Geocache Description:

I have hidden 21 caches along the road to Jenolan Caves, each with safe parking, just off the sealed road.

All caches are on the lefthand side, heading towards Jenolan when starting from number 1, off the Great Western Highway.

There is some really nice views along this road that i think don't get much notice, as there is no reason to stop and look. 


The Elder Cave


Image of cave

Named from the Elder tree, visitors would climb down to enter the doline (sinkhole).

The Elder Cave was the first of the caves at Jenolan to be found and opened to tourists.

It was later considered too difficult to develop adequately and tours eventually ceased; however in the late 1990s the Elder Cave was re-opened for adventure caving, and is sold as the Plughole Tour.

It is not as decorated as the regular show caves, but features signatures left

by early visitors and includes a short section of the Imperial Cave.
