The caves are well worth a visit. We toured the stunning Orient cave on the 1st day, stayed the night in a family room (very comfortable), had dinner in the Jenolan House restaurant (outstanding lamb shanks & desserts to die for) & toured the popular Lucas cave the next day. We also did the river walk (in the blue lagoon I 1st thought the bubbles that float regularly to the surface were turtles but we soon learnt that they are in fact a family of resident Platypus - very cool!) There's also a self-guided cave you can visit called the Devil's coachhouse - a decent walk not for the faint hearted but there's also a lookout you can reach without having to venture down the side of the mountain for the entry to the massive cave. You'll find it along the six foot walking track. Will definitely be returning with swimmers for the waterfall lagoon & to tour the many other caves.

A beautiful blue, shallow lake with plenty of wildlife including wallabies, birds, lizards galore, but also snakes. My partner and I came across a beautiful Red-bellied Black Snake by the water's edge about 2-3 meters from where we were standing on the path. He was lazily sunning himself by the water and wasn't too bothered by us. We kept our distance anyway but enjoyed watching him slither away. These guys are venomous but so long as you give them a wide berth (don't try to chase or touch them) they won't hurt you. The walk has several creek crossings over small bridges and a lovely waterfall you can also swim in. There are also platypus here that you may be lucky to see at dawn/dusk.
