What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find Ben Hall's Cave a historically significant site with rewarding panoramic views, though the access and walking track can be challenging. The need to pack out all rubbish is a key aspect of responsible visitation.
"Ben Halls cave (named after Benjamin Hall Jr "Ben Hall"-Australian Bushranger) is accessible by starting at the campgrounds which is accessible by 4WD (recommended only), then is a walk up narrow paths from the campground to the cave, which is not for the faint hearted or for people with bad health. The cave is unique as part of Australia's history and has panoramic views including the valley floor below."

"Really worth the drive, neat and tidy camping area also"
Andre Herbst
"Well kept track and short easy walk. Better described as a rocky overhang as it lacks a number of key features one would expect from a true cave.
For some reason there is a requirement to bring garbage with you on all walks in this national park"
