Hard track
Starting from Berlang Campground this track soon crosses Shoalhaven River (be ready to get your feet wet) then continues through dry eucalypt forest and nana heath all the way to The Big Hole - a roofless limestone cave which measures over 100m in depth and 50m in width. Let us begin by acknowledging the Ngunnawal people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
