Stalagmites or stalactites?
Soz not all of us did Earth and Environmental Science during
our HSC. I know for a fact, some of our readers haven’t even heard these words
before… But for all you cave experts who've had the opportunity to go on an
excursion to the Jenolan Caves, Blue Mountains, you’ll agree with me that
stalagmite and stalactite formations are more than cool – they ice cold. And It’s
startin’ to get real hot now that Summer’s just around the corner, and what
better way to cool down and do a bit of spelunking with your fambam or your
best gal pal, by going on one of Jenolan caves’ spectacular cave tours.
Eleven of Australia’s most impressive limestone caves are
open to the public everyday of the year, with magical lighting, underground
rivers and crazy cave formations. Knowledgeable tour instructors guide the
group through a range of tours. From exciting adventure cave tours for the thrill seekers out there where you need to squeeze, crawl and climb through
winding, ancient passageways, to the twilight tours between 8-10pm where you wear
a helmet and headlamp, and hear Jenolan’s mysterious and spinetingling stories
of the unexplained by torchlight.
Chill out this summer, get to know your stalactites and stalagmites, and venture
into these amazing 340 million year old caves that’re also listed as a UNESCO world
heritage site. Be able to impress your gal with your interest and knowledge in rock hard
calcium formations ;-) And even for the locals, it’ll be an incredibly majestic experience.
