1890. goto sourcepage 52:- "..." "There is a small sike to the west [of Long Kin Cave], and this finds its way through a rocky fissure in the black marble, in the form of broken cascades, into a cavern-like gulf, that must not be mistaken for any of the places just described, but is still sufficiently interesting as to deserve some passing notice." "Marble Pot." "A little nearer the long allotment wall is a large shakehole, measuring eighty feet down the shortest slope; on the north-eastern side a stream enters with rapid descent, and forms a fall twelve feet in height. At the bottom is the mouth of a grand pot-hole, forty-three feet deep, with waterfall entering it of corresponding height. In fine weather the water supply is small. The rocks are of marble, in some places highly polished." |
