Cave Stream tracks and Cave walk
- Location
- The reserve is on State Highway 73 between the Broken River road bridge and Craigieburn Forest Park entrance.
- Description
Two short tracks lead from the reserve car park to the cave entrances. The track to the upstream entrance goes north, through a diverse karst (limestone) landscape of solution holes, rillenkarren (water-grooved rocks) and sculptured rock formations.
The other track leads to the edge of a terrace overlooking the outflow entrance of the cave. It drops down the face of the terrace to the junction of Cave Stream and Broken River.
Please observe the warning signs about entering the cave – it has claimed lives. You must be properly equipped if you plan to walk through the cave.
The limestone formations nearby were the setting for the filming of “Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe”.
