Were you able to hear the sound of your voice echoing around the tunnel or did the words just run out of the end of the tunnel.

I can't quite recall. The tunnel itself went on for quite a while so I guess it depends on where you are standing in it. I remember we had to wade through a few pools of water to get to the other end. A must do if you are in the top end of Australia.

I can't recall any echoes - must have been the stream running through the cave that dampened sound. Also, the First Australians (SBS) mentioned Jandamarra the other night. Legend has it, he hid in this cave and Kimberley area to evade capture by the Constabulary over a century ago.
