Yarrangobilly Caves: South Glory Cave Self-Guided Tour

This tour is self-guided. 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 carpark. The self-guided tour exits a few metres from the carpark. 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 carpark, From here, it’s a 500m walk to the cave entrance.
