Naracoorte Caves National park. The only World Heritage listed site in South Australia, this 600ha area of limestone ranges is 10km south of Naracoorte. Granted World heritage status in 1994 for its fossil mammmal deposits. For more than a century the caves have been famous for their brillant underground limestone formations
We chose to do the tour of the "Bat cave". Through infrared technology view the rare and secretive
"Bentwing Bat" colony. It was great watching the bats through TV's cameras set up in the cave. These bats are only about 1" in size
