| The Cathedral Cave tour begins in a magnificent cave entrance where fig tree roots cling to the limestone walls, shy rock wallabies hide in crevices and the cool cave air emerges from the darkness below. The guide leads through smaller caves decorated with ancient stalactites and flowstones, past rare ferns into large chambers revealing images on the rock scapes that the early explorers used as navigation markers. After rainfall thousands of little bats cluster on the cave ceilings to leave at dusk to feed on insects. The natural acoustics of the Cathedral Cave make it a popular venue for weddings and Underground Opera. As visitors listen in awe to the music, the lights are dimmed and cave darkness takes on a new meaning. The guide lights a candle and recounts tales of the first cave explorer John Olsen. A fun option to end the tour is negotiating the narrow Zig Zag passage and emerge into daylight on the swinging bridge in the dry rain forest. |
