This is the story of the men who explored, guided and helped with the development of the Jenolan Caves in the Blue Mountains. Officially discovered in 1838, some question remains as to whether this complex of limestone caverns was encountered by earlier European visitors with the distinct possibility that it may have served as a hideout for bushrangers. Of course, indigenous explorers have known about the caves for a longer period than that, but this is not the scope of the present work: rather, it looks at the custodial and exploratory services rendered by scientific and community-minded individuals who took upon themselves the task of mapping, examining and preserving the complex for the benefit of all comers. Basil Ralston was uniquely able to provide this perspective as a long-time guide, conservator and explorer of the caves. Within these pages are many photographs and reproduced documents revealing everything from great moments of discovery to the tourist paraphernalia generated by the site over the years. This revised third edition expands the older versions with new scientific material and more photographs, some never before published.

Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Trickett was Yorkshire born. He came to Australia when he was about 15. He was appointed clerk in the Office of Mines. After qualifying as a surveyor he moved to New South Wales where he became interested in the limestone caves. To assist in surveying them, he designed an adaptation of the plane table to be used in conjunction with the theodolite. In addition, he gave advice on protecting the caves' formations and on improving them for tourists. An untiring worker in both field and office, Trickett - though of a retiring disposition - was well-known to tourists all over the State as the genial 'cave man'. His speleological work was fundamental to the scientific study of Australian karst topography.
