Main building	Lake Armida	Lake Armida
One of the frogs the kids tried in vain to catch	The out-fitting gazebo	They supply a helmet with a headlamp (the cave is low in many areas)
The cave entrance where you start your course in 'Speleology' (the study and science of cave exploration)	Heading down the first tunnel	The cave’s temperature is a constant 4°C
We headed down first	Here we are standing in the lower part of the cave	We need to climb these stairs to access the upper section
The 'Lyse Gallery' (The Lyse Gallery is where the bats hibernate)	Another passage	Another passage
Here a brave soul tries out the 'Ant passage'	Hmm.. this looks eerily like a jawbone complete with teeth	Another passage
Another passage	Not what you expect to see in most caves but most welcome as the roof is low along this section	The 'Dream Gallery' aptly named for the brave who sleep over in this cave section
Another passage	Another passage	This passage looks a little small for me!
Heading out of the last large section	Obviously the cave exit!	Here someone scampers along a boardwalk high up in the trees as he follows the Aerial section
The boardwalk along here offers a view of lake Armida below	Someone tires out the first 'zip' line across lake Armida	this is the last 'zip' line allows you to cross lake Armida to the start
