Open Every Day - As Always!
|
Open Every Day, No Matter What!
In living memory, Jenolan Caves has not closed for even one day. In 1942, we nearly closed, due to fuel shortages and bushfires. But even then, closure turned out to be unnecessary!
Every region of Australia sometimes experiences bushfires, storms and floods which cause travel delays. However, media sensationalism of the recent bushfires has frightened tourists away from the Blue Mountains.

DECEMBER - A HUGE MONTH - BOOK NOW!

BOOK NOW - Dec 7 - Murder Mystery - 'Marriage to the Mob'!
Deep underground in the Lucas Cave, 1930s American Prohibition is in full swing, and bootlegging gangsters have taken the law into their own hands.
Follow the action, as it moves from the vastness of the Cathedral chamber to the skeletal remains in, where else, the Bone chamber!
There are enough twists and turns to confuse all but the most dedicated sleuths. In 'Marriage to the Mob', a wedding reception is taking place. But behind the happy smiles are steamy relationships, ruthless criminals, bent cops, icepicks and the odd gunshot! www.jenolancaves.org.au/event.asp?pid=74&id=4&sdid=56
