Once you get down, there is only so far you can go until you reach a shaft. You have to climb back up and go down again to see the rest. Kind of cool.. Then past that there is a little more you can explore in another stope. You need rope again. As far as flooded tunnels, I wasn't sure if Porky was referring to another mine with tunnels that were partially flooded.

We have been to the Sunk mine. A very cool mine. It is probably one of the more adventurous mines given what you have to go through in order to explore the mine. In the lower levels, you have to either bring your own boat, or use one of the damaged cracked ones to cross the water filled winze. These is a rope provided that you can use to cross it.. Then cross another winze that you can get by without a boat. Then there is another chamber you need waders for. Then you can finally get to the end.
