While checking online i spotted another cave down south that i had Missed ... I hummed and hahhed about going back but i'm a sucker for caves so decided to head back south again...
So glad i did ... its unfenced, unlit, unsupervised and totally natural ... was the best cave trip ever !!!

The Creek actually flows into the cave and after the initial large cavern the tunnel narrows.

The Creek eventually disappeared under a large structure but there was enough room to squeeze past and it opened into another large cavern.
