Thats one nasty bit of road in the wet be careful

[LuckyCat]

The Jenolan Caves road from the gate down to the Caves then up the other side towards Edith is 40km/h and with good reason. It is narrow, treacherous and there is a very steep drop off the side. Some of the roadside posts don't look all that secure. The wild weather had caused the road to be strewn with debris, there was water everywhere, including some small waterfalls as we made our way into the valley.
A lot of cars didn't even get to the speed limit. The scenery was spectacular though.

We drove through the caves entrance and encountered a couple of tourist groups, who just gawked as 28 convertibles (including an MG) drove past....
