...maps at all. Cavers tend to "look at their feet and not at the walls, so there could be other art work down there," Clarke says as he adjusts his hard hat before going inside. Years of studying the spiders, beetles, aquatic snails and other invertebrates that shun the sunlit world have led Clarke into many of Tasmania's darkest corners, often by very uncomfortable routes. So for a caver who thinks nothing of slithering on his belly along an underground tunnel just wide enough to fit his body, with only his head above water - "we call it roof sniffing...

The Big Three could also try to break the logjam on voting weights that scuppered the constitutional talks in December, and they will likely produce small practical measures like liberalizing Europe's energy market...
