You step off the gravel track into a cool hush: the cave holds a constant 15°C, and the air feels like someone has closed a book on the outside world. A National Parks guide leads the group down a staircut entry where light thins and the first waxy formations catch your torch—stalactites hanging like frozen icicles, colours running in bands along limestone walls.
