Overview
Yarrangobilly Caves are a limestone cave system deep in Kosciuszko National Park with formations dating back 1.5 million years. The area offers guided cave tours, self-guided exploration of South Glory Cave, natural thermal pools heated to 27°C, and panoramic Snowy Mountains lookouts — all without the crowds of more famous parks.

Before you go
Accommodation
Three lodges and a campground run by NSW National Parks. Book ahead — they fill quickly, especially in peak seasons.
Safety
Bushfire risk is high in summer. Roads are narrow and steep — keep to 30 km/h maximum.
Transport
Car is essential — no public transport reaches Yarrangobilly. The final 5 km is gravel and one-way in places; 2WD is fine but caravans cannot use it.
Weather
At 978 m elevation, summers reach 30°C and winters drop below zero with possible snow. Inside the caves it's a constant 10°C.
