Caving

I spend many weekends caving with my wife, Jill Rowling. Most of the time is spent exploring, surveying and mapping caves, always trying to find new caves or extending known ones. Jill studies the mineralogy of speleothems and, as a result of careful observation, discovered a new type of speleothem "ribbon helictites". As for myself, I have been particulary lucky in discovering some quite important and spectacular cave passages at Jenolan Caves way back in the 70's and 80's.

The caving and/or speleological organisations we are involved in are:

• The Australian Speleological Federation Check out the ASF's national database of caves, the Karst Index Database. It's a Web-based database of over 6,500 caves throughout Australia.
• The Sydney University Speleological Society

Have a look at CaveScript if you're interested in a Cave Map language. Unfortunately I am no longer developing it.
