We carried on heading south once we had woken up and had breakfast. We was heading down to Rockhampton. According to the Lonely Planet Guide to Australia, one of the things you have to do when in or near Rockhampton is got the Capricorn caves.
So we took the slight detour to the caves and paid a modest fee for our guided tour. Now you had to wear proper shoes, not thongs (flip flops). So I wore my black pumps. Which have no grip what so ever. Not the smartest thing to wear when you in a wet and slipy cave. So the guide takes us into the cave. Pretty much from the start I know I am not going to like this. Bats. Bats. Bats. There are bats everywhere. Flying around and within millimeters. I cant look straight ahead, just have to look at the floor. The guide thinks its hilarious. I just cannot wait for the end. So we go through the caves its a pretty easy walk. Then we get to the 'Cathedral'. He is where people come to get married. Who would want to get married in a bat infested wet slipy cave? No thanks.
We was made to sit in the cathedral to 'experience' it. Apparently the acoustics are amazing. So basically the guide made us listen to some music while she turned a few lights on and off. Thank god that was the end of the tour because I was pretty close wetting myself in there.
We carried on south and booked into a campsite at Rockhampton.
