[QUOTE="Maltisau, post: 281187, member: 6761"] I LOVE looking through old mines. When I was a kid my father and I explored some magnificent mines in South Australia. Jupiter Creek was a good spot but I think the council has been meddling with the area. It was about 25 years ago though when people took responsibility for their own actions. I remember an adit with a shaft at one end. We used a home made rope ladder to climb in and walked out the other side. There was another shaft nearby that we explored which had several levels. Another mine was on the way to Arkaroola. The whole family explored that one as far as the water table. There were huge cavernous areas and lots of quartz crystals in the mullock heaps. I like the caves on the Fleurieu Peninsula too. A big one at Rapid Bay and sea caves at Second Valley. I must get back and explore the coastline further with a kayak. So far I have only found the adit at Belltopper Hill. I can't wait to find more to explore once I have some training in ropes and abseiling. Thanks for sharing dean65. [/QUOTE]
