Brave the Cave I
Welcome to Bungonia National Park! This is a cavers paradise, with over 200 caves in the area! Many are just holes in the ground, and most require ropes and ladders to explore, but this multi-cache will just take you to a couple of most popular cave entrances to give you a taste of what is on offer
There will hopefully be a series of caches in Bungonia National Park, with this being the first. Be sure to find one of the most incredible Earthcache's located in Grill Cave (GCAEN5Z), which was inspiration for this series.
You won't need caving gear to complete this multi-cache, it is very straightforward, however you WILL need it for the Earthcache nearby. So don't forget to bring along the essentials, see description for GCAEN5Z.
