Lake Cave 28th July 2016


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!
Looks a bit like a dinosaur skull

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)
Straws forming
These are called shawls
A ghostly figure holds a block of calcium carbonate
Rusty put on a "Light Show"
Beautiful reflections
More reflections in the lake




























The now extinct short faced kangaroo  is honoured with a statue
Whew! 640 steps there and back.
