Another quick find. The log was a bit wet but still managed to sign it. TFTC

Thanks for the cache. What a beautiful little walk.

Thank you found

Found it

Nice easy find and great series

Loving the trail, 3 from 3 so far, thanks for the caches

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.

Another quick find, new log book and container good condition

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: 1998Replaced log.Thanks wing6rider for creating and maintaining this cache.

I found it ,yay!

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. Good vantage point to see the chair lifts. Log is fullTFTC TFTC

TFTC!

Great spot to spy the chairlifts

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 third of the 6 successful finds and was easily spotted. 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. Geowife spotted this one. TFTC!

1054 for the tribeOut caching with RockPaperCannon + 1x unidentified cacher who has forgotton 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.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 today

Love a nice walk with some easy finds. Who needs to go bush bashing? Not me and not today

TFTC!

Enjoyed walking along this nice little trail. TFTC.

Nice trail to follow when discovering this area. 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.
This was the second attempt at this cache. I had been early a couple of mornings ago, after heavy snowfall and assumed that the cache was buried .
Subsequently i bumped into some caching friends from Qld who advised me i was looking on the wrong side of the path.

So with a little time this afternoon, i headed back to the pipeline trail, and discovered the three remaining caches. This was the last.
All is good with the cache and log sheet. The pathway was deserted today. Thanks very much for placing this trail for our enjoyment wing6rider & Crystal Warrior. Cheers

Thanks there was a stag a few metres away see photo

Snow in Ankh-Morpork is like a surprise visit from the Ice Giants unexpected, chaotic, and guaranteed to cause a stir among the locals.

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

Doing the pipeline trail in reverse order - this was number 4. TFTC!

We had no problems to find number 4 (#3).
Thank you for the cache!

Found with gridge98 on our holiday in NSW. TFTC!

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

Great view of friday flat tftc

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.

Half the tube is missing.

Found it with ziggiau and itsdozzie!

Started looking on the wrong side until I read a past log that give a clue. Very much made this harder than it needed to be.

Find # 11715

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.

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

A quick easy 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.

29,928. 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. TFTC

An nice easy, short trail with The Neighbs. TFTC.

Find #7164

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

Visiting the area on our Christmas road trip. I found Thredbo Pipeline Trail No 3 today.

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

Quick find during our little walk.
Thanks.

After a meal and a beer at the pub we walk the path along the river. The info was clear so we found it quickly.

Thanks for placing and maintaining the cache

Nice little walk, easy caches. Top! Tftc

Loving the trail! And grabbing some smiley's along the way. Thanks so much for this series! Found with mummylove132.TFTC

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. The rising sun hadn't yet reached the floor of this part of the valley and the frost seemed even thicker here. Even better views from here of the snow makers in operation. TFTC

Thanks for the cache!!, Checking out some places at thredbo for some future hikes up to the big mountain. And saw this little series trail going on, so i had to follow. All caches are in good condition unless otherwise stated!

Lovely amble! Happy Easter! TFTC

Just two left, good way to get the stats up

Another nice quick and easy find on a quiet morning

Great find , tftc

Quick grab

Should have gone right instead of left which resulted in me being nowhere near GZ, but instead of being covered in grass seeds that I’ll be picking out for ages. Next time I won’t rush into it and have a look first as this was a lot easier than I made it. TFTC

??

Thanks fun find

7 m out this time, though we were looking for it and saw it on approach…. Shining in the afternoon sunshine.

TFTC

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

Knowing what to look for an easy find

We found this one easy enough. The views were nice if you ignored the buildings etc.

Quick find nice and dry

Found as soon as we got there TFTC

Found!

Three down, four to go

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.

“If things were easy to find, they wouldn’t be worth finding.”

Tftc ️

Note: Needs new log.

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. This path is a lovely walk. TFTC

TFTC again we did not have a pen

Loving this path! Easy find of a new looking hide. 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

Found with Joolay Barb2e and SpecimenX.

TFTC

Barb2e, Isopeda and Specimen X and I were looking forward to getting these on this trip. Anyway after climbing to Mt Kozzie with Specimen X and Isopeda from Charlottes Pass and coming back via Thredbo chairlift we were pretty much broken but this was in our sights and we pushed ourselves to get it done. Lovely walk along the river. Thanks wing6rider & Crystal Warrior for keeping us going.

Found with Joolay Isopeda and specimanX on a hot afternoon in Thredbo. Tftc
