So we were greeted at the entrance to Donna Cave by Luke, the Park Ranger. Having already been exposed to a few tour guide styles I prejudged Luke and assumed the tour was going to be technical and boring. Turns out Luke is a champ and although he bought out a few of the textbook tour guides jokes I laughed at all of them! He had a good info/humour/quiet ratio!
As you walk down into the cave, Luke explained why it's called Donna cave...any guesses by the photo below?
He also told us that there are three animals that live in limestone caves, cockroaches which are eaten by huntsmen spiders which are eaten by bats which are eaten by pythons. Great all my most feared! lol
We ended up only seeing a few bats and they were actually ridiculously cute :)
So I'll let the pictures do the talking now..
The famous 'fairy grotto' apparently the most photographed section of any of the caves in Chillagoe!
Let there be light!
No huntsmen spider sightings, but a cute web on the way out!
