Take a break from your world and visit the timeless seclusion of Jenolan Caves, where the beauty above and below ground are inspirational.
Underworld Exploration: Being underground draws on senses that you may not have experienced before. Imagine a maze of ancient limestone tunnels, subterranean rivers, and caverns richly draped with exotic mineral deposits.
Aborigines first named the area Binnomea or Dark Places. By the 1830s European settlers started to explore the caves. Over 40kms of multi-level passageways have now been discovered beneath its mantle of eucalypt forest.
This special and fragile landscape has been created over millions of years and its importance reflected by World Heritage Listing. Formation has occurred through a complex relationship between water, rock, atmosphere and the lifeforms that inhabit the environment. The caves await your exploration.
