The caves are renowned for their karst qualities, namely the formation that has been eroded by water action that has developed from a sinkhole to become a blind valley.

The most popular feature of the Abercrombie Caves is The Archway – the largest natural arch in the southern hemisphere.

The cave was once used by the notorious Ribbon Gang, made up of escaped convicts and led by young English convict-servant Ralph Entwistle.

The cave's remote location and narrow passages meant it was an ideal place for the gang to hide out.

Inside his cave, visitors can also visit King Solomon’s Temple chamber, crossing a suspension bridge to reach it.

Vandalism occurred in the early days when many pieces of white marble were carted away by the visitors as souvenirs and the miners damaged many of the formations by firing rifles at them.
