Mammoth
Cave is the most easily accessible of all the show caves in the region, with wheelchair access to the first chamber. Over 10,000 fossils had at one time accumulated inside the
cave; upon excavating many of these were found to be remains of Australian Megafauna (giant animals) that became extinct around 46,000 years ago. There is even a 50,000 year old 'zygomaturus' jawbone embedded in the
cave wall.
The
cave features stalactites, stalagmites and large columns where two of these formations have met. A prominent formation in one of the smaller chambers looks like a large coloured shawl.
Entry to the
cave is from the eastern side and the exit is on the western side of Caves Road. A short bushwalk through the forest takes visitors back to their cars.
Mammoth
Cave is open every day 9am - 5pm. Closed Christmas Day. Wheelchair access to first chamber (sorry no prams or strollers). Gift
shop - Snacks and drinks.
