This Wet Cave has been open for self-guided walks since 1994.
The entrance is a large collapsed window which allows natural light in, so you will find tree ferns near this entrance.
Animals such as birds and possums inhabit the cave, as do bats during the winter months.
Inside there are several dome chambers with enormous limestone formations. The roof has well-developed avens (cylindrical holes are formed when water dissolves the limestone).
