Out for a day with the geowife. Nice easy find. TFTC

Thank you for the cache. The geo kids have really enjoyed these quick finds

Thank you found

Thank-you for a fun geo!!!!

Nice easy find, love the walking trail, thanks for the cache

Missed but was in plain sight. GeoGrandma found it

TFTC

Out in Thredbo to go snowboarding for my first time ever. Have had a couple riding days and now that the group has quiet down. Ive had a chance to go out this morning to find the caches here. This is a nice trail that I wouldnt have noticed if it wasnt for the cashes. All of the fines were well hidden due to their camouflage. Once I found the first set the tone for the series, saw a deer and Lake along the path. Thanks for the caches.

A short search and bingo, found second last of the day do these in reverse order

Found it

We are in Thredbo today. Sooo much warmer than yesterday and Im in my thermals . Unfortunately I have a migraine so no chairlift for me today. I had so looked forward to the walk to Mt Kosciuszko Lookout. But lots more time now for caching.Find No: 1999 nearly there!Thanks wing6rider for creating and maintaining this cache.

Blends in well.

Day 4 - Adelaide to GC9PNFB - Capital GeoBash Mega - Canberra ACTToday LB and I had a very relaxing ride on the chairlift and an enjoyable walk to the top of the hill, but because we were going steady, steady we didnt get the opportunity to ride the chairlift to the bottom of the hill , and so we had to walk/slide down the service road which was lit up by the full moon that popped up over the opposite mountains . The things we do When we got to the bottom we decided to follow this trail to grab these last few caches, even though parts of our bodies were complaining !! What can I say, just a couple more caches and well call it a day By the end of the day we had walked 25km and our knees, ankles and feet certainly knew the distance we had covered!! TFTC wing6riderKeep smiling

Visiting from Coffs Harbour, nice walking track.TFTC

TFTC. all logs have been quite full and might need replacing

Found it!

Geograndpas first find (so not tricky!) Tftc

While some of the family were throwing themselves downhill on bikes (and having a blast), Ma Kettle decided a walk was in order. With caches to find, the Pipeline Track was the perfect choice.This was the second of the 6 successful finds and the hardest to spot. Originally followed what looked like a geo trail which did not lead to the correct tree. Looked a little harder and there it was! Thanks for doing the work to hide such a lovely series of caches.

Found by The Empire + HEmbracing the vibrant summer energy of Thredbo, we found the town abuzz with the excitement of mountain biking enthusiasts. The familiar whirr of bike wheels and the laughter of riders echoed through the alpine village, signaling the popularity of this exhilarating outdoor activity in the warmer months.Thredbo, typically renowned for its winter sports, had transformed into a mountain biking haven as the snow gave way to lush trails and alpine landscapes. The village square, once a gathering point for skiers, now bustled with bikers gearing up for thrilling descents and scenic rides down the mountainside.Colorful bikes adorned with dust and mud leaned against storefronts, and riders clad in their gear discussed trail choices and shared stories of their mountain biking escapades. The sense of camaraderie among enthusiasts created an infectious enthusiasm that permeated the alpine air. The eucalyptus-scented air filled our senses as we followed the well-maintained trail, and the occasional shade from the towering trees provided a pleasant respite from the sun. The Pipeline Trails accessibility became apparent as families, casual hikers, and nature enthusiasts shared the path, enjoying the simplicity and beauty of the alpine environment. Thanks for the cache and their fun series wing6rider. -M

Quick find on a gorgeous early morning. TFTC

Trip with the geowife was on the cards this weekend, plan is to summit Kosciuszko for our 3000th find. First night camping at Thredbo Diggings campground, then onto Charlottes Pass for the 7 hour round trip to the summit. Dropped in to Thredbo on the way through to finish off this series I started earlier in the year. Had a bite to eat at the car park before starting this nice little walk, all caches found in good condition. TFTC!

1056 for the tribeOut caching with RockPaperCannon + 1x unidentified cacher who has forgotten their caching name after their previous single cache. There is still some snow up there on those peaks and didn't we feel it today! A beautiful area to stroll around though with stunning and unique scenery.The caches in the pipeline trail were all in great condition. Some of the logs were getting full but we found places to scrawl R + T, RPC + 1 on all logs.Thoroughly enjoyed the brisk walk around Thredbo and particularly enjoyed the pipeline trail today. Thanks for going to the effort of working with NPWS to place this series - that must have taken some time and effort. This was just what we needed after a long journey here.

In Thredbo for the day

I was worried when there wasn't a hint, but no need.

Nice trail to follow when discovering this area. TFTC

Enjoyed walking along this nice little trail. Even spotted some deer along the way. TFTC.

Thanks for this great series. Took an afternoon of skiing to walk this trail. Didn’t even know this trail existed until today!

A family holiday in Thredbo and whilst here I took advantage of the convenient caches around the village.
Having found 1 cache, I missed a couple, then finally, a second find with this one. All is good with the cache container and log sheet. All quiet on the pipeline trail this morning, didn’t pass a soul. Thanks very much for placing this trail for our enjoyment wing6rider & Crystal Warrior. Cheers

Thanks for this great series of caches - we are down from Qld for skiiing
But no snow so a short walk introducing our friends to geocaching

Cheers to the chaos, my friends. May it never dull our sense of humor or our determination to uphold the law in this wonderfully absurd city.

CaptainVimes and I are on a driving holiday from Melbourne to Canberra this week. Our hike had to be abandoned due to the weather so we did this walk instead. Thanks for the fun wing6rider

Quick maintenance run through here and can report that all is good to go.

Doing the pipeline trail in reverse order. Curiously couldn't find this one after an easy first 4.

Found with gridge98 on our holiday in NSW. TFTC!

No log book

This was a interesting little trail here, some fixing up of it needs to be done but all the caches were found

Day 5 of Courtneyrose_ and I’s trip from Adelaide to Sydney. Today we made our way from Corryong to Cooma via the snowy mountains, we set out to Summit the highest peak in Australia mount Kosciusko and find a few others along the way.

Thanks for the cache

Day 3 of the Jindy Jaunt. After our expedition up the mountain yesterday, there was still an hour left on the NSW park pass, so we decided to head up to Thredbo for a few more caches.
The Pipeline Trail was a nice walk along the Thredbo river with some nice views. Each of the caches was found.
OCW ziggiau and aubeasty
TFTC.

Quick find, shame about the missing lid, but we get the idea.

Found it with ziggiau and itsdozzie! Cache in disarray, half the tube is missing

Half the tube is missing. Log still present.

Find # 11716

Found with sharkiefan

After walking to the top of Mt Kosciusko today, heading back to Jindabyne for an event then having dinner, you'd think I'd want a rest. Well I got my second wind (or maybe fifth) and seeing as my park pass still had time left on it, we headed back to Thredbo.
It was dark and now the night life was out so the drive was a little slower.

We got the info for the multi then, under torchlight, went for a walk along this track and gathered up all oh here.

OCW EverestHigh and Martin Cousins. A relatively easy find after caching and hiking around Mount Kosciuszko. TFTC wing6rider & Crystal Warrior!

Let the hickers past and sign the log. Kutgw

Found in the obvious spot.

If the owner is out here it need a little TLC as it’s just hanging in with help from a bag.

TFTC.

Quick find after a big day on the mountain nice to hear the stream
Lid is missing

Another nice quick find.

Found while night caching with FUF009. Tftc

With our usual caching buddies doing an extreme walk today, fitzy_1965 & I took it easy.

We even enjoyed a sleep in which is usual on a caching trip. Once we got going, we headed out to Perisher and picked up an oldie and some AL's.

Next we stopped in Jindabyne for morning tea then continued to Thredbo to do this walk. It was so lovely and cool walking the trail. All caches where found quickly and easily.

29,927. Found with minniek during our Kosciuszko Expedition Weekend caching around the Snowy Mountains.

After a sleep-in (a what??) we headed out from our campground to grab a few caches - not many during a fairly relaxing couple of days touring around Perisher, Thredbo and Jindabyne itself. This was the next on our list, and this little series of 6 caches looked interesting. We parked at the BBQ area near #1, and started our walk - which was short enough to do both ways back to the car. What a lovely walk. Great views, cool, shady with a breeze in most areas. Overall a nice time. All 6 caches found without any problems. Signed the log, replaced the cache as found, then continued on to the next one.

Thanks wing6rider & Crystal Warrior !!

Quick find here to ok. OCT Martin Cousins and MaxAdventurer. TFTC

Easy find with The Neighbs on the way to the chair lift. TFTC.

Find #7163

Spending some time in the high country to take in some of the many wonderful bushwalks, and finding some of the last remaining caches in the area for me. Until there’s more!

DAY 3 - A fantastic walk along the river in the evening. A band playing in the distance. What’s not to live about an evening stroll in the mountains. This cache was a quick easy find, and cache in good condition.

Thanks so much wing6rider . And for getting me out and about, and for highlighting this spot

TFTC found with Maybery

Lovely trail by the river. TFTC

Tftc. The cache has no lid but someone has placed in a zip lock bag. Paper slightly water damaged.

The bottom of the container has come away and the cache is secured inside a zip bag, which I replaced in the break of the tree. Probably needs cache container replacing, or a detailed search beneath the cache location for the bottom half.

Unusual as it is temporarily repaired in a snap lock bag in a knot of a tree. TFTC

Another easy find. This one has lost the bottom but sealed nicely in a zip lock bag. No pen. Photo of cache as proof

TFTC!

found 29/12/22

Find #2 and this one needs maintenance. Lost its screw on bottom, so someone put it in a baggy. Log is a little worse for wear compared to the rest. Just stuck in it. Tftc.

Thanks to the previous finders I was still able to get this one despite it needing repairs
Also find number 380

Find# 2841

Visiting the area on our Christmas road trip. I found Thredbo Pipeline Trail No 2 today. Unfortunately the bottom of the container is missing so I’ve just popped the whole thing into a Ziploc bag.

Many thanks wing6rider for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.
The log book and container are both in good condition.

Deze geocacher heeft aangegeven dat de cachebehuizing beschadigd is.

Quick find during our little walk.
Found the logbook on the ground.
Put it back inside but without the cap.
Thanks.

After a meal and a beer at the pub we walk the path along the river. The info was clear but all we found was the top of the container. Logbook is missing.

I was wrong...in the first I could write my name.
It was here that we took the pic. Tftc

Found the container. Well, half of it. Bottom missing and had a look around GZ but could not find. Checked the logs and saw has affected others too. Found with mummylove132. TFTC

Good find! Bottom of container missing

Day 10 of our 2 week road trip south from Brisbane. After overcoming floods, a bogged car and vehicle electrical issues, we finally reached Canberra to spend a few days with relatives before continuing south for a loop around the Snowy Mountains.

After spending last night in a hotel in Thredbo, I headed out this morning just after sun up for a walk along the Pipeline Trail to pick up these caches. 3° outside and a thick frost on the ground - definitely the coldest we have encountered so far this trip. Luckily I was rugged up enough that it was still a comfortable walk along the trail, with some good views of the surrounding mountains. As if my frozen hands needed any confirmation that it was cold, the ice in the nearby pond made sure I knew it was. Like previous finders, I only found the top half of the cache. I did scrabble around in the grass for a while looking for the bottom part (I assume a previous finder dropped it and then couldn't find it) but didn't have any success. All the replacement logs I usually carry where back in the car - not much good for me being there this morning when I needed one now. TFTC

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Cache was found, Well half of it anyway, But bottom screw bottom is missing as well as the log, as others have already mentioned.. So im guessing maintenance is on its way!.. Im supprised how these have lasted as long as they have from being so easy to spot from the path lol

Container at GZ but as per others the bottom missing and so is the log sheet. Maintenance suggested.

Found, may need some repairs but still easy to spot

Tftc

Bottom of the cache is missing

Found fairly quickly as per other logs the case container is damaged and will require a replacement

Bottom and log missing , found the log in the bushes , signed it and jammed it back in , but couldn’t find the other part of the container

Maintenance required. No bottom no paper

Took a while to find, had to go to pipeline 3 to ID the cache type then double back and quickly in hand.

Bottom of the container missing

Very quick find, but unfortunately what I found was the log on the ground and the container still in place. Half the container missing, so did the best I could to fix it after signing

Need pliers to get some of these out.

Thanks fun find bottom off cache missing

6 m out again.
You would have to be tall for this or use a leg up.
Mr. Riddell had difficulty reaching this and Mrs Riddell certainly couldn’t reach it.

No clue again. Total of 5/5 absent clues, confirms our theory.
TFTC

Avery nice little trail for a short afternoon’s walk with the family. Cache was easily located at GZ, thanks.

Looked for a bit, then bingo, there it is

Could not find this initially as we had no idea of type and style. Went to the next one, saw the hide type, came back for an easy find.

Nice find with ikarus slightly high viewpoint and arms to reach over. Quiet today with only a few muggles braving the sun before wet weather sets in.

Quick find TFTC

Cheers!

Woop, that's two!

Crystal Warrior walked the trail today to check on the series. We replaced all the bisons with what we hope will be more waterproof. New logs and ready to go!

My son was on a camp and while he was riding, I was caching. What a lovely walk around the lake. TFTC

Found on my afternoon walk on my first visit to Thredbo. Took a bit to find at first, but once I knew what I was looking for I enjoyed it more.

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.”

Tftc ??

Note: Log full

Had time to kill and went for a stroll along this trail finding all the caches. Came across numerous mountain bike riders, a small brown snake and lots of rabbits. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM
Cheers dkmacca

Quick find. Log damp from storms last night. TFTC

TFTC sadly we had no pen second find today

Quick find once we levelled up. TFTC!

So after making the hike up to the summit for the CITO and to make the collect on some of the other caches along the way, Joolay, isopeda and myself took the chairlift down to meet up with barb2e and Kittykatch to grab the pipeline series.

All caches were quick finds and we worked out the answers for the final relatively easy enough. Nice little wander around the place with the ladies but omg my legs and feet were soooo sore from the hike on the mountain!

Logs signed JC "Jindycrew" to save space as most logbooks were full.

Thanks for the hide, wing6rider
