Hello all,
We were up around the Cracroft valley recently and noticed the old track to Judds cavern, and noted it in Chapmans guide.
It is listed there as a part of Wargata Mena Aboriginal Site.
A general search found very little info except that it was a stencil site.
Caving info noted that it is a 1.6km stream cave with other smaller caves around in the scrub.
Is anyone aware of how one may go about visiting the area , if indeed it is possible at all.
Cheers

Judds Cavern is certainly a very interesting place. In the old days (early 80's) it was a common campsite on the way to Moss Ridge or the Craycroft River. The actual cave itself looks like a railway tunnel coming out into the rainforest. It was easy to wander inside with candles or torch - and easy to walk for 100's of metres along a large open passage. I think the cave was pretty well explored by spelios in the mid 70's when the Farmhouse Creek track was cut.
