  • Jenolan Karst Conservation Reserve Draft Plan of Management 2013
    Draft Plan of Management Jenolan Karst Conservation Reserve BLANK Draft Plan of Management Jenolan Karst Conservation Reserve NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service October 2013 BLANK Acknowledgments This plan of management was prepared by staff of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), part of the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH), Department of Premier and Cabinet. NPWS acknowledges that the Jenolan Karst Conservation Reserve is in the traditional country of the Gundungurra and Wiradjuri Aboriginal people and within the area of the Pejar Local Aboriginal Land Council. A preliminary draft plan of management for the reserve was prepared by Manidis Roberts Consultants on behalf of the Jenolan Caves Reserve Trust (the Trust) in 2004. The preliminary draft was expanded and updated by the Trust in collaboration with the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) and a draft plan of management was exhibited for public comment in 2005/2006. Following public exhibition DEC formally considered public comments on the draft plan. OEH, established in 2011, now performs many of the statutory roles of the former DEC. Subsequently a range of documents have been produced of particular relevance to management of the reserve including the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area Strategic Plan (Department of Environment & Climate Change 2009a), the Jenolan Caves Reserve Trust Heritage Asset Management Strategy (Godden Mackay Logan 2007), the Jenolan Karst Conservation Reserve Fire Management Strategy (Department of Environment & Climate Change 2009b), the Jenolan Karst Conservation Reserve Draft Conservation Management Plan (Urbis 2010) and The Vertebrate Fauna of the Jenolan Karst Conservation Area (OEH 2012a). A range of guidelines and policies have also been prepared by the OEH Karst and Geodiversity Unit which was established in 2006 to assist karst management.

  • Geology and Geomorphology of Jenolan Caves and the Surrounding Region
    Geology and Geomorphology of Jenolan Caves and the Surrounding Region DAVID F. BRANAGAN1, JOHN PICKETT2 AND IAN G. PERCIVAL3 1Honorary Associate, School of Geosciences, University of Sydney, NSW 2006 ([email protected]); 2Honorary Associate, Geological Survey of NSW, WB Clarke Geoscience Centre, Londonderry NSW 2753 ([email protected]); 3Geological Survey of NSW, WB Clarke Geoscience Centre, Londonderry NSW 2753 ([email protected]) Published on 30 May 2014 at http://escholarship.library.usyd.edu.au/journals/index.php/LIN Branagan, D.F., Pickett, J.W. and Percival, I.G. (2014). Geology and Geomorphology of Jenolan Caves and the Surrounding Region. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 136, 99-130. Detailed mapping by university students and staff since the 1980s has significantly elucidated previously poorly known stratigraphic and structural relationships in the Jenolan Caves region. Apart from andesite of ?Ordovician age, rocks west of the caves probably correlate with the lower Silurian Campbells Group. That succession is faulted against the Silurian (mid Wenlockian) Jenolan Caves Limestone, in which caves developed during several episodes from the late Palaeozoic. Immediately east of Jenolan Caves, siliciclastic sedimentary and volcaniclastic rocks with interbedded silicic lavas constitute the newly defined Inspiration Point Formation, correlated with the upper Silurian to Lower Devonian Mount Fairy Group. Several prominent marker units are recognised, including limestone previously correlated with the main Jenolan limestone belt. Extensive strike-slip and thrust faulting disrupts the sequence, but in general the entire Silurian succession youngs to the east, so that beds apparently steeply-dipping westerly are actually overturned.

  • Blue Mountains & Jenolan Caves
    Blue Mountains & Jenolan Caves The Classic Experience Time & Duration: 7:30 AM Start Time, 13 Hour Tour Meeting Point: The Cambridge Hotel, 212 Riley Street, Surry Hills Price: $298 per person After a quick stop to pick up our freshly baked morning pastries, we head west through the sprawling Sydney Metropolitan and Blue Mountains areas, where you guide will explain a little about the history and romance of areas we are visiting today. We arrive at the Iconic Three Sisters, at Echo Point, the Blue Mountains most spectacular landmark, experienced by millions of people each year. The Three Sisters is essentially an unusual rock formation representing three sisters who according to Aboriginal legend were turned to stone. The character of the Three Sisters changes throughout the day and throughout the seasons as the sunlight brings out the magnificent colours. Each of the Three Sisters stand at 922, 918 & 906 metres tall, respectively. That’s over 3000 feet above sea level! These limestone and sandstone cliffs surround the Megalong Valley – one of the world’s longest, deepest and most gorgeous natural wonders. After a short stroll around the lookouts to admire the view, we glide between cliff tops and gaze at the rainforest canopy through the glass floor of the Scenic Skyway. Suspended 270 metres above ancient ravines, the Skyway provides a unique thrill as breathtaking views are revealed beneath your feet through the electro-glass cabin floor. For the less adventurous, seating and solid flooring is also available! With 360° views, this journey provides the best views of Katoomba Falls, the Three Sisters, and Jamison Valley from up high, stretching out to the horizon.
