On the day of your experience we will either pick you up from Melbourne or meet you at Bunyip. From Bunyip we will take you up a winding 4WD dirt road to the secluded cave site. Once at the caving site we will give you a safety briefing and you will prepare and put on your caving equipment. To begin the adventure you will abseil into the cave system. Feel the excitement build as you descend into this wondrous underground world.
In these caverns under the earth you will find phosphorous worms and a gentle stream that meanders its way through granite boulders that are as big as dinosaur eggs! This unique granite boulder cave system is one of very few that are located in Victoria. Within the rocks you will be able to see the story of historical land formation. During this caving adventure you will spend much of your time climbing up and down this spectacular system that has eroded into the landscape. With two entry and exit points and about three different levels to the cave system, there’s so much to explore!
