Cave Gully is a natural wonder featuring a deep limestone gorge and a network of caves carved by water over millennia. Located just inland from Runaway Bay, this site offers a rugged adventure for those who love geology and exploration. Visitors can hike along the gully's edge, peer into shadowy cave entrances, and listen to the echoes of dripping water. The cool, damp air inside the caves contrasts with the tropical heat outside, and the rock formations display fascinating patterns. It's a place of raw beauty and tranquility, ideal for photographers and nature enthusiasts.
