Introduction

Jenolan Caves lie in the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia, forming a vast and ancient limestone cave system often considered among the oldest open show caves in the world. Inside, stalactites, stalagmites, columns and flowstone curtains are finely formed, and calcite crystals glisten under the lights, with the underground scenery constantly changing. Several caves are open to the public, each with its own character: the larger chambers have high, grand ceilings, while easier sections suit most visitors. The caves are generally seen only on guided tours, whose routes and lengths vary by cave, so confirm and book ahead. The caves are about three hours by car from Sydney and combine well with the Blue Mountains.
