Great Adventures Delve into the Jurassic world by discovering the wonders of one of the largest man made caverns in Australia. Excavated by Mount Morgan Miners in the late 1800's, the fire clay caverns supplied fire bricks for the mine. The roof of the caves reveal a number of dinosaur footprints, discovered in the early 1950's and authenticated in the mid 1950's. The caverns are also home for up to seven species of bats, including the bent wing bats. A truly unique experience where heritage meets paleontology. All Aboard!!!
