	Bungonia State Conservation Area - Bushwalking NSW
		Bungonia is one of the oldest public recreation reserves in the world, with its limestone caves first being protected back in 1872.
		It is bounded to the north by Bungonia Creek, and to the east by the Shoalhaven River.
		Bungonia is a very popular area for caving because of its proximity to Sydney, and the fact that many of the caves are able to be visited without obtaining special permits.

	speleogenesis.net \| Archive \| R. Armstrong L. Osborne: Halls and Narrows: Network caves in dipping limestone, (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Just as the cross-sectional shape of cave passages can differ with the dip of the limestone (Osborne, 1999a), the gross geometry of network caves, reflected in their plans and cross-sections, is influenced by the angle of dip of the limestone.
		Caves with this structure are common in the Permian limestones of the New England Fold Belt of New South Wales (a sub-division of the Tasman Fold Belt).
		The entrances of hall and narrows caves appear to have little genetic relationship with the rest of the cave, and generally appear to have formed after most, or all, of the cave was excavated.

	Bungonia Caves
		Bungonia Caves are sited within the Bungonia State Recreation Area (SRA) adjoining the Morton National Park, about 35km east of the city of Goulburn and about 125km south-west of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
		The caves are formed in limestone that forms the southern portion of the 'Sydney basin', a broad expanse of New South Wales between this region and the city of Newcastle in the north, and west to Lithgow.
		Drum Cave is closed to protect a breeding colony of the Large Bent-wing Bat (formerly known as the Common Bent-wing Bat), listed as Vulnerable under the Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995) in New South Wales.

	Bungonia National Park
		Bungonia State Conservation Area covers a strip of the Southern Tablelands from the spectacular limestone country east of Marulan, southwards along the escarpment to the west of the Shoalhaven River.
		Bungonia is on the edge of the geological Sydney Basin and the landforms are the result of erosion of the overlaying sandstone by the Shoalhaven River, leaving mountains and ridges of shale and limestone, caves, and exposing fossils.
		Bungonia is one of NSW's oldest conservation reserves; sections of it were first protected as a water reserve as early as 1872.

	THE UNSEEN HAZARDS OF CAVE PHOTOGRAPHY
		Although not a significant problem in the majority of caves around the world, those containing concentrations of foul air may become death traps for cavers not familiar with the signs and symptoms of the gases involved.
		The bats respiration and micro-organisms in the guano were concluded to be the major sources of CO and were responsible for the highest recordings in the cave, (measured in the entrance series chamber).
		This cave is known to regularly contain foul air (which has a short transition distance between good air and hazardous foul air), the relative depth from the surface, (of the interface), varies considerably with climatic change and correlates with highs and lows in atmospheric pressure.

	Jenolan Wild Caves
		Jenolan Caves is the almost the closest caving area to Sydney, and yet it is almost the best the state has to offer (it is just further away than Bungonia, and not quite as good as the legendary Yarrangobilly).
		The rest of this cave, on the other hand, is full of the most horrifying mud that you will ever encounter.
		Most of the wild caves at Jenolan tend to be of a far different nature to the beautiful, expansive tourist caves.

		Cathedral Cave: This is the main tourist cave at Wellington and is famous for its very large stalagmite (about 15 m high), believed to be one of the largest in the world and has been used as a pulpit.
		Wellington Caves became of international scientific importance in the 1830's following the discovery of bones that were identified as fossils of extinct marsupials by Sir Richard Owen, one of the leading anatomists in England.
		The caves are located 45 km west of Mittagong and 25 km north of Taralga in the Southern Highlands region of New South Wales.

	Bungonia
		It sets some new standards in terms of the quality of the text, photographs and figures, and the authors are to be congratulated on producing a book that is a delight both to read and to look at.

	Lost in Bungonia, 24-25 May 1997
		So there we were, driving down the road to the caves, when in the distance the figure of Keir appears, on foot and going the wrong direction.
		Unfortunately, Drum Cave was full of Christians, and so the "vertical" group had settled on Argyle Hole instead.
		Unfortunately, they didn't get lost, and after lunch, the party did Mass Cave and Chalk Cave (in the latter of which Matthew had to be convinced not to go climbing down a big hole).

		Cave development involves mixing zones between fresh and sea water in the coastal zone, and between vadose and phreatic waters perched on the volcanic rocks beneath the plateau.
		Cave locations and form are controlled by the rock structure (especially jointing) the location of the volcanic contact, and the combination of uplift with present and past sea levels - which controls the location of the mixing zone.
		Although the cave is mainly vadose, there is evidence of enlargement by corrosion and by collapse (in the uppermost level), and the sequence of cave formation has been interrupted by at least one phase of cave fill by clay and gravels.

	UNSW Bushwalking & Mountaineering Club Newsletter March 2000
		While the caves in Bungonia lack the a lot of the more beautiful formations, they provide an ideal introduction to the joys of squeezing through small holes in the ground.
		Bungonia creek cuts a sheer gorge through the limestone, and certain sections of it have cliffs several hundred metres high on either side.
		Caves at Bungonia and Orange were less than seriously considered.

		This was probably one of the best moments of my caving life up till then as I had always hoped to be the first one into a beautiful new section of cave or new extension of a cave.
		We also held a "Keep Bungonia Gorge-ous" weekend on 19th-20th February 1972, and this helped to put across the message that Bungonia was worth preserving.
		At cave areas such as Bungonia, Wombeyan, Timor, Cliefden, Jenolan, Yarrangobilly, Walli, and Chillagoe, I have helped with documentation, photography, surveying, tagging and photo tagging, and have even located a few new caves along the way.

	Christopher's Climb
		At age 6 Went caving at Bungonia Caves and experienced white water rafting.
		The trip is a huge success and Christopher proves himself beyond question to his guide and an attempt to climb Mt Cook (3754m) is immediately planned for latter in the year.
		On 24th and 25th August Christopher and his father walk from Katoomba to Jenolan Caves and back on the Six Foot Track completing 84 kilometres in 35 hours with one night camp.
