong place before I eventually found this one nicely tucked away. [^]

Putting this back on line since it has been found not that long ago.
I will check the cache as I could not find it myself a few weeks ago.

Writing the log for this today the 01/02/2018 we see the cache has been disabled due to a DNF. We found it on the 20/01/2018 and all was good with it. TG did say it was a sneaky hide hidden from view.

We are heading from Brisbane to Bright in Victoria, caching as we go, wherever it is safe to pull up with the caravan. We left Brisbane on 3rd Jan and dont have to be in Bright til the end of the month. Today's drive takes us from Deepwater to Guyra, via Emmaville.
Just as we started our search, three cars full of muggles of the two legged vsriety pilled to use the amenities. Thought we would check out a few other local caches and return, but the geo app crapped itself, and i lost every thing.Thanks possum

This one took a bit more looking to find as our GPS wanted us to look elsewhere.
After almost giving up, another place called out to be checked and a careful inspection gave us what we wanted. Phew! We are happy to be able log this one as found. Thanks possum bugs 43 for placing this cache.

This cache took some finding, little b...... It wasn't where I thought it would be, lesson learnt, don't surmise !!!! Thanks.
A quick find today. Had to scrawl quickly on the log as a hitchhiking muggle wandered over for a chat !
Finally been able to get to Emmaville with my Geodog Scruffy to find these caches, which I noticed on the map a while back.
We really enjoyed finding these caches in and around this area.
All Good .. TFTC ..

Camping local and thought we would go for a New Years Day drive - I'm not a numbers guy so I picked the more interesting cache in town and also stopped for a beer! TFTC HNY
Was in the middle of a good hunt when the park suddenly had an influx of visitors so we said goodbye and hope to visit again soon.
Found at 1:00 PM GAFF1.
We were wondering what the "post" referred to as there was a post office and then there was a cannon, but no - it was something else! Interesting that there are nasty type of people even in these quite little towns judging by the smashed windows of the bus shelter.
Thanks possum bugs 43.

I have replaced the old log book as it was full and a new one is ready to go.
I have also upgraded the difficulty from 1.5 to 2

Bit of a hard one as gps coords are off. Again logic played a part. Log full so will send photos to co as well.
After a long look around found it by shaking hands with spiders just look out for the Wasps which are around
Took quite awhile until we stopped relying on the gps and went with a degree of logic. Log FULL and unable to replace or sign. Will be sending CO photos.

A lovely place, the PO's a nice old building, and very quiet, peaceful and clean town. We both said OhNo!! When we pulled up, but quickly found and signed, TFTC
We detoured from our trip to Broken Hill to visit the people at the post office. I had a quick look for this one but couldn't see it.
At first upon arrival we thought the cache would be on the gun. Mr Shifter said "We are about to have company" while we were looking and it turned out to be the CO - good to meet you. Mr Shifter located this one very quickly.
Thanks for the hide possum bugs 43.

Found on journey away from the Mega. Today we are staying in Glenn Innes for a couple of days and have joined Shifter Brains for some caching and fossicking in the area.
While we were looking for the little blighter we were muggled by the owner. Great to meet you possum bugs 43 and thanks for showing us your very pretty and well cared for town.

When I pulled up near GZ I almost didn't stop I hate large pieces of military hardware. My GPS was pointing in a slightly different direction, which I hopefully followed, but my GPS and the given GZ have been disagreeing so not sure Looked around and soon had this sneaky little nano in hand A most impressive memorial across the road TFTC possum bugs 43
Terrific cache, thanks for bringing me to this great location. Just loved the hamburgers at the small store. Worth a visit.
Great last post statue in this small town.
Having served 22 years in the Army, I have expercienced the mate ship first hand and the commitment of our young men and woman who serve.
Clever hide

This must be the social part of town! Like previous hunters, I too found this street suddenly come alive, despite it being 3pm on a Monday. However, once the GPS settled down and the crowds thinned, i found the sneaky little varmint and was soon on my way again. TFTC
I was unable to find this one today. Possum bugs 43 must have a different GPSr to me because the co-ordinates thus far have all been out 10m or so. This one could have been anywhere. People were staring at me. A dog was barking at me. I was getting tired and it is a very long drive home so I decided to give Emmaville a proper exploration on another day.
Took a while ,but tracked it down. a little busy around 12.30 friday , lunchtime Emmaville !!![;D]
