"I think Snowy River is one of the primo places underground in the world

That looks pretty cool, even though he did use the word "primo". :roll: I hate the new words sometimes, and yes, I know it's been out for about 3 years.

Anyways, I'm guessing it's solid enough to walk on without breaking up? Looks interesting.

Yeah, makes me wonder about them walking on it. Hmmmm

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! :2thumbs:

that is pretty cool. I wonder where the water is coming from.

Had the good fortune to meet one of the discoverers' of snowy river, Don Becker. His tale of the "breakthrough" and when they first saw the formation was wonderful. They did not walk on it. Sadly, as with so many cave politics, the discovery team was not invited back, they are not scientists, and Don says he has not been back.
