Overview

Yarrangobilly’s karst landscapes were created from a belt of limestone laid down about 440 million years ago. Almost all cave formations can be seen here, from stalactites and stalagmites, hollow straws and delicate helictites, to shawls, cave coral, and massive flowstones. Karst environments are nature’s time capsules, preserving evidence of climate change, floods, droughts, fires, animal and human activity.

What to bring: Sturdy shoes, suitable clothing.

Please note:
The cave entrance is inside Glory Arch. Access is via a 500m gravel track starting at Glory Cave car park. The self-guided tour exits a few metres from the car park.
It’s a good idea to bring a jacket – the average temperature in this cave is 10˚C and it's usually damp.

Getting there: South Glory Cave is in the Yarrangobilly area of Kosciuszko National Park, between Tumut and Cooma.

Parking: Parking is available at Glory Cave car park, 100m from the visitor centre. From here, it’s a 500m walk to the cave entrance.

SELF GUIDED TOUR Take a leisurely self-guided tour through the lofty chambers of South Glory Cave, and absorb the wonders of the largest cave in the Yarrangobilly area of Kosciuszko National Park. South Glory Cave never fails to astonish. Europeans first explored this underworld in 1834. Like them, you’ll be awestruck by the immense size of its limestone chambers, decorations and rock piles. The cave is accessed along a 500m gravel track, taking you from Glory Cave car park to Glory Arch, with its impressive opening to the sky. This self-guided experience means you can explore the cave at your own pace, with information signs throughout and sensor lights that switch on as you approach. You’ll see the white formations of the Ice Age Chamber, others known as the ‘Lamb’s Fleece’ and ‘Judge’s Wig’, and even a daylight hole 55m above you. The tour takes 45 mins. Grading: Medium. Suitable for all ages. Moderate fitness required. The path is 470m long, with 206 steps and several ramps.
