Blanche Cave is the first cave which was discovered at Naracoorte in 1845. The tour into this cave is called Bat Tour, as a visit includes a large number of Bent-wing bats (Miniopterous bassanii). However, the number of bats you will see depends on the time of year.

Blanche Cave is close to the surface and there are many karst windows letting in light. The cave has long been used for social gatherings as well as sight seeing. Nowadays, there is a large podium for addressing an audience. Text by Tony Oldham (2002). With kind permission. |
