Yarrangobilly Caves: South Glory Cave Self-Guided Tour
About
This tour is self-guided. Yarrangobilly’s karst landscapes were created from a belt of limestone laid down about 440 million years ago.

Yarrangobilly Caves
SELF GUIDED TOUR
Take a leisurely self-guided tour through the lofty chambers of South Glory Cave, and absorb the wonders of the largest cave in the Yarrangobilly area of Kosciuszko National Park. South Glory Cave never fails to astonish. Europeans first explored this underworld in 1834. Like them, you’ll be awestruck by the immense size of its limestone chambers, decorations and rock piles.
The cave is accessed along a 500m gravel track, taking you from Glory Cave carpark to Glory Arch, with its impressive opening to the sky. This self-guided experience means you can explore the cave at your own pace, with information signs throughout and sensor lights that switch on as you approach. You’ll see the white formations of the Ice Age Chamber, others known as the ‘Lamb’s Fleece’ and ‘Judge’s Wig’, and even a daylight hole 55m above you. The tour takes 45 mins.
Grading: Medium. Suitable for all ages. Moderate fitness required. The path is 470m long, with 206 steps and several ramps.
