You'll have the opportunity to meet a kangaroo and a wallaby up close (yes, you can pet them.), feed rainbow colored exotic birds, take part in some of the chores typical of life on an Australian sheep station and listen to the ancient rhythms of a didgeridoo. You'll also get tour Kentucky Caverns, one of the most beautiful and easily accessible caves in the US. Kentucky Caverns was discovered 1799, and opened to public tours in 1922. The tour is approximately 45 minutes. This is an active cave: when it rains, the water drips down through the ground and into the cave continually creating new formations. There are many different formations to behold in the cave, such as stalagmites and stalactites, cave popcorn and cave cauliflower. |
