Yarrangobilly Caves

We took a day trip to visit the Caves around Kosciusko NP. There are 3 Caves open and we chose two; Jersey Cave and Jellabenan Cave. Both are guided tours.
Jersey Cave has black and grey flowstones with display of stunning and diverse cave decorations i.e stalactites, stalactites. The tour took an hour and half.

Jellabenan Cave is possibly the oldest at Yarrangobilly. It has displays of delicate straws and shawls, cave coral, stalactites and helictites. The tour took an hour as its smaller and I believed the only cave with wheelchair access. This is fantastic as I am sure someone who is wheelchair-bound all their lives would never have seen a cave. I am definitely going to mention this to my nephew.

After lunch, we planned to take a dip in the thermal pool which is constantly at 27C fed from natural spring. However, two bus loads of school kids turned up to put us off. Maybe another day.
