"Mt Gambier in regional South Australia is well known for its incredible sinkholes, but below the fish and yabbies sits ancient creatures waiting to be discovered. At the Cave Diving Association of Australia’s (CDAA’s) 50th Anniversary meeting, researchers and other members are diving deep into these sink holes to discover fossils of extinct marsupial megafauna. The dives at the Englebrechts, Gouldens and Tank caves are part of a collaboration between the CDAA, Griffith, the University of Queensland, University of Adelaide and the South Australian Museum." #cavediving https://cosmosmagazine.com/history/megafauna-sink-holes-diving-palaeontology/

"Researchers are heading into the deep in regional South Australia to uncover the secrets of the larger-than-life creatures that once roamed the landscape. SA's Limestone Coast was once home to massive animals such as the short-faced kangaroo, which stood 2 metres tall and weighed up to 200 kilograms. The remains of the short-faced kangaroo and other megafauna lay fossilised in a system of limestone caves the region is famous for. A Griffith University team is focusing on the caves, including Gouldens Sinkhole near Mount Schank and Tank Cave at Tantanoola." #cavediving https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-11-09/megafauna-fossil-cave-diving-limestone-coast-south-australia/103068382
