Dear friends!
Thank you for keeping on coming back!
As promised after the official retirement this year, I have posted a new blog place called cavesidecaving.info. Business retirement doesn't mean I have stopped caving.
I am a caver!
I look forward to hearing from you again, this is an informal thing.
Cheers

Thanks Peter, Hobart-Launceston Magazine.
While officially the business is now closed as of 30 June, I will really enjoy catching up with many of you who I have met over these years. Please get in touch a bit later in the year.

I found a scan of a page from an old Visitors Book from the nineties.
this is before Trip Advisor etc
I remember the trips with William Baldock's great grandson and (partly cut off, on left) two visiting Tibetan Buddhist monks resident in NZ.....

Starting to see the change in the market with the change in season; international visitors are arriving in regional Tasmania.
The cool forest settings of cave entrances in the Mole Creek Karst National Park and the world heritage area are exquisite in our continuing summer conditions.
While Wild Winter Water caves bookings are open from June 1, those sort of conditions will not be with us for some time yet!!!!

At the Australian Speleological Federation's national conference last month I received a high award. I feel very honoured that my life's work in the development of cave rescue and in conservation battles for the caves has been recognised. So I think I should share this with you.

The Off-Season promo is back.
Wild Cave Tours runs something as part of the promotion which I've coined Wild Winter Water Caves, because the caves are simply at their best when the cave streams are happening. MInd you, although the promo products are listed to start in May, wait until the winter rains have started if you want to experience the caves with water! Best months to experience the stream caves are usually from July through September. Simply book "WILD TOUR" if the Off Season promo has expired.

Tasmania’s festivals and events burn bright in winter. Find things to do: here’s what’s on this Off Season.
