150 years ago, fine gentlemen and corseted ladies viewed the vast caverns of Jenolan by candlelight.  But now, tourism is no longer about sightseeing.  Consumers demand interaction, technology, engagement, adventure and immersion in unique cultural experiences.

That is why we have won so many awards. We use imagination and technology to reinvent and refresh the way you experience Australia’s most spectacular (and the world’s oldest) caves. Highlighting our heritage and culture has proven to be one of our secrets to success. For full details, see our website.

On February 10, Andrew visited Jenolan Caves. Drumming around the mountains, the first thing he did was to set up his drum kit in the Grand Arch, to experience the thunderous acoustics. Then he and his wife, Rachel, spent 2 hours crawling, squeezing, abseiling and sliding into the heart of our limestone mountain, on our Plughole Adventure Tour!

The Orient Cave was discovered in 1904 and opened to the public in 1917. Visitors enter via the manmade tunnel - the Binoomea Cut.  Visitors are guided up and down 358 stair steps, from 'Bat End', through a treasure trove of breathtaking crystal formations, passages and richly decorated caverns.  The mind-boggling 'Persian Chamber' is arguably the most beautiful at Jenolan. The Orient Cave is said to be amongst the most stunning caves in the world.

They arrived at Jenolan Caves for a night inspection of the Left Imperial Cave, now the Chifley. A broadcast of the Duke speaking from the cave was also scheduled. However, because of his stammer, he decided not to proceed with the broadcast. 

Following their cave visit, the Duke and Duchess sat down to a splendid 15 course dinner, including such mouth watering choices as lobster neuberg, roast turkey St. James and rum omlette. A copy of the full menu, signed by their Royal Highnesses, hangs in the dining room of Caves House.

Read the full story.

There was a fascinating nostalgia tour of the Chifley Cave (previously called the 'Left Imperial').  

Then, in the early afternoon, there was a 'Grand High Tea' in Chisolm's Restaurant.  Some guests got into the spirit by dressing up in 1920s fashion.  While they enjoyed the dainty sandwiches, scones and delicious sweets, they were entertained by the New Empire Ballroom Ragtime Dance Orchestra.

Afterwards, they were treated to a guided tour of Caves House, with a focus on its unique history.  It was a fun, fascinating and frivolous day!
