Wee Jasper

Thought to be named after tiny green gemstones found by an early Scots resident which he called ‘Wee Jaspers’, this natural wonderland is ideal for exploring, camping, picnicking, bird-watching, and outdoor enjoyment.

When visiting Wee Jasper, it’s not hard to imagine the prehistoric days when megafauna such as giant kangaroos and wombat-like creatures roamed the hills. Fossil viewing abounds as part of specialist tours with expert guides. Carey’s Cave offers one of Australia’s most memorable natural experiences while properly equipped adventurers can discover a myriad of other wild limestone cave systems.
