• Fossils & Cathedral

    December 29, 2025 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    This morning we toured the Wellington Caves site, starting with an educational fossil dig 🧐, followed by a tour of the resonant Cathedral Cave.

    The fossil discovery lab was an interesting experience as we indulged our inner palaeontologist while nodding thoughtfully at explanations we mostly translated as “this is very old and very important.” A bit like Indiana Jones, minus the boulders, snakes and personal heroics 😆

    The Cathedral Cave was a pleasantly cool respite, complete with some great acoustic properties. Josh stepped up to lead a gutsy rendition of Advance Australia Fair to demonstrate the finer resonance, before we literally ‘felt’ the sound as the tour group collectively beat their chests in the Thunder Cave.

    This afternoon, Anth and the boys played a round at the adjacent golf course. For $55 all up including green fees, club hire and a golf cart (between the four of them) they have declared Wellington Caves the best place ever - on this trip, so far. Or maybe it was because Ryan (almost) landed a hole in one!
