The Imperial Cave (Jenolan Caves)
The Imperial Cave is one of the many galleries of The Jenolan Caves. It just happened Queen Victoria was being crowned Empress of India at the time this gallery was being explored. These limestone caves are located west of Katoomba (74 kilometres) by road) and dating back to 340 million years ago, making it the oldest known cave system in the world. The caves had been known for thousands of years to the local indigenous people, the Gundungurra and Wiradjuri peoples, before the Europeans Charles and James Whalan claimed their discovery in the 1840s.
Re: The Imperial Cave (Jenolan Caves)
I've been there many times over the years, although it's probably been well over 40 years since my last trek there.
The caves are well illuminated for viewing, and therefore also photography, and well worth a visit if one is even in the area. g.

Re: The Imperial Cave (Jenolan Caves)
Thank you Gary. I believe the recent storms and flooding have caused damage to the lake and other parts. They are also working on the roads so I believe they may be closed to visitors nest year till the roads are improved and the lake fixed. It was a wonderful and humbling experience.
