Australian Bush

This was my first experience out in the Australian bush, entrance to cave in Florentine Valley.
Winter cave, I think this cave is 220 meters deep, just nearby, Gavin has discovered the now deepest cave in Tasmania, at over 375 meters deep. One pitch is 170 meters, now thats a black hole.



Lots of wilderness in Tasmania, and no people. Something like 40% of Tasmania is protected forest.
Lots of old growth trees, reaching heights of 300 feet

After my first full day out in the Australian bush, it ended with Kangaroo meat cooked on my stove, with a local Cascade Brewery Lager.
