16 August Tunnel Creek

Today we drove on the infamous Gibb River Road...although half of the trip was on bitumen.
We explored a cave known as Tunnel Creek where you need to have a torch and togs as you have to wade through water up to waist deep. Apparently we were sharing the cave with fresh water crocs, snakes and bats....we only saw and heard the bats! It was a unique, exhilarating, nerve racking but fun adventure.



Entering the cave. In the last picture Ian had a dip in the pool on the left.
 

Andrew and Chloe were well prepared with their head torches......thanks Ma


The beautiful scenery at the other end of Tunnel Creek.



About to head back into the darkness and cold water. The top of the cave littered with stalactites.  
 

Fishing????



Halfway through the cave was an opening where we could see where we were going without the torches.
 

Ian ..... never to miss an opportunity for a swim.
