Get Involved With Jenolan
Jenolan is a great place to visit but what if you want to get a bit more involved. Many people find themselves coming back at least once a year, sometimes more. Some people want to find out how to see extra bits of the caves that the average person seldom gets to see. Other people just want to hang out with those cool dudes, the guides. Here are some ideas
Join the Jenolan Newsletter mailing list
I started this list years ago as an adjunct to this website. It started off as a few people who worked there or belonged to the historical society. Over time more people joined. Many people who join just want to hear what we are talking about. Firstly you get emails from people who love the place and want to know more. They may be tourists, or they may be guides, cave explorers or scientists or historical society members. You're free to email as well. Every now and then special events are held so you can do things at Jenolan which the average visitor never gets a chance to.
