Information

Not all of the caves on the Cooleman Plain at Blue Waterholes are open to the public. If you want to enter any other cave, beyond a few meters of the entrance, you MUST have a permit from the NPWS. Some of the caves at Blue Waterholes have features which must not be disturbed (like bat roosts, or delicate formations, or ancient bone deposits) and some are dangerously unstable.

You will be glad to know however that most of the more interesting and accessible caves are open to the public.

All the caves at Blue Waterholes should have a small metal tag nailed to the rock near the cave entrance. This will have on it a 3-digit code that is the cave's number. All the cave numbers on the Cooleman Plains start with CP. This can obviously be useful to help you work out if you have found the right entrance or not.
