I want to see a large story, with many photos about the last few years of work and success that so many have contributed to this amazing cave. How much more to see and discover.
A great film needs to be done for all of us to witness the magic of this cave. The NSS News is looking for a few good stories. Would like to see a story there. I think that this story beats out those out of the country stories. :cavingrocks: Happy Caving!

Phenomenal! Thanks for all the photos, too. They really bring this story to life. The numbers bear repeating: over 18 miles of travel; over a mile of new survey; longest known formation and still growing; farthest spot from an entrance and still going. Wow.

Here is the Snowy River video showing the exploration up to 2009. I realize many of you have already seen it, but this is a good place to post it.
