36 years ago, Mark accidentally found a cave while hiking in Blue Mountain, a suburb of Sydney. He immediately fell in love with it, and it took him three years to persuade his master to buy the cave. Later, because the family changed, Mark lived alone in the cave for a year. The experience also led him to decide to make the place where he was given sense of security as a shelter.

On the outskirts of Sydney, Australia, there is a cave shelter hidden in a deep mountain. Caves are natural, not much decorated, not even a bed, can only sleep tents and sleeping bags.

But as such a small cave, at least 10 months a year it is full! Up to now, more than 5,000 guests have come to live, the famous American "Playboy" magazine, has been a long distance, with a bunch of beautiful women to the cave to shoot a large film.

Mark, 60, is the owner of the cave. 36 years ago, he was hiking on the Blue Mountain, a suburb of Sydney, when he suddenly saw a flock of goats in the woods and followed them all the way, only to discover the cave.

He immediately fell in love with this place and wanted to buy it, but the owner did not want it. He spent three years persuading his master and finally took the cave.

But not long after he bought the cave, Mark's mother died of cancer, divorced herself, forced to separate from three children, and the dog that had been with him for seven years.

For 12 months, Mark slept in the cave almost every day, and the cave gave him the sense of security to accompany him through the most difficult moments of his life. It also led him to decide to make the cave a shelter and share it with more people. Five years ago, he put the cave on Airbnb and opened it to the outside world.

This is a natural cave, the front is an arch, 25 meters high, 20 meters wide, the size of a tennis court, 10 people live in more than enough space.

Mark retains the original look of the cave, just adding tables, chairs and essential amenities, a simple gas stove, a simple meal, and an eco-toilet, designed by Mark himself, to light a bonfire at night and sleep in a sleeping bag. Basic life is not a problem. There are no beasts nearby, very safe, can be assured to be a mountain cave man.

Above the cave, Mark built his own house and walked out of the cave for 20 minutes.

Ten people can live here, if you want to live in this cave, then this house is also packed for rent.

Mark also made a swing in the cave, especially for children.

The strange terrain allows the cave to produce special sound effects, and Mark, who has never studied music, can't help but play with the guitar.

It is also for this reason that many well-known musicians have come to live in this cave, not for commercial performances, but purely for vacations.

Mark even invented an instrument called emu bass. Emu, a large Australian bird, is taller than a human being and often makes a sound like this instrument.

Many people were a little worried before they came to live in the cave: such a primitive cave without a bed would be uncomfortable to live in?

But after most of the guests come to live, they are always thinking about the cave. Others say the cave has a mysterious sense of security rather than living in an apartment building in a big city.

Mark's home and hat studio are also here. After he resigned from the Inland Revenue Department at the age of 20, he taught himself to make leather goods and became a freelance professional, often making odd hats, such as the water spray hat.

From being a hat to being a sleepover, Mark doesn't learn anything in school, it's all about self-study! Read a book or ask someone if you don't understand. He said, life is full of fun, so busy and tired work, no more interesting things, how to be worthy of themselves.
