溶洞是可溶性岩石中因喀斯特作用所形成的地下空间，又称喀斯特地貌。其实在悉尼一带，也有多个好看又神秘的岩洞，这里就为大家介绍~

1、洞穴海滩

地址：Caves Beach

Lake Macquarie 2281

洞穴海滩（Caves Beach)就在新州东部海岸，距离悉尼约130公里车程，距离新州第二大城市纽卡斯尔（Newcastle）约25公里车程。到纽卡斯尔旅游的朋友，不妨也到洞穴海滩游玩吧，一探美丽的岩洞！

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 最受欢迎的海滩之一便是海滩洞穴了，一到退潮的时候，许多大小不同的天然洞穴便会露出海面，这时便可以走进去一探究竟。

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 ​

这个岩洞由多个喀斯特地貌的山洞组成，这里可以看到非常罕见的稀有岩层。如想要自助洞穴探险，无花果树山洞（Figtree Cave）被认为是数一数二的好去处，里面有巨大的洞穴大厅，还有一条流动的谷间溪流。

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

这幅精美的手印画作具有 500 至 1600 年的历史，由澳大利亚原住民所绘制。除了红手洞，在这里你还可以找到其它有意思的原住民模板艺术！
