A review of the Capricorn Caves was made upon the recommendation of local informants. We quickly realized that rather than a scientific attraction, we had stumbled upon a cultural attraction. These were not just any caves. These were Bogan caves.
In one of the larger rooms that was converted into a chapel for weddings we found ourselves seated in the pews. Soon our Bogan guide lit candles in the front of the room, put a bootleg copy of Enya on the CD player, and treated us to a Bogan light show. Rather than having a sophisticated sound and light production. The young Bogan flicked several light switches on and off for the Bogan crowd’s enjoyment. Lord Bailey and I fear that the Bogan plague may soon escape from mainland Australia to the rest of the Southern Hemisphere.
