Frankly, caves give me the creeps nowadays.
That's because I dislocated my shoulder in one while caving in Margaret River just last year. But we didn't regret the relatively short but slithery 75km drive-up to Jenolan Caves this afternoon. Quite pretty. I mean we've been to caves before but we thought Jenolan was one of the better ones.
Because its quite the tourist puller, Jenolan has nice concrete stairways that even the slow and old can navigate. None of the crawling around in overalls and helmet like what I had to do the last time.
I shan't bore you with the limestone details but Stalagmites grow upwards and Stalactites, downwards from the ceiling of the cave.
Some Calcite crystal that glows in the dark when you shine a torch through. I wasn't paying attention to the guide when he was explaining the difference between Limestone and Calcite =)) Pity its not green or we could pretend it was Krptonite.
Oh yeah and if you guys wanna go, bring a pullover cos its cold in there. And I mean cold.
