Going Underground in Chillagoe (Tue)

There's not a whole lot to Chillagoe...two Pubs, a General Store and a Roadhouse...and it's caves. 

Following a lazy start to the morning we had a look at the ruins of the Chillagoe Smelter on our way out to our first cave...the Trezmin Cave. Like all of the caves in the area, this is a dry cave but it has some quite spectacular features. 

The day was warming up by the time we returned to the surface so we made a quick visit to Balancing Rock before heading back into town to find some lunch. 

After lunch it was off to the Royal Arch Cave...this cave was quite different with large caverns that were open to the sky. It was rather hot by the time we came out so headed back into town, stopping off at an old marble pit along the way. 

Dinner tonight was the pub across the road again...$12 T-bone or Barra night so it was quite busy.
