DROMILLY CAVE

Field Notes: R. S. Stewart

Cavers: S. Koenig, Geo Graening, S. McGinnis, Guy Graening, R. S. Stewart

Position: Reserved due to biological resources

Cave entrance position marked with Garmin as Wpt 006, at 16:30, DGPS WAAS, accuracy +/- 3 m.

The cane field at the base of the hill that holds Dromilly Cave had standing water over much of it. I took a fall on a loose rock on the hike up the hill to the entrance with only minor damage as a result; I had about 10 Kg in my pack and my legs were getting a bit rubbery.

A biological survey was done, primarily in the eastern branch of the cave and then we headed back to Windsor.
