A Canberra fisherman who went missing six days ago in the NSW Snowy Mountains has been located safe and well in a nearby town.
Robert Lockwood, 60, was discovered at the ski resort town of Jindabyne on Saturday afternoon, on the second day of a search for him.
He told police he had encountered car trouble, which led to him being stranded in the town.
Mr Lockwood had last been seen at a fishing shop in Cooma on December 8 before the alert was raised on Friday that he had not been heard from since.
Mr Lockwood had said he was heading to the Tantangara Dam to fish.
