Yarrangobilly Caves

We went to the Kosciusko National Park, Yarrangobilly for a cultural tour, a swim in the thermal waters, and a cave tour. An amazing place.



First stop was the cultural tour. We learned how to make string, how to start a fire using just two bits of wood, and then how to throw boomerangs. This guy made the spears at the visitor centre in Tumut. He is an impressive guy.




The second stop was to the thermal pool. It's incredible to think the warm water in the middle of the Snowy Mountains, but there it is. Amazing views, a great swim, everyone enjoyed it.





Next stop was the cave tour, all v v good.

Finally, we came back via the Tumut 3 power station near Talbingo. Funny to think of this place as getting snow, as it feels way too hot in summer.





The pipes that look so tiny from afar, are really huge close up. They're made of steel.






Huge pipes.







Back in Batlow. Seems a lot of places are for sale. It's a great little town, and can be again with a rail trail to pump in the tourism dollars.

Our efforts to make string. Nailed it! (?)
