Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A relatively large (10 by 5 m wide and high), north-west facing cave entrance gives access to a daylight-lit cave (about 10 m to 12 m long) with a floor strewn with angular rocks and boulders ascends into collapse and yet more daylight finding its way into the cave. SITUATION: Approximately 40 m or 50 m upstream of the first cave of –>Updudupudu Swami (Upududupudu Swami) but some 5 m or 10 m higher up. CULTURAL HISTORY - The only hint to human interest in this cave was shown by a booze bottle (0.3 ltr), dirty on the outside and closed with an aluminium screw-lid but otherwise empty.
