The Caves

The village here is called simply The Caves. The caves themselves were discovered by a farmer's children who were supposed to be fetching runaway horses and instead followed a group of Brush Turkeys into the entrance of the cave (very Narnia). The farmer came to inspect the caves the next day and as a result decided to buy the land from the government for £6!

Capricorn Campfire

Last night we were camping at Capricorn Caves and we had a campfire & BBQ. Nice!

Eungella rainforest

Yesterday we went to Eungella rainforest. We saw a huge monitor lizard and 2 cheeky kookaburras stealing people's sandwiches from their hands! I'm glad it didn't happen to us! We ate our picnic on a massive boulder by Araluen cascade surrounded by Blue Ulysses butterflies (photographing butterflies is beyond iPhone photography). We swam and the water was so cold it really pinched you! Even though the water really stung I managed to stay in the longest but I didn't manage to get under the falls.
