Jenolan Caves

As we left our makeshift campsite, we headed down the road to the Jenolan Caves. We had heard about them from some folks that we met on the airplane. On the way to the caves, we got our first introduction to the steep winding roads of rural New South Wales. The engineers that designed these roads were certainly feeling adventurous! When we reached the bottom, we passed through a tunnel, parked and found out that the only way to see the caves is to start with a guided tour. The first one of the day was about a half hour after we arrived. We hemmed and thought about it, then decided it would be worth the money...

It was. The caves are well done with walkways and railings to protect the caves and lighting along the way. Our guide did a nice job of explaining the history of the caves and, of course, the picture do not give it justice.
