Capricorn Caves celebrates "Independence Day"

Capricorn Caves resounded to a different tune on 4th July as over 100 American students sang their National Anthem "The Star Spangled Banner" in honour of Independence Day.
A pivotal moment was the cutting of the cake, a large American flag.The students are part of the People to People Student Ambassador contingent that travel from Sydney to Cairns throughout June and July. Capricorn Caves has a lot of fun hosting the students and their leaders as they thoroughly enjoy their cave experience. They not only have a chance to learn about an ancient Australian landscape and its native animals and flora but also have the opportunity to get down and dirty amongst the bat......!!

Matthew Hayden visits Capricorn Caves

This week Capricorn Caves hosted a special visitor - the world famous cricketer Matthew Hayden. Matthew exchanged cricket bats for another type of bat in the caves. We hoped to put him through his paces - squeezing through "Fat Man's Misery", but unfortunately we ran out of time.

Matthew is heading promotional video team "Operation Sunshine" highlighting that Queensland is very much open for business. He also generously signed cricket memorabilia for local junior cricket teams and posed for photos with the visiting Rockhampton Grammar school students.

Well done and thank you Matthew - your visit was a highlight.
