After another big day in the snow, I decided to pick off the this hide near the turnoff to my accommodation. The road into the parking area was pretty rough, but it was interesting walking by the frisbee golf course!But a short walk took me to another interesting rock formation with a nice view over the lake. A short look soon discovered a surprising hide! This wouldnt last long where I live, really could do with a little camo help.
 
12-Aug-24
Unfortunately I could not find it, even after some 10 minutes search. It was already getting dark, and I did not grab into all possible holes, to avoid contact with possible animals.

A glorious t-shirt winters day. I went round in circles a few times, but easy once I'd glimpsed it. Log book coyote do with being replaced soon as it is fairly full. TF TC

Searched around for quite some time to no avail. Wed already encountered one brown snake today so we werent keen on rummaging around the leaf litter and twigs. Previous posts commented GZ between 5-8m out so without a more precise location, was a bit too tricky.

Part of a series of finds with @Lachie612 whilst hiking. Thanks for the geo

Found with deshadybear! I wondered why this cache had so many favourites, and after scrolling through the old photo's I can see why. Unfortunately the cache is just a cheap plastic tube amongst the rocks now, and has lost it's charm.Took us about 10 minutes to locate as well, not a easy sized container to look for in this sort of terrain.Thanks for bringing us here though, nice to get up close to the lake from this perspective, and also enjoyed using the gym equipment on the way back to the car!

Nice and easy find on an overcast morning

Found by The Empire + HLeaving the coastal town of Merimbula, we ventured into the hinterlands, where rolling hills and farmlands painted a picturesque backdrop. The road meandered through quaint villages, each with its own unique character, creating a sense of tranquility as we gradually bid farewell to the coastal vistas.As we ascended into the Snowy Mountains region, the landscape underwent a dramatic transformation. Verdant hills gave way to towering eucalyptus forests, and the air became crisper with the promise of alpine adventures. The winding roads revealed glimpses of distant peaks, a prelude to the majestic scenery that awaited us in Jindabyne. The drive not only showcased the natural beauty but also offered opportunities to explore hidden gems along the way. Stopping at scenic lookouts, we marveled at the sweeping vistas that unfolded, capturing the essence of the Snowy Mountains grandeur. Arriving in Jindabyne, the alpine town welcomed us with its laid-back atmosphere and a sense of adventure lingering in the mountain air. The proximity to the Snowy Mountains and the promise of outdoor activities created a palpable excitement as we explored the towns vibrant streets. Thanks for the cache FOX D'ARC.-M

#4450 Last time I was here in February this cache proved elusive and I was getting the same vibes here this morning. Searching around the rocks it was around five minutes or more before I found the cache barely concealed some 7-8 metres from where my GPS wanted me to be.After logging I placed it back as found. TFTC.

After completing the excellent adv lab cache series here in Jindabyne we tried to grab as many traditional caches before we ran out of daylight having left our torches back at the accommodation. A bit of searching here, turning over lots of rocks eventually had us spotting something out of the ordinary which turned out to be hiding the cache. Beautiful view of Lake Jindabyne from here. Nice hide TFTC

Lovely stroll along the lakeside, passing runners that we had seen closer to town.
I told one lady that she was doing a great job and to keep it up! (We had driven the kilometre to GZ).
Wandered off the path and into the shrubbery and rocks nearby.
I thought I had spotted to prize so directed TBS to where it was located..
Turned out to be an empty Furphy can.
The hunt continued a few more moments and the cache was soon in TBS's hot little hand.

It was an surprising sunny afternoon in Jindabyne and we started our walk along the lake.
After arriving, we search nearly half an hour, turned every stone, but did not found anything. As were quite exhausted but now one of us came out with the container in their hand. We were really happy and allowed oneself a wafer.

Thank you for the cache! Smile

If at first you don't succeed...

I always intended to have another shot at this one today. This morning I overheard a find, as one cacher called up another for a hint, was put on speaker and then made the find without much of a hint. This made me think I was probably looking in the right place, which made me a bit more confident as I returned.

I returned to what I thought was the most likely hiding place this afternoon after a good run of finds just out of town. I don't know why I didn't look at this at the right angle yesterday, it only took me a minute to find the cache, but it wasn't quite the container I'd expected.
 
26-Feb-23
Completing caches along Lake Jindabyne after the local events over the weekend, Heard that the cache was replaced and good to find again, So i set out with Swampgecko and made the joint find. Horray!!. Cache signed and turned back to its original spot!. Thanks for the location!

Day 3 of the Jindy Jaunt. After an earlier DNF I noticed this cache has been temporarily replaced, so today I made a second visit together with ZiggiAU and AUBeasty.
Wow, quite a lot of debris from earlier high water levels of the lake. What a shame for all the work that the Council has put into this nice park.
Cache was quickly found.
TFTC.

26-Feb-23
After intel from the brekkie I trekked back to turn our frown upside down. In the middle of the search, 2 more catchers joined in. After a quick PAF, we kept searching, and, with the aid of a natural TOTT, the replacement finally appeared.

Find # 11710

After hearing, at the arvo event, that this cache was replaced, and we got a big hint on where to look.
Robmc and myself headed to GZ and after some scratching around Robmc made the find here.

I'm in Jindabyne with a group of geocachers, including Rama497, for the GCNSW events. Today was a round trip from Jindabyne to Dalgety then to Berridale and back to Jindabyne, gathering caches along the way.
Arrived at GZ to find other cachers there. The container was in plain view this time so an easy grab.
Thanks for the geo-fun. ??

Having heard at the event this afternoon that this cache had been replaced, I thought it would be a sure thing for my last find of the day. Disappointingly, after 20 minutes looking around and with the light going I realised it wasn't to be. Well, it is a D3 cache. I'll come back another day with more imagination.
 
25-Feb-23
I had looked for this one yesterday, but no luck.
Then I heard that someone had replaced it, so FUF and I went back.
A quick find in a nice spot.
Thanks, Robmc.
