The caverns have spectacular views of stalactites of all colors. The walk through these caves is not easy.

There are a number of caves that can be explored here. The entrance provides starting points for all the tours. Many steps and low-hanging roof makes some areas difficult to navigate.
From their website: "Jenolan Caves in the World Heritage Blue Mountains are are the largest, most spectacular and most famous caves in Australia. Explore the world's oldest caves - one of the most outstanding cave systems in the world."
After our visit, I agree that these rival U.S. Carlsbad Caverns in beauty and variety of formations.
