Loading Docs 2017 - Luckie Strike
Web (Full Length) – 2017
...if Junior and Luckie Strike could be connected, this would create a magnificent through trip. Cavers could visit the back of Luckie and exit through Junior, minutes from the road, instead of undergoing a taxing four-hour journey back the way they came. This idea has inspired people to spend time digging in the claustrophobic Junior over last few years.– Director Melissa Nickerson on the mission to connect the two cave systems, NZ Geographic
Like kneeling in a bath of porridge with a rainstorm coming down on your head.– Caver Mike Allen on the Junior Mudball cave system
It might be a water course that you have to grovel down on your belly. It could be a chamber that's a hundred metres across and a hundred metres high. It's the unknown which makes it exciting.– Caver Mike Allen
