One of the spectacular formations inside the Figtree Cave at Wombeyan Caves Karst Conservation Reserve.

Although it's not as adventurous as the various nearby wild cave systems such as those at Tuglow and Bungonia, it's a top spot for camping, wildlife watching and for learning about the geology and history of these remote and magnificent caves.

The caves had been a special place to the local Gundungurra people for hundreds of generations, but there is little evidence they used the caves themselves for shelter.

Europeans first discovered Wombeyan Caves in 1828 when explorer John Oxley and pioneering grazier John Macarthur explored the areas between Berrima and Oberon looking for grazing land. They stumbled upon the massive entrance to the Figtree Cave, the Victoria Arch, at the end of a cleared box canyon.

In 1868 the area was set aside by the colonial NSW government as a reserve and was staffed by a caretaker, Mr Charles Chalker. Chalker explored the area extensively and discovered many of the dozens of caves in the Wombeyan system.

The area became very popular with tourists and geologists alike, and in 1900 a road was opened, linking Wombeyan Caves to Mittagong in the east. An account of this newly-pushed-through road is found in one of my favourite books, "Landlopers" by John Le Gay Brereton, published in 1899.

I have read newspaper letters to the editor from the 1910s where the writers bitterly whinge about the state of the Wombeyan Caves Road between the Caves and Mittagong. Over 100 years later, people are still whingeing about it haha. I call it The Road Of Doom and it's a picturesque drive which is even a little adventurous at times.

The Wombeyan Caves themselves were popular throughout the first half of the 20th Century and the Figtree Cave in the photo was opened to the public as a guided show cave in 1968 and it's been inspiring visitors ever since.

"Our stay in a Tiny Home on Lea and her family’s property was lovely. The place was small but had everything we needed, and had the most glorious views. Waking up to sheep grazing and birds chirping was entirely restorative. The location gave us ready access to the local areas of Yass and Murrumbateman, with plenty to do (and eat and drink!) Lea was friendly, communicative and hospitable and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. "

"Narelle was an absolutely wonderful host she made us feel very welcomed during our stay. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, and the farm setting was beautiful. We loved seeing all the animals, they added such a special touch to the experience. Narelle’s place is the perfect farm stay for a relaxing weekend getaway, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly.Thank you again Narelle!"

Willows Motel Goulburn

10/10 Excellent

"Room was lovely and clean and very comfortable. Excellent value "

Bundanoon Hotel

8/10 Good

"We took room with an ensuite. While they're very small, it does the job. There is no a/C which we knew about, but thankfully it was a cool night or it'd be very hot. Winter has heating. Now, if you can sleep through trains, yep more than one at night, then definitely stay here. It's a great old style Scottish themed pub, yes it's creaky and like a rabbit warren finding rooms (not that hard, good signage) and the food was very good. Great price and worth the visit."

Abode Murrumbateman

4/10 Poor

"Great because it’s pet friendly and quiet.. but some issues that were frustrating: couldn’t connect to wifi had to drive into town daily to get connection for work, shower had zero pressure when running hot water (barely dribbled out) and drains in bathroom let out a weird smell when water was running. "

Links House

10/10 Excellent

"This was a last minute booking and the staff were excellent, from check-in to dinning to check-out. It’s a very cute place, worthy of many photos. The food at the restaurant was great, it was hard to decide what to eat, but I had the prawn pasta. Parking was easy at the back of the property, however if you’re not comfortable walking under the light of the moon, get dropped off at the front for check in. "

Peppers Craigieburn

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean however there was a lack of attention to detail in other areas. Eg we were given the wrong room and had to explain to reception the room we had booked wasn’t the one allocated, we didn’t get our water or biscuits replaced after housekeeping had been through and we found a used face washer in the shower. Small things but for the price we paid we expected more."
