I was traveling with my wife last week and we visited the limestone cave in Buchan Vic the sitalectite and mites are formed as the calcite wihich is dissolved in the water passes through the limestone and drips or runs slowly building up the deposits.I hope you enjoy the pics , we did.

We've toured several. That looks like an exceptionally nice one. Thanks for the pictures.

You are making me homesick. Some of the caves I have been to as a kid are absolutely on my bucket-list when I finally do get home. Great pictures, thanks for sharing.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
