my view of the natural world
It took a decade of wanting till I eventually fulfilled a desire. It lived up to my expectations and beyond when I took my first flight on a bi-plane which included some aerobatic manoeuvres. Hopefully I’ll get to do it again in the not too distant future 👍
On our way from Victoria to the Flinders Ranges South Australia, we stopped at Kingston SE and had a little play on the beach.
So, a few days ago I did a little test of myself, something I like to do on a regular basis. Only this one was quite different. A little adventure caving at the Naracoorte Caves, in South Australia. Yes, it’s squeezing into small spaces, with lots of crawling and wriggling, all deep underground, with only our helmeted headlights for vision. I loved it!
It’s all done under supervision, with a very experienced guide, and safety is taken seriously. However, that said, there were plenty of laughs. Now that I’ve done the novice course, I’m thinking about doing some more training preparation, so I can complete a more advanced caving experience 🙂 After all, who knows when this experience may be useful!
We were supplied with knee pads, overalls, and helmets with lights. It was rather dirty and damp in places, of course.
Our wonderful instructor, Danielle, who has been caving since she was a young child.
This is where the fun begins, the iron bar separates the public area from the adventure section.
We all finished!
