This is place is named Growling Swallet.
"swallet":
swal·let [swol-it]
noun,
1. an underground stream.
2. an opening through which a stream descends underground.

This would not be a "recovery operation" should things go pear-shaped while attempting such a crossing , in other words. Definition #2 applies at the rock face at middle right, the river emerges 10km further on after dropping (literally) into one of the deepest and most extensive cave systems in Australia.

Anyhow, Forestry Tasmania in their magnanimity have decided that in the spirit of keeping public forests and access to National Parks open to all have placed a locked steel boom gate over the track which gets you into this area. So you'd need to pack a demolition saw in the FL2 to gain access rather than a winch to attempt any such futile attempt at salvage.

Or, as I did, lace up the Scarpa boots, put on the backpack and walk in, past the National Parks sign further on warning of impending doom and certain death should one ignore their sage and not-nanny-state-at-all advice that proceeding further will for sure inflict upon the transgressor.

It is true that the acknowledged nut-case pursuit of speleology has indeed resulted in some fatalities here, but as I had no intent of donning wetsuit, silly helmet, head-lamp, harness and climbing ropes nor the subterranean decent that this involves, I figured I might be able to avoid this dire prediction and return in safety with my photographs, which, as evidenced, was indeed the outcome.

Never been down in the South West, maybe get across next year, December most likely, travelled much of the globe but Tasmania is special. A lot of family over there, Launceston, St Helens and Avoca mainly.
Very happy memories of my wedding at Rosevears, might look you up if we get over, shame that they are barring access but the tree huggers are a problem too. Eye opening for most people when the Tarmac stops

Binalong Bay, miles of empty white sandy beaches, this was taken 18th December during the holiday season

One of the Rellies trying to work out how the roof fitted as it was off the previous day, bit of a pain in Tasmania as the roll over hoop gets activated on some of the rough roads, comes up with a heck of a bang so was easier with the hard top on as it stops the hoop deploying. 6 litre V12 a real dream and still in the family.
