Imapa River

The Imapa flows from the Kalkadoon Hills west to Yarrunga, where a bridge carries the Coast Road across it. Since it comes from underground, it is cool upstream. It warms up eventually and has plenty of fish farther downstream. Explorers following the river discovered it flows out of a series of caverns. The first is a squeeze to enter, but once inside the others are larger with incredible rock formations. Since that discovery, the caverns have been used as a ritual location for Bat, creator-spirit of the night and underground places. Of course, a person could invoke Bat on any night when the moon is gone and the sparkling footprints of the Sky Father can be seen across the sky, but caverns seem to have a special power for people that the night sky itself does not usually have.
