Nullarbour Hideout Movie

I agree the lake area is Webubbie but the entrance & outside shots are different, I have also not been back to Webubbie since the late seventy's (Cave Diving)
It would have been an adventure for your folks & you as a kid, what a trip just to get there in 1954 let alone scramble climb lower yourself down the many different caves, mind you if they had any of those timber ladders they may have had all there rungs back then
I'm leaving in mid-April from the south coast of NSW & heading up to Townsville then across to WA & coming back across the Nullarbor & had planned to visit some of the caves again (not to dive) but several are now closed

Yes, I don't recognise the entrance.
Abracurrie was a walk-in collapsed doline from memory, but it is not that one, but there are hundreds of caves on the Nullarbor.

We used a rope ladder with wooden rungs that we made on the Plain.

The group travelled in an open sided canopy on the back of a truck and a brand new Holden ute supplied by GMH. On this day it was about 50C with a strong north wind and we thought it was going to rain, so were heading south to the main road. Vehicles were overheating badly.

There were 21 in the group I think, mostly Rover Scouts and some Adelaide Uni students. My father organised the trip and the cave guide was Captain Maitland J Thompson.

Yours truly top centre.
CEGSA was formed as a direct result of this trip and I was a keen caver for the next 20 years.
Cheers,

I remember climbing down the old springy steel ladder at Koonalda Cave on my first trip across in 1963 , called in again in 1967 but the ladder had the bottom half broken off. have photo's ( black and white ) somewhere.
