18/10/2006: "EWEN PONDS (picture) ......Base Camp"

Wet suits hang on a farmer's gate for drying. An open fire provided much needed warmth as this was winter in Australia.

Our base camp for filming the vast freshwater spring. Home was in this canvas tent. Wild field mushrooms were in plentiful supply nearby.

This was the first commercial underwater filming project at this crystal water system near the Victoria-South Australian border.

A documentary (1967) The Cave Divers was sponsored by a (cough) tobacco company.
