Thread: Abandoned mine on Crosby hut track

Spent every xmas holidays up there, as a kid, explored heaps of gold mines The Old guys up there told us not to go into any mine that DIDNT have wetas.. but then again,they might've hated kids. Watch out for vertical shafts running down in the middle of the floor,nearly went fell down one of those, and they could be covered in rotten wood etc

Sounds like great fun!

How come you weren't supposed to go into a mine without wetas?

Now that sounds dodgy as.

Yup I come from coal mining and there is heaps of different gases you can get.
Usually stone drives not so bad but decomposing wood and timber etc can produce some and at the least you could have Carbon dioxide down there.
Cant breath that stuff.
