Enjoy your experience! ----- Mammoth Cave is the most easily accessed of all the show caves in the region, with the first chamber accessible by wheelchair. It is a self-guided cave, where you explore on your own while listening to an informative 'audio tour' through the MP3 player and headset provided. You are free to wander at your own pace along the boardwalks and platforms, through the majestic chambers of the cave. The site of one of Australia's most important paleontological digs in the early 1900s, the cave still contains the fossilized jawbone of a long-extinct giant marsupial species, embedded within the limestone wall 50,000 years after the animal roamed the forests above. Entering the cave through bushland via a gently sloping boardwalk, you'll realise just how much there is to see here. Over 10,000 fossils had at one time accumulated inside the cave; upon excavating many of these were found to be remains of Australian Megafauna (giant animals) that became extinct around 46,000 years ago. A visit to Mammoth Cave finishes with a winding walk through the beautiful marri forest, with whistling birds and stunning flora displays. Mammoth Cave is much more than a cave it is a complete nature experience.
