溶洞是可溶性岩石中因喀斯特作用所形成的地下空間，又稱喀斯特地貌。其實在悉尼一帶，也有多個好看又神秘的岩洞，這裡就為大家介紹~

1、洞穴海灘

地址：Caves Beach

Lake Macquarie 2281

洞穴海灘（Caves Beach)就在新州東部海岸，距離悉尼約130公里車程，距離新州第二大城市紐卡斯爾（Newcastle）約25公里車程。到紐卡斯爾旅遊的朋友，不妨也到洞穴海灘遊玩吧，一探美麗的岩洞！

The sea caves at Caves Beach are one of our favourite spots to visit. It's a cool experience exploring the caves but you have to time it right. You can only explore the caves at low tide. On a hot day, brings your swimmers. It's great to combine a swim with some cave exploration.

Lake Macquarie 最受歡迎的海灘之一便是海灘洞穴了，一到退潮的時候，許多大小不同的天然洞穴便會露出海面，這時便可以走進去一探究竟。

這裡的一系列石灰岩洞被評為「南半球最大、最美、最奇特的景觀」，其中最著名的兩個洞穴的要數Chifley Caves和Orient Caves。Chifley Caves奇幻神秘，深受孩子們的喜愛，這裡可以看到五彩繽紛的石灰岩。Orient Caves則保留了石灰岩最原始的魅力，帶給人與眾不同的感覺，洞里充盈著安靜祥和的氛圍。

Moon • Shadow A visit to the Yarrangobilly area will certainly have you feeling over the moon ?, just like @adam_klumper when he captured this amazing shot from a recent visit! The Yarrangobilly region in the northern part of the #kosciuszkonationalpark is full of great outdoor adventures, including hikes, spying these incredible rock formations and don』t miss the thermal pool where the temperature of the water is naturally heated at a toasty 27 degrees Celsius year-round. The Yarrangobilly region is are about a two hour drive from Wagga Wagga in the @snowymountainsnsw. To add to your day trip, be sure to stop off in the @visitsnowyvalleys region on your way there or back. #visitwagga Note: The caves in the Yarrangobilly area remain closed. General public opening hours for the Yarrangobilly area is 9am to 5pm – this image was shot after hours in conjunction with NSW National Parks. @nswnationalparks

The thing I loved most about #jellybeanpool was how peaceful it was. I was there early morning so of course nobody else was there. I decided to venture off the main trail where I came across to the other side where I obtained this photo. Further up there was even a small waterfall! I have plans to return during summer. ☀️ . . . #glenbrook #river #seensw #visitaustralia #seeaustralia #newsouthwales #bluemountains #adventuretime #hikingadventures #letshike #scenicphotography #naturephotography #bushwalking #australianoutdoors #austour #bushwalk

這幅精美的手印畫作具有 500 至 1600 年的歷史，由澳大利亞原住民所繪製。除了紅手洞，在這裡你還可以找到其它有意思的原住民模板藝術！
