The large grassy space at Borenore picnic area is a perfect place for the kids to run around before a picnic lunch.

Bring a picnic rug to lay out under the shade of one of the trees, or you can set up at one of the picnic tables. If you've driven along the Borenore trail before arriving at the caves, you'll definitely have some tasty things to cook up on the reserve's barbecues.

After you've enjoyed a picnic lunch at Borenore, the walk to Arch Cave is a must. It's an easy walk and it's a good idea to take a torch with you so the kids can get a close up view of the stalactites and stalagmites in the cavern. In summer, the caves offer some respite from the hot day and they're also home to a range of creatures, so keep your eyes peeled.
