Write a reviewHermits Cave is situated to the left and down a path below the Sir Dudley de Chair's Lookout. The cave was once the home of Valerio Riccett, a miner from Broken Hill. After being jilted, he left Broken Hill and lived the life of a hermit in his cave on Scenic Hill. During World War II, he was interned and after his release he returned to the cave. He became very ill and sought refuge from one of the local doctors. In return for treatment he tended the doctors garden. The hermit again became very ill and the citizens of Griffith collected money and sent him back to his home country in Italy where 3 months later he died. Call into the visitors' centre for a copy of the Hermit's story.
