★★★★☆

The Chillagoe-Mungana National Park's main attraction are the limestone rock formations and caves. Standing high above the surrounding plain, the limestone rocks have been weathered into fantastic shapes, some of which are razor sharp. Two of the caves (Bauhinia and Pompeii) can be explored on your own, while the other caves are only open for ranger guided tours.

The caves are all connected by a walking track, or can be reached by car if it is too hot, like it was when my friends and I visited. Each of the sites has a picnic area and toilets. The 19th century Chillagoe Smelter located nearby is also worth a visit.
