What do these numbers mean? How do I find these caves? Thanks.
wondering the same thing about the numbers ? i tried researching where these caves are and only found hayes cave in the south maitland area .
I’ve been to a number of these caves! It’s great to see a compiled list of sites! I’m also wondering what the number at the end of each site means?
The list has been ordered and re-ordered several times on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NSExplore/
I looked back over the posts and the trailing numbers don’t immediately make sense, when I find out I’ll post a clarifying note. As far as how to find them, again the list was compiled largely by people contributing ones they’ve heard of, or known, adding directions and more information is a longer process of getting people to elaborate.
Some friends and I are looking for some caves around NS, and we can’t seem to find any other then Hayes. If any of you know of some could you shoot me some locations around NS (mainland not CB island) of some good caves or mineshafts? Thanks in advance
