Oberon, a great little town on the west side of the Blue Mountains, near Sydney. We chose this town due to its proximity to the Jenolan Caves and the Blue mountains town of Katoomba, and its associated tourist attractions, the Scenic World and the Three Sisters.
After setting ourselves up in a great site and having a well earned rest, due to the great roads we seem attracted to this trip, we planned our next two days. For the first day, a day of high fire danger, we had chosen a trip to the Jenolan Caves. Prior to heading out though we made sure to have a look at the NSW Rural Fire service website to ensure there were no local fire risks. We also packed plenty of water.
The Caves were great, and we ended up on one of the longer tours, with around 900 steps. The caves proved to be cool relief as well with an average temperature of 15deg. It was a big shock then when we came back into the light. As part of our tickets we also got to do a self guided tour of a more outdoors style cave. On our walk back to the car we also managed to disturb various lizards, some of which waited while i took some photos…
After a great day at Jenolan caves we returned to the caravan park for an afternoon rest and an evening walk back into town, where i snapped this shot of the towns original Cinema building the Malachi Gilmore Hall, its looks great but is no longer in operation it seems.
Day two had us driving out to Katoomba and Scenic World where we rode all the attractions.
After Scenic World we headed back into Katoomba to see the Three Sister from another vantage point, along with all the other tourists.
After all this it was back to the van to begin packing, ready for the trip home.
