mimbi caves印象

The Mimbi Caves experience was fabulous. Out in the outback in a small group with a great Aboriginal guide. The scenery leading to the caves is amazing. Damper and tea around the small billabong with a country song or 2. The caves have ancient paintings on the walls and beautiful pools of water with amazing reflections

Contrary to the previous review, Ronnie had a great deal of knowledge of the traditional dream time stories and the inhabitants of early Aboriginal people and settlers. Yes, there was absolutely information on the German squatters, which I found each interesting, factual and the history of the caves, thus a great deal of importance to the accounts of the past.Not only was the history of the site described to include dream time stories the experience of smoked wood and damper. And Ronnie was a hoot to be around.The caves are a natural wonder and very interesting. While the site is on private land and a tour is required to visit it is not to be missed.Be sure to add the tour to your itinerary 10am on the dot.

The place is very nice, with wonderful limestone cliffs and reef fossile, but the tour has low added value. We were expecting, as stated on the flyer, website and visitor center a real cultural tour. The knowledge of the fauna and flora was quite poor as our questions were not answered properly. Worse, the ancient petroglyphs and paintings must have a dozens of year ( some paintings are depicting a car). The guide recognised there was no ancient paintings in the cave. There is no more fossiles as you can see yourself in Geikie Gorge. The guide only shown us a tiny shell. The caves were dead caves (i.e. no longer forming carbonate structures inside), despite of what our guide was saying... We also had to visit some parts of the cave by ourselves, as it was probably too effort demanding to come with us, and to explain us...The legend of the blue tong lizard was properly explained, but there was not enough content on aboriginal culture... He was keeping in mentionning the leftovers of german squatters who came in the 80s on site, and talking about expanding his business, building a campsite...

We drove 90 km from fitzroy crossing & paid $80 each for a tour that was to be. 3 hours. It was all over in less than 2 hours. & I could have been the guide, even though I have no knowledge of the caves & limited knowledge of aboriginal culture . We had a young guide who was a lovely young man but should not have been guiding solo. I was told that Ronnie is fantastic, so was very disappointed to have an inexperienced guide. He showed us the limestone formations in the shape of a pregnant woman & broccoli !! I left a comment on their website- NO reply. Do not do this tour unless you are told who your guide is .
