EXPLORATION HISTORY: 1998.02.23: Anthony 'Tony' R Jarratt and Brian Johnson had attempted to survey from the duck upstream but a bubble in the compass thwarted their initial impulse whereupon they opted for heading out to check various potential cave sites in the vicinity (Jarratt 1998.02.23 Mss 'Cave Log' 23/2/98) and never came back to it.
