Mermaids Cave, Sandstone cave in Blue Mountains, Australia
The natural cave formation features an impressive overhang with a cascading waterfall nearby, situated between two towering cliff walls.
The cave received its official name in 1882, marking the beginning of its documented presence in New South Wales geological records.
The location gained additional recognition when it served as a filming site for scenes in the 1985 movie Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
Visitors can reach the cave through a 660-meter return trail from Megalong Valley Road, with parking available in a lay-by opposite the trailhead.
During rainfall periods, water flows create a natural curtain effect at the cave entrance, forming a temporary waterfall through the sandstone formations.
