Buchan Caves

The Buchan Caves are in East Gippsland, 45 minutes' beautiful drive from Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance (another two amazing best places to visit in Victoria). Parks Victoria oversees the Buchan Caves property, which offers camping and barbecue facilities for visitors and daytrippers to East Gippsland. For a single night or a longer stay, you can pitch a tent, bring a van, or stay in opulent glamping accommodations at Buchan Caves.

The Park is well known for the underground caves that may be explored. Early in the 19th century, The Fairy Cave and The Royal Cave were unintentionally found. The Royal Cave is not advised for anyone with mobility concerns because it is 500 meters long and has 150 steps within. You are astounded by the beauty of everything as you walk the tunnels and observe beautiful formations and underground ponds. During millions of years, when this area lay beneath the ocean, elaborate stalactites and stalagmites have been growing. Even one incredible petrified fish is available for viewing. Spend a night at Buchan Caves and extend your visit to the weekend. Stargaze at one of our powered or unpowered campsites, or spread out in the self-contained Caves House, which has space for two families.

Many hiking routes and local wildlife can be found in Buchan Caves. The Buchan Caves Reserve, which has walking trails and animals, is an excellent place to have a picnic. Kangaroos can frequently be seen hopping about, while possums are a nighttime sight if you camp. A freshwater lake near the caves gets its water directly from a cave and fills up. Because it's so chilly, Victoria's pool is frequently referred to as being the coldest. One of the best places to visit in Victoria is Buchan.
