The entrance drops down into the stream just behind the boulder choke. After about 100m the first exploration was stopped by a 1.5m King Cobra standing its ground in a narrow section of cave with the stream way continuing beyond. On a return in 2004 this section was passed and the streamway was explored for a further xxxm to a 4m waterfall that was not ascended
