No idea what the OP says.
When I found Lumo I looked into glow worms & bats.
Bats don't take well to people walking through their habitat during hibernation & breeding season, so we only explored it during the summer, but then as more and more people explored it at random times, the bats moved on.
The glow worms don't like noise, smoke, spray paint, etc.
Just taking known trusted people seemed to work for the first 12 years, but as the urbex scene grew in recent years & more people have been exploring it, the amount of glow worms have continued to deteriorate to where there is only half of what there originally was.
The good news is that they recently put cameras on the tunnel & now that it's part of the watersupply, it's no longer a Melbourne Water bylaw to get caught in there, but a criminal offense, so as people get caught & get convictions, the word is going around & people are losing interest in it, and hopefully the glow worms & bats get to rejuvenate in the tunnel.
I'm pretty sure once ImaGladRag finds the Melbourne Water building where the entrance is located, that will be the end of it.
