Jenolan Caves

The last few days have been a true test to what we plan on being in for soon. It's only been a few days since we left Canberra and it feels like we have seen enough places to fill a couple of weeks. It started in Canberra after the long, stressful and unprepared drive we took to get there that night. In Canberra our first goal was to not get caught …

Today was a day you could not see anything of the mountains or the spectacular views I had been led to believe were there. My flight was uneventful and quite nice as I got two seats together which allowed me to sleep really well. It was really good to see Fi and Aliciaa, thanks for such a great welcome and for doing so much for me during my trip. < …

We decided late last night to go on a day tour through a Sydney service to the Blue Mountains and the Jenolan Caves. We boarded at 8am (ouch) and drove up on a tour bus to a place call Scenic World. It is where we were able to take a walk through the rain forest and get picturesque views of the three sisters - a natural formation of rock at the …

Unfortunately we have been without Internet again for the last few days so I'm going to compress as much as possible into this entry. If you get bored just skip to the pictures, there's a lot of them this time :) Monday we drove from Gilgandra to Katoomba in the blue mountains. About 350KM south towards Sydney. On the way we had some spare time so …

Hi Guys,

Well we've had an amazing and fun packed 10 days in Sydney and love it even more than we already did! We really don't want to leave but new adventures await us. Here's what's kept us so busy...

We started with the task of finding our new accommodation, a real life hostel!! Compared to our previous journeys, this one was …

Jenolan Caves

Czasami trudno, bo tak dobrze było nam w Sydney, ale komu w drogę.... Przed nami dziś kolejne spektakularne przygody i widoki, no i powrót za kółko, tym razem hyundaia. Ruszamy na wschód od Sydney w Góry Błękitne, oddalone jakieś 100 km. Swoją nazwę zawdzięczają blekitnej …

Es ist Sommer in Australien, auch wenn es sich manchmal nicht so anfühlt. Diese Nacht war definitiv nicht sommerlich! Wir fanden es ziemlich kalt in unserem Camper und Regula „durfte" mit halbgefrorenem Shampoo duschen. Wir wissen, es ist kein Vergleich zu den Temperaturen (und dem Schnee) in der Schweiz, aber trotzdem, wir wollen Sommer!!!< …

We headed out early to Jenolan Caves. The road into the caves is very windy, narrow & only fits one car in some areas. When you near the caves you drive thru the huge cave entrance to the car park. We decided to do 2 cave tours at $65 & $80 each for a family. The 1st was the Orient Cave which was a 1.5hr tour. This cave was the more …

Since arriving in Australia the Babel fish has been out and about all over Sydney; been canyoning in the Blue Mountains; hiking in Kanangra National Park and has almost been eaten at the Three Sisters in ...

Some photos from my first canyoning trip in the Blue ...

After an excellent breakfast at the guesthouse in Katoomba we left for the Jenolan Caves which is located about an hour and a half away. The road in once you left the main highway was very winding and narrow with many sharp corners which made for some ...

The Jenolan Caves are an example of remarkable caverns in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia; 175 kilometres west of Sydney. They are the most celebrated of several similar groups in the limestone of the country being the oldest discovered ...

... . Man fährt durch einen riesen Höhleneingang in ein Tal das irgendwie ein wenig an Bayern erinnert.. dort befindet sich das Jenolan Caves House und die Eingänge zu Zahlreichen Tropfsteinhöhlen. Tempel of Baal, so der Name der Tropfsteinhöhle war ein ...

Having decided to stay put in Katoomba for a while and do short drives out from there, today we went to the Jenolan Caves. This involved one of the worst hairpin drives so far this trip!! Not only was the road very narrow but you couldn't see round the ...

... was really bad so it took a while to drive there. The day was not over yet, we jumped into the car again and drove to Jenolan Caves to do some caving but when we got there they were soon closing so we decided to come back tomorrow morning. We drove on ...

Jenolan Caves are about an hour away from Bathurst. We took a bus supplied by the university to get there. The site is a national park and rightfully so. It was breathtaking. We went on a tour with about 35 other people. The tour takes you into ...

Wednesday 27 December We reluctantly packed up the car to move on from our lovely eco-friendly treehouse (with compost toilet and everything).  Today we were heading inland to the Blue Mountains.  We didn't really have directions as such but ...

... to the day.  Just 11c versus the 32 of the previous day was a welcome relief.  On the way the Jenolan Caves I passed some picturesque villages up in the mountains with twee train stations and fabulous old buildings like the sadly shuttered ...
