The link I provided looked so promising no sign that it was in black and white! Oh well....

It was in colour, but the version that survived and got reissued by Network DVD was in Black & White for some reason
It was 1973

Quite a few early colour shows only exist in B&W, as they were often copied onto B&W film for export, & the original colour tapes were wiped & reused.

All I can remember of this series is that it was broadcast on kids daytime tv in the school summer holidays around 1970. It was a mystery or adventure with much of the plot and action set in dark caverns, and its title theme was a sort of aboriginal chant which I can still remember as very unsettling and creepy. Does this stir any memories for anyone? Thanks.

It was called 'Wandjina magic'

meant to add, it was set in Australia - the caves were aboriginal and the plot involved ancient aliens

Sorry, been off site for quite a while. Many thanks, Evil McBad, this sounds like the most promising answer, it ticks all the boxes. Pity it's not on youtube. Was beginning to doubt my own memory lol.
