Are you still wondering where to go this weekend? Do you know there are several fascinating caves near Queensland? And they are the most intriguing caves worth exploring!
Amazing Caves to Explore in Queensland
Chillagoe-Mungana Caves National Park
Tropical North Queensland Chillagoe-Mungana Caves National Park features wonderful limestone caves. These underground caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone, creating stunning formations like stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstones for visitors to explore.
Cathedral Cave
Near Rockhampton Located on a limestone ridge outside Rockhampton, Cathedral Cave is named for its absolutely stunning natural acoustics. It is often used as an actual cathedral for underground opera performances and even serves as a wedding venue.
Natural Bridge
Gold Coast Hinterland If you’re a nature enthusiast, you must not miss the Natural Bridge! Every sight here is a visual feast, with the rock structure of the bridge forming a natural arch and an echo chamber. When night falls, the fireflies in the cave illuminate the grotto, creating a scene straight out of a dream.
Mt Etna Caves
Near Rockhampton The limestone karst landscape of Mt Etna Caves is formed by the gradual dissolution of ancient coral reefs. It’s perfect for first-time cave explorers.
Cherubs Cave Dive site
Moreton Island This cave is different from the others because Cherubs Cave is underwater! It requires diving to enter this cave, but let me tell you, it’s totally worth it. The cave itself is circular with six different exits. Surrounding the cave are smaller caves and cliffs, and the whole area is teeming with turtles and abundant fish, making you feel like you’ve stepped into the lost city of Atlantis.
