Stunning Caves

The Margaret River region offers visitors some of the most unique and stunning cave experiences in Australia.
 
Along the spine of the Leeuwin Naturaliste Ridge and beneath soaring Karri forest lie more than 150 caves. These caves belong to a series of complex and fragile Karst systems which are landscapes formed by the rapid drainage of water underground. Karst systems are characterised most often by caves, dolines (large holes), blind valleys, sinking streams and springs. The main road that travels along the Leeuwin Naturaliste Ridge is aptly named Caves Road.
 
The Augusta Margaret River Tourism Association operates three spectacular show caves; LakeMammoth and Jewel.  These caves are easily accessible, each with their own story to tell and decorated with their own unique formations.
 
Lake, Mammoth and Jewel caves are open to the public every day of the year, with the exception of Christmas Day.
