About Gunns Plains Cave
Mr Bill Woodhouse of Gunns Plains discovered Gunns Plains Cave in 1906
during a hunting trip. The cave consists of a series of of caverns and
short passages through which visitors are escorted along well lit
concrete pathways.
The cave entrance is situated 30 metres from
the car park. Upon entry a steep flight of 54 concrete steps are
descended and from this point the pathway is fairly level apart from a
short ladder to be climbed down. The tour route through the cave is
some 275 metres long. Occasional dampness underfoot is not troublesome
provided visitors wear low-heeled walking shoes. It is not recommended
for those with health or mobility concerns.
The cave was formed
by an underground river that still flows and contains Giant Freshwater
Lobster, fish and eel. Platypus sleep and nest in the sandy banks along
the river. Lofty chambers contain many varied formations including
magnificent calcite shawls.
