There's a Reason They Called it the “Plughole Tour” (Sydney – Day 4)

We headed inland today into the Blue Mountains where we had booked for an exploration of the Jenolan Caves. Initially we had been worried about how we would fare during the abseil into the cave entrance:


In hindsight, what we should have been worried about what turned out to be a claustrophobic, technical descent into the heart of the mountain.

As we descended deeper we had to work our way through the appropriately named “keyhole”, “letter slot”, and the “S-bend”, the last of which was roughly equivalent to crawling through a 10-ft long coffin lengthwise!

A quick detour on the way home to see the famous “Three Sisters” rock formation was pedestrian by comparison.
