Tea Party Chamber Dig.
We got down the cave for 1100, after lowering 3 bags, 1 drill box and 5l of water which we carried through. We also picked up another 3 bags on route from The Boulder Rift chamber and took everything to TPC. Once we got to TPC FB started mixing and MK started cleaning rock ready for cementing. MK gave FB a quick lesson in PF work and she downsized boulders whilst MK cemented. 3 mixes in total today. At one point a huge boulder came out from the right hand side (as you face the solid wall) and nearly took MK's leg out, so MK added another vertical on that side and braced it off another corner with a diagonal. 1 bag of grit sand, 1 bag of builders, 2 drums of cement, 1 scaffold bar and 2 x 5l of water in cave. We headed out with 2 bags stuffed with bags, the drill box and we also picked up a redundant 50m of firing cable on the way to Puddle Dig (Pool of Tears).

Puddle Dig.
Here we cleared back to the dam until it was full, then we drilled 5 holes @ 600mm x 10mm. Noise made. Out for 1600. 2 whole bags of grit sand in lockbox, no cement. Mike
