Two Tube Cave

 

Discovered in May 2025, the Two Tube Cave has a very small opening, that requires a tricky crawl to enter. Once in, it leads into a spacious cavern, approximately 5 meters wide by 7-8 meters high. It then quickly splits into two tiers: a lower and an upper section. The lower tier is initially walkable but soon narrows considerably before a turn, requiring a potential crawl that has not yet been attempted, and features a small pooling of water. The upper tier is reached by a careful 3-meter climb and similarly narrows before a corner.

This cave is certainly worth of a proper exploration and survey in time.
