An intertidal cave system consisting of two tunnels which meet at right angles forming a subterraneous passage across the neck of Blockie Head.

The N tunnel runs 34m ESE from the N entrance where it meets the S tunnel at NK 11052 38256. The S tunnel then goes SSW for 14m to the S entrance at NK 11046 38243. Near high tide, it is then possible to kayak along a fairly shallow creek in the wave-cut platform, also going about SSW, to a deeper channel at NK 11039 38219, which runs left and ENE into Dunnihagert (inlet).

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: See entry for the N entrance.
