Plus a volcano. The Great Australian Bight gave me the biggest swell I have ever seen any where bar none. It is one very very cool place.
The new species are far to deep for divers like me [biggrin]

[biggrin]. The limestone caves in the area are very cool. The longest might still to be discovered

I am taking the kids to Murrawijinie Caves after Xmas on the way back from WA. Link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murrawijinie_Cave)

I only went as deep as my phone torch would allow. Always scope for a next time. They used to pump water out of this but supposedly it became contaminated. Not sure if the contamination was caused by nature or man.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181126/a56c4230dc8852e0525ded9997dd299d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181126/def0debf8e6d3843958daeb158b7f952.jpg

Ah, Old Homestead cave. You wouldn't want to go down there without a knowledgeable guide, that's for sure. It's a rabbit warren!

If you go down the top of the volcano where do you pop out?
