Learn about the interesting history of the Naracoorte Caves from the park's Senior Guide, Barbara Lobban. Barb has worked at the Naracoorte Caves for over twenty years and has a keen interest in the history of the site.

Learn about early scientific discoveries and developments in the caves, from early research by Julian Tenison-Woods, historical uses of the caves post-European colonisation and development by early park managers and the eventual discovery of significant fossil deposits in Victoria Fossil Cave.

The World Heritage listing of the park will also be explored as the culmination of this work that has occurred for well over 170 years.

As South Australia's only World Heritage listed site and with the majestic Blanche Cave as a backdrop, this is an event not to be missed.

This project was made possible by funding from the Australian Government as part of National Science Week.
