The sinkhole was formed when the top of a chamber collapsed and created this interesting formation. Since then a garden has been planted and a staircase constructed to access it.

The resident colony of possums make an appearance at dusk and enjoy being fed fresh fruit (no bread please). A large undercover shelter with group seating and free barbecue is provided. The kiosk on site offers coffee, snacks, ice creams and souvenirs.

A truly beautiful spot and free of charge to check out any time 24 hours a day.
