Geocache Description:

I have hidden 21 caches along the road to Jenolan Caves, each with safe parking, just off the sealed road.

All caches are on the lefthand side, heading towards Jenolan when starting from number 1, off the Great Western Highway.

There is some really nice views along this road that i think don't get much notice, as there is no reason to stop and look. 


Jenolan Caves House


Image of caves house

In 1898 the current Jenolan Caves House was built,

replacing the earlier wooden accommodation house built by Jeremiah Wilson,

which had been partially destroyed in 1895 by fire.

Designed in 1897 by government architect, Walter Liberty Vernon, as a resort or retreat for the wealthy.

To cater for the expectations of the well-to-do, Vernon included a ballroom and grand dining room.
