In 200 kilometers from Sydney in 1994 the special species of pines in the territory of Vollemi’s park was found. And in 1995 such pines began to cultivate also in Maunt Ennan, calling them vollemsky pines. Some time trees were placed in steel cages to protect them from theft, pines were considered as very valuable. Pines can be considered as a peculiar sight of the Botanical garden of Sydney in which there is the most unique collection of the first generation of pines in the world today that contains 60 copies.
Traditionally, sight of the city Maunt Ennan is divided into several platforms which differ by species of plants, it both the Garden of Big Plans, and the Garden of banksiya, and the Garden of the Australian acacias. Here live to the wallaby and a vallar, more than 160 bird species fly. In a garden there are zones for picnics, the set of pedestrian roads which were stretched on 20 kilometers are laid here.

In 1841 the runaway convict from prosecutions of gendarmes took cover here and already after him considered as the pioneer of caves. Caves as early as years 30 after that were investigated and were not open for visit by tourists. At the end of the 19th century their ardent admirer Jeremy Wilson lodged in caves and for 35 years was engaged in their research. He told to the world of beauty of this sight of Sydney.
In 1866 caves were taken under protection of the state, and in 1884 they were named by Dzhenolanskimi, and this name remained and until now. They say that many who came into caves without attendant who knows these places, could not leave it did not get out of this underground kingdom any more. This sight of Sydney has the symbolical name which in language of natives means “highly”. Caves are formed by the rivers Coke and Fish which reserved underground channels, hitting in calcareous deposits during one hundred thousands of years.
