Description: Salt Cave, located at Salt Caves picnic area in the Pilliga Forest (also known as Pilliga Scrub) and Timmallallie National Park, NSW. According to legend the Salt Caves were once thirty metres deep, and salt hung in columns like stalactites from the roof. Wild horses, wild cattle and kangaroos were often seen and local women collected the salt to cure their meat. The Salt Caves are an important Aboriginal site and are an excellent example of shelters used by the traditional Gamilaroi people.
