Virtual Cave - It is hard to go past this site if you are looking for information on different types of cave formations. Bear in mind that it is an american site and so some of the terms may differ from those that we use in Australia. Every type of formation is accompanied by photos, descriptions of how they form and other relevant information. There is a great graphical site map which is a picture of a cave with links placed on each of the formations. This would look great printed out in colour. On a down side, this site is often inaccessible.

Mineral Net - If you want to get down into the different types of minerals and crystals, not just related to caves but to the mineral world in general then this is the site to visit

A book on Glowworms in Australia and New Zealand - A book by ACKMA members Cathie Plowman and David Merritt on glowworm species in Australia and New Zealand.
