Pollbwee is a feature associated with the Monastir Caves. There are two main entrances to the upper Monastir Caves (Bruce's Pot and Pollbwee) and these have been connected. Bruce's Pot is located at the eastern end of Monastir Cliff and Pollbwee is situated just south of the Marlbank Loop road above Monastir. Both entrances consist of a series of abandoned vadose shafts leading to apparently static lakes. | |
