Got the Marsden Grotto not so far from us, a pub in an opened up beach cliff cave. A few on here might know it, but I cannot find any decent pictures of it online.

This is the website:

Cannot seem to see any decent pictures of it online.

Remember being a kid oh so back when and Dad had a copy of this

http://www.amazon.com/PEOPLES-AUSTRALIA-MELANESIA-INCLUDING-GUINEA/dp/B000S675BI

and I read about Coober Pedy and the houses carved into the rock there in opel mines, small shopping centre, homes with swimming pools in, all underground.

What is it about the feeling of natural living rock around you, from the caves I have been in it is like completeness if you know what I mean?


RE: Rock house - Kenneth Eames - 27 January 2013

Many people in the past have lived in rock caves and it is something that I have considered for a dwelling if a situation arises. I am looking for a decent sized one, as so far, most that I have seen here are reasonably small. There is a reasonably good one about four miles away but it is too near the sea. Access is by way of the shore. Kenneth Eames.
