"Back in 1968, an auspicious meeting was held in a Takaka Hill woolshed between Van Watson, an impetuous young Waitomo caver, and ex-British caver Julia James, 'a lady tornado', who was lecturing in chemistry at the University of Sydney. Van and Jules discovered a mutual interest in a quest to find the deepest hole (cave) in the world . their quest focussed on the marble massifs of Mt Arthur and Mt Owen, in the South Island of NZ, with a series of recces and annual Xmas expeditions . Following rumours in 1970 of very thick limestone beds in the Lavani Valley region of PNG, with the potential for a world depth record cave . this book is Van's narrative of how the trip was conceived 47 years ago, plus a selection of tales from those still on their perches, how they viewed the 1973 expedition and what they went on to achieve. Paul Caffyn has tied it all together with his "better than average" photographs and snuck in a few chapters of his own" --Back cover.
