Shakehole. In 2nd of two shakeholes SW of Stream Sink, stream can be heard below. Digging revealed body-sized hole cork-screwing through boulders. Projecting rock 1 m down makes progress difficult. Once past, 5 m depth quickly reached, tube then levels out onto loose soil at 45 deg. Stream plainly audible. Progress requires digging but nowhere to dispose of spoil. Hole capped & abandoned.
