A low entrance with debris, not fully explored, can be bypassed along an old dry stream bed to the north. To quote the National Parks website "water bubbles up from underground and seeps through the walls to create a stream which winds around the sandy floor of this cave for about 200 mö. The chamber is reported to be 200 m long by 180 m wide by 50 m high.
