Hidden within the bushland in Bicentennial Reserve, this sandstone cave is linked to Australian poet and writer Henry Lawson, who spent time in Naremburn during the early twentieth century. Local accounts describe Lawson retreating to the cave after nights spent reciting poetry in nearby pubs. Today, the cave sits beside the walking path under a natural rock amphitheatre, with the surrounding bushland creating a noticeably quieter atmosphere despite the nearby suburbs.
