Chillagoe Cave Tour
National Park Ranger guided.  The fossilized remains of the ancient coral reefs with hidden limestone labyrinths give a portal to a lost world. Millions of years in the making, the limestone formations are nothing short of spectacular.

Chillagoe Smelters
Delve into the history of the copper smelters.  Visit the remains of the once mighty smelters to ponder what it was like working there

Board the custom built 4WD vehicle and travel through wetlands and agriculturally rich and fertile tablelands, before crossing over the Great Divide and into the Western watershed.  Take a step back in time as you travel through historical towns such as Dimbulah.  Rolling hills rich in minerals eventually give way to towering limestone karsts scattered around Chillagoe Township. 

• Aussie style morning tea at Dimbulah.
• Copper smelters dominate the western horizon at Chillagoe. 
• Wonderful lunch at a genuine historical Australian Outback Pub. 
• Spectacular guided Chillagoe Cave tour.  See the fossilized remains of the ancient coral reefs some 400-420 million years old and the hidden limestone labyrinths. 
• Visit Aboriginal Rock Art and Balancing Rock. 
• If time permits visit a unique gift shop. 
• Tropical fruit tasting platter for afternoon tea. 
• Visit Granite Gorge and hand feed wallabies.
