Yarrangobilly Caves, Cave network in Kosciuszko National Park, Australia
Yarrangobilly Caves is a network of underground chambers carved into limestone within Kosciuszko National Park. The system contains multiple passages decorated with natural formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstone deposits along its walls.
The limestone formations originated roughly 440 million years ago when this region lay beneath ancient seas. Over time, water carved these underground chambers into the shape visitors discover today.
The area holds deep roots with the Wiradjuri people who inhabited these lands for thousands of years. Visitors can learn about their connection to the caves and the landscape through information shared at the site.
The visitor center on-site sells tickets and provides information for cave tours ranging from simple walks to more involved explorations. You can choose between self-guided options or led expeditions depending on your experience level and preferences.
Near the caves sits a natural thermal pool that maintains roughly 27 degrees Celsius year-round, allowing swimmers to enjoy a warm bath regardless of the season. This geothermal feature provides a pleasant contrast to the cold cave environment just nearby.
