Today we set off on a short drive to the south west to Lake Cave. We were the only two on the 10.30am tour and so had a great experience with our guide Rusty. The cave is 62m underground so there were a lot of steps to get down there!

It was pitch black - yes he turned out all the lights, until I inquired - "Are you still there Rusty??" With the lake so close you wouldn't want to fall in. The most wonderful was the stalactite and stalagmites on a platform which had had the sand beneath washed away. It appeared to be levitating above the lake. (Picture above)
