Olsen’s Capricorn Caverns
Olsen's Capricorn Caverns are a unique system of above ground caves located 20 kilometres north of Rockhampton. They are Australia's largest privately owned caves and have long been recognised as one of Central Queensland's leading attractions with visitors coming from around Australian and overseas.
An easy walking one hour tour (Cathedral Tour) strolls through large well-lit chambers. Wheelchair access is available. A highlight of this tour is the Cathedral Cavern with its high domed ceiling and magnificent natural acoustics. For the more outgoing visitor, a three hour adventure tour (Wild Caving) explores the internal framework of the cave and provides a chance to squeeze through 30cm holes, shimney up shafts and scale the karst to admire the spectacular views.
The caves are home to five species of little insectivorous bats and are surrounded by remnant dry rainforest.
