- Make sure you watch till the end if you want to see THE MOST Australian thing ever! We had to give way to boxing kangaroos!
We left the beautiful Snowy Mountains and headed north for some more adventure and camping. Wombeyan Caves has been on Moniques bucket list for the longest time and we finally got there!
Unfortunately due to the fires and current pandemic, the Limestone Gorge walk and the guided cave tours were closed (but that just means we will have to go back).
We show you around the campground and we explore the self guided Fig Tree Cave.
This campground is so well equipped and is home to HUNDREDS of kangaroos. Its well worth a visit and would be a fantastic destination for families.

As always, please feel welcome to ask any questions, let us know what you think. Have you been to Wombeyan caves?
great video, thanks. May i ask - was it an easy "awd" route? Any Subaru's there? Or do you need a "proper" 4wd?
@@shanechenery7261 we came from Goulburn and the road was a normal paved road the whole way in. Any car could get here. I think there is another way in but when we went that was was closed because the road was damaged.
@@Vinceventuring - great, thanks very much for the info.
@@shanechenery7261 you’re welcome, always happy to share ❤️
What a beautiful place thanks for showing us
Thank you for watching, it’s certainly one of those places that has a special magic to it
Absolutely stunning, thank you kindly for this lovely video! Love my NSW !
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words ❤️❤️
Great video of the area. Used to venture down there as a kid often. You are very lucky to see the water running through the Fig Tree Cave as it was always a rare event.
Thanks so much. I can though we couldn’t do the hike we had planned we still had a wonderful time at Wombeyan. It’s a really stunning area.
Great video guys, the roos at the end were awesome.
Thank you for watching. Still can’t believe we got those Roos on camera 😂 the things you see when you are travelling around huh!
Those kangaroos follow you everywhere you go. I think they like you, or they like your treats. Incidentally, love the periodic birdsongs. They really add atmosphere. Cheers guys 👍
Thanks so much Stephen. It’s amazing what you can see and do in your own backyard. The wildlife that we are lucky enough to see has been incredible ❤️
Nice one! That walk through cave looked amazing and just a casually biff between a couple of the natives 🦘🦘!! 😁
I feel like in the dark light the camera didn’t do it justice but it was absolutely spectacular in the cave. The boxing kangaroos was so funny! We couldn’t believe we were giving way to kangaroos having a fight in the middle of the road! Australia🤣
Its been years since Kaz and I went to Wombeyan caves. Thanks for bringing me some memories. I need to get back there and the other cave are great too (from memory) so you guys need to get back there too. Cheers Steve
So much was shut when we were there but we are absolutely going to go back to hike limestone gorge and see some more caves when its all recovered from the fire and floods.
That cave is unreal! That's like a mansion compared to the caves we've been to. The boxing kangaroos are hilarious. I've seen a guy online literally boxing a kangaroo. I thought you all would box one 😆
I can’t wait to go through a few more caves there. So beautiful. We couldn’t not believe we were giving way to boxing kangaroos 😂 they were huge too, I don’t think we would have been game to get out of the car! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
I’m a cave nut so this is definitely one for the list. Thanks for showing me all the amazing spots in our amazing country
I’m so glad you liked it ❤️ we love caves too, there is just a certain magic about them! We can’t wait to go back
Awesome episode guys, great spot down there , shame so much is still closed though.
I will admit, I was pretty sad we couldn’t do limestone gorge. We have been wanting to do that hike for such a long time. We will just have to go back though. Definitely a place I would like to visit again ❤️
Love it guys I think this is your best video yet so well documented and I feel like you guys are really geting comfortable in front of the camera which I feel makes it even better. Well done
This is such amazing feedback Chris. Thank you so much. There is something daunting about talking to a camera to imaginary people haha. We are enjoying making these videos and learning as we go. So so glad you have been enjoying them too!
Great video guys
Thank you for watching 🥰
Hi guys, loved you video, I went here with a bushwalking group the year before the fires and the other walk to limestone gorge was awesome although because of prior drought water level was only low, not really swimming level but still beautiful. If you ever go back the gorge is worth the additional trip. At the opposite end theres whats left of the karst quarry and further on a small waterfall as well which is another option to check out. When the weather improves I hope to take the kids camping there. Cheers 👍
Thank you so much for watching 🥰we were devastated that all the walks were closed from the fires. Just means we have to go back now! It’s not a bad thing ❤️
You guys are on good terms ^ ^
I can feel happy watching ^ ^
The cave looks very interesting!
it was cold?
Thank you ❤️ we feel happy making the videos too! The cave was beautiful 😍. It was actually quite hot and humid but once you go into the cave it was lovely and cool.
Hope you do the Abercrombie caves but they are closed till June/july because of the recent flooding apparently the worst in 70 years. :(
I think we missed the flooding by about 2 weeks. I actually think this spot would be amazing in winter, nice crackling fires. The facilities make it so easy and comfy. I hope when it opens up that all the walks and caves are open too. I feel like theres so much we didn't get to explore.
It's a pity that NSWParks does not mention wheelchair access on this site or other caving sites. It took me 2 hours of searching to find out there is very little access for the disabled. It is unfortunate that it is no use for me to travel 2-3 hours and $20-30 to look at 2 minutes of caves.
Gosh that is really slack of NSW NP. I really hope with some of the upgrades they have been doing in many areas there is more that is wheelchair accessible and make the information on it east to find for those that need it. If you are ever in the blue mountains the fairfax heritage walk is wheelchair accessible and comes out at a gorgeous lookout.
