06.01.2022 Special accouncement - "The Caves of Jenolan 3: The Southern Limestone" is in print ! Back in the 1970s, SUSS planned to put together books on Jenolan; A yellow one for Mammoth Cave, a blue one for the North Jenolan Caves and a red one for the south Jenolan caves. The Blue and Yellow books were produced and now, over 50 years later, with input from SUSS, SSS, BMSC and other clubs, the Red book is finally here. This book includes maps, photos and descriptions of over 75 caves ...including several great and challenging abseils, Crystal Crown and Bridge formations, sinks and resurgences, and, dare I say, Enigmatic cave dives. A perfect opportunity to do some armchair caving in Jenolan South, where big discoveries await :) For price and availability see the SUSS web site, https://suss.caves.org.au/about/publications
