- ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
At the time this account was written, the caves were known as the Fish River Caves, and sometimes the Binda Caves. The name was confusing, as the caves were not actually on the Fish River, and in 1884 the name was changed to Jenolan Caves. In the 1880s, Jenolan Caves began to emerge as a genuine tourist destination. As more caves within the system were discovered and opened up, development began within the caves, including the construction of pathways, and measures were introduced to ensure the protection of formations. - Scope and ContentThis guide provides a detailed description, not only of the caves themselves, but also of the means by which visitors might enjoy them by providing advice on travel to the caves, accommodation available for visitors and equipment required to explore them. In addition, Rawson includes some sketches of geological features in the caves.
