I visited Naracoorte in 2002. The stalagmites and stalagtites were so spectacular and delicate. I enjoyed learning about prehistoric animals such as the Short Faced Leaf Eating kangaroo!

last Sep&Oct i've been to the two site.when in riversleigh my first impression is burren ground extend here,why on earth fossiles could be excavated here.it looks nothing to be discovered on the ground.only one tour takes us there in dry season and the tour is popular,so you got to reservation it.and in the rainy season very little rain occurs flood of the river in 100 front of the site.

naracoote site is,if not heritage resistered,not popular but no one visit there exept scholars.info center wall is decorated with world heritage mark.listing is exaggerated so much.here we can see all the time but cathedral cave is exhibited to on weekend.atention please.
