The name ‘Echo Caves’ derives from the rock formations in the caves. When one is struck the sound resonates from the blow, echoing down the system’s corridors for kilometres.
The Echo caves were discovered in the early 1900's by a local livestock farmer, who was in search of his cattle.
The caves' unique formations are a testament to the incredible power of geological forces that have shaped this natural wonder over millions of years.
The towering stalactites and stalagmites rise from the ground like giant sentinels.
