Many people assume that they need the agility of
a mountain goat to get through a cave. As long as you
can walk and handle some steps with a handrail
we will not rush you along.


HOW FAR TO
THE CAVE?

 The path from the parking area is a gentle slope that winds for about 40 metres to the cave entrance
Pathway leading to cave from parking area



ARE THERE LOTS OF STAIRS ?

 There are 30 concrete steps entering the cave with
handrails on both sides - obviously no choice on using these. From there on floors are generally flat with occasional steps.
Paths & chambers are lit.
Tours can be modified on request for less mobile visitors
if you don't wish to do any further stairs.




Entrance stairs


WHAT ABOUT WHEELCHAIRS?

We do not have roll-in wheelchair access but if you
can get down the steps with assistance we can
then put you back in the wheelchair at the bottom.

You then have access to a number of chambers
generally floors are flat but connections
between some chambers may be a bit difficult
(refer to previous sentence).




 one happy mother.......
CAN I TAKE MY 90 YEAR OLD GRANNY?

 Of course, as long as she is reasonably mobile.
We recently had a 65 yr old visitor who brought his 92 yr old mother. It was her first cave experience: afterwards she berated him for never having taken her to such a wonderful place before!




CAVE SEATING ?

Yes, that's right! We have armchairs in the cave! As our floors are flat you can sit comfortably for a while: we spend time in the adjacent areas so you can relax and take in the magnificent surroundings.
We'll even carry a chair for you if need be.
(You may also notice that it is possible to take a short nap as well!)
.....then she rested.....

and at Fitzpatrick Trackhead Reserve. (WJ Map)
