Jenolan Caves, NSW - river walk
Jenolan Caves built Australia’s first hydro-electric system, finished in 1917. Now our hydro-electric plant provides up to 60% of cave power needs, reducing our ‘carbon footprint’.
In 1880, Jenolan was the first place in the world to use electric lights in caves! We still lead the world in cave lighting. Recently we installed a new energy-efficient lighting system in the Orient and Ribbon Caves and the extensive River Cave. (from Jenolan Caves)
