Mary, I'm clutching at straws no doubt but either of these "Passage to India" I remember caves, but not an aunt. Or "Picnic at Hanging Rock" where there was definitely a picnic and caves, but not sure about an aunt ?

I'll have a go now.

Aunt, fence, crush, picnic and caves.

Don't know if it's been done before!
