History
EXPLORATION HISTORY: 2003 (Rockcliff & Jarratt 2006.02.09 Mss): The lads apparently built a c.35 m [deleted: ladder) rope from bamboo and went down in a woven basket to retrieve the meat [of a] … cow once died after falling down it (Jarratt 2006.03.04 Mss: Cave Log, vol. XIII: 9/2/06). 2006.02.09: Evermore Sukhlain (note 2) guided Anthony 'Tony' R Jarratt and Neil Pacey to the entrance (Rockcliff & Jarratt 2006.02.09 Mss). Jarratt (2006.03.04 Mss: Cave Log, vol. XIII: 9/2/06) narrates how the two of them followed Evermore to see some new caves he had found. We skirted the wooded SE face of Lum Manar and were shown eleven promising pots [Kya 4, Pastor 1, Pastor 2, Pastor 3, Pastor 4, Pastor 5, poh Um Manong 1, Um Manong 2, poh Um Manong 2, poh Um Manong 3, Tyrtong Warim]. … Tomorrow we will drop a few the new pots. A relatively quiet night at camp followed … JARRATT (2006: 7) confirms: Shnongrim cow boy, Evermore, pointed out 11 new sites. Many of these were dropped on the 10th . 206.02.10: Henry Rockcliff (in: Rockcliff & Jarratt 2006.02.09 Mss, amended by Brooks 2006 undated) tries to record that the first cave named after the Pastor was, literally quoted, Desendd By HENRY Rockcliff after [deleted: Deficaltys] difficulties relocating. Jarratt (2006.03.04 Mss: Cave Log, vol. XIII: 9/2/06) points out The others [Annie U. Audsley, Imogen Furlong, Peter Ludwig, Desmond 'Des' McNally, Neil Pacey and Henry Rockcliff] dropped some of the Pastors -- probably to enjoy seing them screaming but perhaps only to promote them for martyrdom.
