Australia's most spectacular caves | WIDE

Underground the World Heritage Blue Mountains wilderness sets the Jenolan Caves. Dated at 340 million years old, these limestone caves are the oldest on the planet. The underground network extends over 30 kilometres, also making it the largest cave system on earth.
Gordon Mills, a guide of the Jenolan Caves since 12 years ago, tells how the remarkable site came into existence, while explaining the formation of the spectacular crystals.

Amazing cave. Never heard of it before tonight. I live in Kentucky, home of Mammoth Cave. Fascinating how Aussies do caves.

Second cave was more spooky before you guys added stairs and pathways. I think that Temple of Baal section is where you can turn your lights out then the phosphorescent spots on the ceiling slowly become visible in the dark. Looks kind of like stars in the night.
