Like Indiana Jones

We went further into the bush, almost at the wetlands, to the catacombs.

Catacombs

It was all very Indiana Jones, as we went through dark tunnels, slipped through crevaces, and disturbed a cave full of flying foxes. Max showed us remnants of life and of trade with neighbours overland and overseas. An axe. A rosewood domino. Shards of Chinese pottery. A Dutch tobacco box. All untouched, as it was when the locals were moved to settlements 50 or so years ago.
