More limestone caves although not as spectacular as Jenolan.  Two caves were on show – The Royal and Fairy -  there are another two but these only open in summer.   Very narrow passageways with a lot of ducking and crouching to get through.  What was interesting here was that you had big stalactites and stalagmites and columns but you also had a serious number of little stalactites.  You can see the whole of the cave roof covered with them in this picture.

These are fossil remains of bits of crushed shell.

Columns and shawls.

Flow stones.

This is the end of one of the flow stones, all wrinkled and wobbly!

Looks like frost but cave coral.

This is Frank Moon who was employed by the Victorian government to hunt out limestone caves, presumably so as to compete with NSW Jenolan Caves.  What a job.  He found Fairy Cave on 18^th March 1907 and then worked his way through the system into the other caves.

Roots growing into the cave – we were about 30m underground at this point.

The reason this was called Fairy Cave, the glitter!

Edge of a shawl.  First time I noticed the serrated edge of the shawl.  Reminds me of eating skate wing.

These are weird stalagmites, fat at the top.  Presumably growth has decreased for some reason.

More cave coral.
