Great easy hike to large rock overhang. Not really a cave but still cool.

Very easy to access from Perl Beach

The caves are located via the fire trail and a 2km walk up a incline. They are fairly accessible and provide a great cooling, restful location that overlooks the water and bushland. In times of rain, you could gather freshwater from there. A worthy visit and part of history.

Beautiful and reasonably easily accessible. Go just after rain to see some amazing waterfalls.

The caves are only accessible via foot from the fire trail. To visit the caves, you need to walk approximately 2 kms along the trail from Crystal Avenue. The walk to the caves is moderate.
