Geocache Description:


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.

Cavers can abseil into B16 Blowfly (WP1) and exit at B51 Blowfly (WP2) or vice versa, it is one of the more popular and interesting "through" caves that people tend to explore, you require a fair bit of gear though!. To complete this multi-cache however you cant just walk the route above ground! 

AT B16 Blowfly

Get as close to the entrance as you can! Don't slip down the vertical drop!

Directly above the vertical drop into the cave, you will find a ringbolt which is used to attach abseiling ropes too, it has a picture of an animal on it

EF = Two digit number on bolt

AT B51 Blowfly

You will find a ladder leading into a reinforced wooden pit at the cave entrance
