Tantanoola Cave

April 13th, 2008 - 8:46pm

Stalactites, sheets and straws hang from the roof of the Tantanoola Cave, near Mount Gambier.

I’ve never photographed the inside of a cave before; when we arrived at the single-caverned cave, the tour guide gave us a quick guide and explanation of the place and then left us on our own.

There was only one other person in the cave who left a couple of minutes after our arrival, so we had the entire place to ourselves. The silence was deafening. Every time the shutter opened or closed, it would resonate throughout the entire cave.

I managed to grab a few good shots before we left, but I like this one not only because I think it looks good, but because it shows a good range of cave formations.
