Hi Folks,

Thought I'd test the new camera at King Soloman Caves near Deloraine in Tasmania.. Took over 120 photos with and without flash (mostly on auto) with pleasing results .. here are just a selection reduced to less than 16% of the original size.. The last one is a shot of the road on the way home...

Wow nice pics dazz.
The road + scenery looks lovely.

Makes the drive home even more pleasant.

Nice pics Dazz.
Further evidence that I must plan a visit to Tassie.

Great pics and when the caves formed they created the steps.

Some forward planning eh.

And don't forget everybody...

Mites go up, tights come down

 tights come down

It's the only thing I can still remember from Geology.

Bump.. ElleB liked the cave photo I used as a desktop so I said I'd fix the link to the photos in this thread and bump it .. These caves are only 40 minutes drive from where we live

great pics dazz.    and its all formed from drops of water over hundreds of years.    down Rusty's way are some cave very similar to those called the buchan caves. 

[Dazzler]

Oh I hadn't heard of those ..

[2i30s]

Oh I hadn't heard of those ..

do a google search dazz,its pronounced the same as the F word,but with a B.   

[Dazzler]

Yeah, I just had a look they do look similar ..

We also have Marakoopa Caves which are close to the ones in these photos and in the south we have Hastings Caves which are even larger

Down my way???   
Steve, you do realise they are something like 280 kilometres from my place?... 

Been to Hastings Caves a few times, Daz....and while they are pretty amazing, I think Buchan Caves are even better.....

Oh, and thanks Daz & Steve for fixing things so I could post...

Nothing against you personally Nutz - the section had been offlined to almost everyone. Thinking about it, there was no real need to have done that

I've been to the Jenolan Caves west of Sydney. Pretty spectacular.
But the real surprise is at Wellington in NSW, just south east of Dubbo.
There's just a pretty unobtrusive sign. I went in there one day when I was travelling for work and ahead of schedule.
It's like an almost flat plain and virtually only a few hundred meters off the highway.
Underground they open up into an awesome complex - not Jenolan Caves standard but all the more spectacular for the blandness of the surrounding countryside.

[meehalych]

That is magnificent, Daz.
Was an admission free into that cave?

[Dazzler]

Hi Micha glad you liked it.. Trish said it couldn't have been much or we wouldn't have been allowed in 

I think maybe A$12 maximum each including a guide to explain and show us around
