Fossil Cave
Mount Gambier South Australia

fossil 3 Entrance into Fossil cave.
fossil 1 Warning sign outside of Fossil Cave. As the name suggests several ancient fossils were found in the cave when it was first explored. Excurvation pegs can still found on the cave floor.
fossil 4 Entrance to fossil cave. Weed covered mud makes access difficult.
fossil 6 Entry difficult due to the large amount of silt found at the first section of the cave. Care must be taken to ensure that slit is not stirred up as it will drift down into the cave and spoil the dive.
fossil 7 Light shines into cave from entrance.
fossil 9 Looking back up to the entrance of fossil cave. Some slit disturbed on entry gives an misty magical feel to the dive.
fossil 12 Davy securing guide line prior to proceeding into the cave. Cavers rely on their line to lead them back to the surface in case of a compltet slit out.
