• Victoria Fossil Cave
  The most famous of the caves, there are over 3,000 metres of collapse dome chambers connected by low passages and flatteners. There are important vertebrate fossil deposits still being uncovered and researched, especially in the Fossil Chamber. Other regions in the cave complex include the Ossuaries, White Chamber, Butch and Lake Chamber and Starburst Chamber. The toured section is through mainly the collapse chambers with the low connecting passages artificially enlarged, as well as artificial entrances having been excavated for ease of visitor access. A visit to the fossil chamber also form part of the tour. The cave has excellent extensive speleothem decoration throughout the cave. Some images can be viewed here...
  
  Other caves of significance include Alexandra, Fox, Blackberry, Cathedral Caves, all containing vertebrate fossil material to be investigated.
   
• Bat Cave
  The maternity site for Bent-winged Bats (Miniopterus schreibersii) population of south-east South Australia and south-west Victoria. Also contains other invertebrate fauna that includes a number of endemic species. A collapse window (8 metres x 12 metres) drops 8 metres to a rockpile in the entrance chamber. The cave develops for over 300 metres to the south-east and includes the main bat chamber (60 metres x 25 metres and 12 metres high) and contains extensive guano deposits that were mined in the 19th century.
  
  Access is restricted to management personnel only for maintenance of bat viewing infrastructure and to approved researchers.  The bats can be viewed by remote controlled cameras placed at various points in the cave from the Bat Cave Teleview Centre. More information here...

• Blanche Cave
  • Discovered in 1845, the cave has a long history as a show cave. Predominantly a line of large collapse passages and chambers with several roof windows (total length 250 metres). It is a good example of collapse beneath a calcrete caprock. The decoration, which had dried and degraded, is rejuvenating as water percolation resumed after the removal of the pine trees over the top of the cave in the late 1980’s. There are guided tours. More information here...
