It was a rather nice day, although it had its moments of frustration! The rest made up for it though. *g*
The caves did have recordings on speakers that started automatically as you went around, but the sound wasn't always good enough to hear them properly, although they were quite loud when you were standing there, and I ended up giving most of them a miss because of that. I'd be surprised if they couldn't find people willing to be hired as tour leaders - jobs are jobs, after all - so I really suspect its the profit thing, sadly...
I thought the dinosaurs were a bit tacky too, but they were reasonably well done in fact, and the kids all loved them, so actually it could have been much worse. I wish they'd been a separate attraction, but I suspect that was part of the profit-thing too...
It was nice visiting Australia on such a grey day! *g*
