School Tours
A special history lesson on the challenges faced by Australia's first white explorers nearly two centuries ago. Taking advantage of the many viewing spots of the spectacular wilderness it is impossible not to appreciate the pioneer's despair of ever conquering the daunting challenge. The famous limestone Jenolan Caves and other educational activities allow an ecological experience in the mountains.
