To find a number of natural treasures all in one place when you take a medical job in Australia, take a trip to the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. One of the first regions you should explore is the Jenolan Caves, some of the most impressive limestone caves in the entire country. The 11 hidden havens below the earth glow brilliantly by natural and manmade light that reflects off the limestone, and winding underground rivers carve out unique formations.
When you arrive at this scenic attraction, don't be surprised if you hear melodic tunes filling the underground airwaves. Many of the companies that operate guided tours also organize live music shows in these unusual venues. To capture a different mood, the staff also offers nighttime ghost tours, telling spooky legends along the way—whether they're true or not, you can decide for yourself.
Because of the caves' popularity, as well as the number of hiking trails, rainforests and vantage points throughout the Blue Mountains, dozens of cozy cafes and restaurants like the Bistro and Chisholm's are situated near the scenic region, so you can satisfy your appetite after a long jaunt through the underground world.
