Notes: Eric and Eleanor Dark had been searching for years for their own private cave, and decided this was it. Eleanor named it Jerrikellimi and the family spent time there over the years as a retreat from the pressures of life. It was Eleanor herself who, jokingly, when asked what the name Jerrikellimi meant, gave the flippant reply, ‘Retreat of the Dark People’. In actual fact the name, Jerrikellimi is a combination of the family’s Christian names. J (John) ERIK (Erik) ELLI (Eleanor) MI (Michael)
