Buchan Caves Reserve

Highlights

Explore the magical world beneath the ground at Buchan Caves Reserve! These caves are like nature’s own artwork, filled with sparkling limestone formations that have been growing for thousands of years. It’s like stepping into a fairy tale!

Guided tours will take you through the caves, where you’ll see stalactites hanging from the ceiling and stalagmites growing from the floor. Have you ever wondered how they’re formed? It’s all thanks to rainwater and time—lots and lots of time! The Royal Cave even has special calcite pools that look like they belong in a royal palace.

Did you know? The Gunaikurnai people are the Traditional Owners of this land, and they’ve cared for it for generations. Their stories add a magical touch to your visit. Don’t forget to bring your torch and sense of wonder!

Adult Supervision Recommended

The caves can be slippery and dark, so it’s best to explore with an adult to stay safe.
