| CAIGUNA BLOWHOLE |
THURSDAY 6.2.2014: First stop was at the Caiguna Blowhole. Blowholes on the Nullarbor have been formed by weathering through to underground cavities. The Caiguna cave has clearance heights of about 0.5 - 1.5m. All caves breathe to some extent and air movement at one cave entrance on the Nullarbor has been measured at 72km/hr. There are 20 or so caves on the Nullarbor and it is the driest karst (limestone), area in the world. Daytime temperatures can be high, with the average rainfall low. Sporadic heavy rain occurs about three times a year. As there was no water in the blowhole we ventured closer to examine the cavity - looked in and there lay a pit full of snakes. Not often do the Leylands move with speed, but it is arguable who beat whom back to the motorhome!

| ARTIST'S IMPRESSION |
GOLF REPORT: DAY 2 - B-I-G golf day - played 2 holes. Caiguna - 90 Mile Straight Par 4 310m: (Carole 2 - Sybil 0). It has to be said that you really do appreciate the enforced driving stops as it breaks up the Nullarbor stretch.
