CHAPPAR RIFT (Cave at the)

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An approxiately 6 m wide cave entrance allows peeping into a shallow bedding plane cave passage which ascends across sand and small stones for an estimated 10 m to where it seems to divide into several solutional tubes. SITUATION: The entrance, which faces in an unknown direction, lies at the southern end of the gorge called Chappar Rift (note 1), above a walled platform at the base of a cliff approximately 300 m north-east of the Levi Post (note 2) and estimated 150 vertical metre higher up. CULTURAL HISTORY - Human use: A walled platform runs across the entrance, suggesting it may once have been used as a shelter, accomodation, store, stable, or the like (Brooks, S J 2000.10.23 Mss).An approxiately 6 m wide cave entrance allows peeping into a shallow bedding plane cave passage which ascends across sand and small stones for an estimated 10 m to where it seems to divide into several solutional tubes.
