Pandora Access

For your information, the land owner will use the power of the law if any further groups are caught accessing Pandora Mine. This is a sad day for mine exploring, especially for me as i have spent four years clearing, bolting and generally working my nuts of for nothing. More heritage diapears, when will this H&S madness end, does anyone really care.
