On Saturday morning, a group of intrepid cavers left ANU bright and early to go and explore Wyanbene Cave.

This time, it saw us going to Jenolan to meet up with SUSS for a couple of days of caving in Barralong (helping dive trips), Wiburds and Mammoth (survey work and fun); then heading up north to Kempsey, where we checked out caves in and around the Kookaburra and Moparabah areas. read more
