Found lying exposed on the ground, open, no lid in sight. Hint no longer applies. I place it open end down, and put rocks around it like a small cairn. Needs urgent attention or won't last long. No trackables. TFTC

SPOILER ALERT



Found it, not in good condition. Water has gotten in and everything's damp and mouldy. Could not log as the notepad was damp and the paper useless. It is indeed. Lovely spot for taking pics, though!!!!

#118 – Looking 4 Cache iPad App & Garmin eTrex 30

After finding ‘Solitary Pine’, Geodad, Geomum and I continued back to Jindabyne and noticed this cache was nearby. We found a place to stop however Geomum and I seemed to find the steepest path to GZ. Thank goodness for the hint and although it was really windy, the view of the lake was great enough to take a few more photos. Although we found a less steep way to return to the car, the terrain rating might need to be upgraded to 2. SLTNLN. TFTC.

After a couple attempts at accessing the cache, we finally found the right road. From there it was a short walk to the cache, which had very nice views. Saw the cache from quite a few metres away. Thanks dashtwostep.

Found it on a beautiful autumn day while staying in the area. Biggest problem with this one was how to get to it. We tried from the top but didn't go along far enough, then we had a go from the bottom and realised where we were. Anyway it's found now. TFTC

After having a quick breakfast at CBD cafe (recommended), we went to get this one. I reckon it took us a good 15 mins to actually get in here! A quick find once we did, and great views across the lake. Thanks for the cache.
 
01-Apr-14
Walked up from the shops and grabbed this one enjoying the great views as I signed the log . TFTC Cheers for now

New log

I didn't notice any trackables when I found this cache yesterday and just went back to check to see if any travel bugs were there. There are none so this looks like they have been muggled. The cache is in a fairly heavily trafficked spot so it may be that some less than honest folks have decided to muggle the 3 trackables shown.

Only 150m from our temporary home!

Fantastic spot to sit and watch Lake Jindabyne!

Holidaying in NSW thought I would fill in a few hours found it after a long walk
loved Jindabyne lovely stay at hotel motel meals were great.
 
27-Jan-14
Took some lovely photos from GZ with nearby residents wondering what we were doing. Was hoping to make it up the mountains this weekend but spent too long enjoying the lake. Left TB hoping someone could help make it travel up to Kosciuszko for the kids to enjoy the sights. TFTC
 
25-Jan-14
Found on our Jindabyne/Narooma trip. Getting into the swing of things this morning. Parked down the bottom of the hill and took the walk up - though we realized after slogging up the steep hill, that there was a flat approach from the football grounds. The only time not to trust paperless geocaching GPSrs. Then it was a much more flat walk to GZ for a quick find. Fantastic views from up here. Took GC. TFTC dashtwostep!

Broadened my circle and quickly saw it. Thanks.

2935. Found on a solo caching run while staying at "The Station" for a horsey do for a couple of days with wife, daughter and horses. With a few hours to spare after the days events, it was "Caching time".
After a short stroll in the long grass looking and listening for any slithery critters, the hide was soon discovered. None were spotted thankfully and soon great views were had.
I have clashed with the Bush Pigs a few years a go, but then we played at The Station. Oh the memories and the bus trip home!
Thanks for the cache and rekindling those memories.

Grabbed Fred the Frog TB, but no sign of the others listed as being here. Hope they are safe.

The view from here was fantastic - right across town. It took us ages to find the correct road to get to this place, though. Interesting travelling all around town - up and down streets.

10-Dec-13
Made the find today with CJ on the way through the Snowy's and after staying in Jindabyne as well as doing some some walking at Mt Kosciusko. This one was very close to where we were staying.

This one was on the radar after staying in Jindabyne. There are several decent caches nearby and this was another one on the list. Recently we've been focusing on doing some higher DT caches and thought we'd go for this one whilst in the region. The coords and hint were excellent. Fortunately there were no muggles around near the GZ. The cache is in great nick and we really enjoyed it

Anyway, it was another great day to chase down more southern New South Wales caches. Thanks dashtwostep for another of your caches. We enjoyed this one too. SL TNLN TFTC

Out caching our way around Jindabyne. So glad AM took my advice and we approached the GZ from the top, rather than a steep hill below. Parked at the oval and walked along the little path with nice views of the lake below. Soon had CIH. TFTC!

While on a break with a bus load of scouts after a visit to the snow "Raven" and I decided to try for this hide. I was not expecting the climb but we pushed on to find a fantastic view of the lake. We only had a couple of minutes to enjoy the view as we had to get back to the bus. Jindabyne is a beautiful town and I would like to come back and spend more time here. Thanks DTS for the hunt and the cache.

PS I dont remember seeing any TBs or GCs
