Sinossi
The Jenolan Caves contain some of the most remarkable and beautiful objects in Australian wonderland. They are formed in a limestone "dyke," surrounded by magnificent scenery, and hide in their dark recesses natural phenomena of rare interest to the geologist, as well as of pleasurable contemplation by non-scientific visitors; while in and about them the moralist may find "-- tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,Sermons in stones, and good in everything." To see these caves once is to create a lifelong memory. The pink and the white terraces of New Zealand, which before the recent eruptions attracted so many tourists, did not excel in splendour the caves at Jenolan. But it is common for people to go abroad to admire less interesting things than are to be found within easy distance of their starting point, and which, if they were a thousand miles away, would probably be regarded as worthy of a special pilgrimage. There are persons living two or three leagues from the caves who have never seen them, and who, if they embraced the opportunity for inspection, would possibly regard them with the kind of wonder with which they would gaze upon the transformation scene at a pantomime. And yet the most frequent entry in the visitors' book is that the caves are "grand beyond expectation," and in some of their principal features "indescribably beautiful."

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -'The Jenolan Caves: An Excursion in Australian Wonderland' by Samuel Cook offers a comprehensive exploration of the Jenolan Caves, a remarkable natural wonder located in New South Wales, Australia. The book provides a detailed account of the caves' discovery, their geological significance, and the breathtaking beauty they hold. The Jenolan Caves, formed in a limestone dyke, are renowned for their stunning stalactites and stalagmites, which have been shaped over millennia by the forces of water and time. Cook describes the caves as a place where nature's artistry is on full display, with formations that resemble everything from Gothic cathedrals to delicate coral reefs. The narrative begins with the historical context of the caves' discovery in 1841 by James Whalan, who stumbled upon them while tracking a bushranger. Over the years, the caves have become a popular destination for tourists and scientists alike, drawn by their unique geological features and the sense of wonder they inspire. Cook's account is rich with vivid descriptions of the caves' various chambers, including the Grand Arch, the Devil's Coach House, and the Nettle Cave, each with its own distinct characteristics and allure. Cook emphasizes the importance of preserving these natural treasures, noting the impact of human activity on their delicate ecosystems. He advocates for responsible tourism and the use of non-invasive lighting to protect the caves' pristine beauty. The book is not only a guide to the physical exploration of the caves but also an invitation to appreciate the slow, transformative processes of nature that have created such a magnificent subterranean world.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 122 pp. Englisch.
