The breathtaking Blue Mountains World Heritage Area consists of one million hectares of towering forests, sheer sandstone cliffs, tremendous canyons, cascading waterfalls and tranquil bushland. For more than a century the Blue mountains regions has been a favourite holiday destination for Australians and overseas tourists alike. Do you know why the Blue mountains are so blue?

Jenolan Caves

Around 450 million years ago when Australia's eastern coastline was further inland, coral atolls developed around a series of partially submerged volcanoes. The coral became compressed and developed into Australia's most spectacular limestone caves. About 1840, James and Charles Whalan discovered the caves. The government appointed Jeremiah Wilson as guide and caretaker of the caves in 1867. The name was changed to Jenolan, Aboriginal for 'high mountain' in 1884. Improvements were made to the caves with cement floors and handrails added, and electric lighting in 1887. In the late 1880s the road from Mount Victoria and Hartley was built allowing carriages to drive all the way. In 1884 the 'six foot track' was built. Many more caves were discovered, the last being the River Cave in 1903. Jenolan Caves are world famous limestone caves containing amazing rock formations. Guided tours of caves take about two hours and contain many steps.
