Housing several of nature’s greatest wonders, Hastings Caves State Reserve gives you the chance to explore the majestic Newdegate Cave, enjoy a stroll amidst the reserve’s lush forests and relax in the inviting waters of thermal spring pools.
Journey into Newdegate Cave with an experienced tour guide who will take you on a 45-minute tour of its labyrinthian structures. Formed tens of millions of years ago, the majestic subterranean cave is filled with spectral stalagmites, stalactites and columns, all created by the steady dripping and calcification of water.
