Lake Cave

Lake Cave is a stunning crystal wonderland; the only cave in the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge with a permanent lake. The water acts as a mirror, reflecting the myriad of delicate crystal straws above. The cave is renowned for the ‘Suspended Table’ – a massive calcite decoration, weighing several tonnes, that hangs from the ceiling and almost touches the surface of the lake. The precinct features an interpretative centre, retail and cafe facilities. Located 20 kilometres south of Margaret River.

Absolutely beautiful drive. Well worth the deviation off the main highway. Driving through the amazing tall Karri Forest is breathtaking- as are the views if you make it the viewpoint at the top

Mammoth Cave

Mammoth is an impressive, gothic-like cave that could easily be described as the perfect home for a caveman. Tours are self-guided with an audio headset and begin via an elevated boardwalk through towering karri forest. As you journey through the spectacular formations lookout for the carefully lit animal bones and fossils and listen to the stories about extinct animals. Wildflowers are abundant around the precinct from September to November. Located 18km south of Margaret River.

As you listen to the recording of the self guided tour you will see the magnificence of what nature can produce. This cave network is just a marvel to observe and take your time on the walk back as the bush is also full of beauty that is also included on the recording. Just a hint, for all caves tours, take a light jacket as even on a warm day inside the cave will buy a lot cooler.

Soo cool to go into the caves by ourselves and there was noone else there either. The staff that greeted us and gave us helmets and flash lights were awesome and great great knowledge of everything going on in and around the caves!
