In the beautiful karri forest of the Leeuwin Naturaliste Ridge, hidden in the depths of Jewel Cave, the largest calcite straw stalactite of any show cave on Earth stands at a staggering 580 centimetres. Jewel also lays claim to being one of the biggest show caves in Australia, sinking to a reachable depth of 42 metres and stretching for 1.9 kilometres and, remarkably, it's also one of the world's youngest caves. You'll find this gem just 37 kilometres south of Margaret River or, if you're driving up from Augusta, it's just nine kilometres to the north, along Caves Road. In the soft golden glow of spotlights, the sheer magnitude and beauty of Jewel Cave's formations leave all visitors awe-struck. The first descent, down a long and narrow tunnel, brings you to the top of the first giant cavern and makes for a breathtaking introduction to the rest of the tour. During early exploration of the cave, another extraordinary treasure was discovered, in the form of an ancient Tasmanian tiger fossil. One is on display in the spectacular interpretation centre that features iPad technology and a cafe with stunning forest views.

Lake Cave is a stunning crystal wonderland which plays on the mind of the child in all of us. Lying directly below CaveWorks, the educative headquarters of the Augusta Margaret River caves of the Leeuwin Naturaliste Ridge, this pristine cavern has delighted people of all ages. It’s highly recommended for children and adults, especially those new to the cave experience. Descend a staircase in time to gaze up at towering karri trees from a primeval lost world before entering one of the most stunning limestone caves in Western Australia. A testament to nature’s beauty, the mirrored reflections give a sense of peace in this cave. It’s easy to see why it was originally named by its first tour guide, Tim Connelly, as “The Queen of the Earth.” A light show highlights the many different features and visitors also get a taste of sitting in the underground darkness. Above ground, visit CaveWorks interpretive centre where children can go on the Cave Crawl. The Lake Cave tearooms nearby give you the chance to also enjoy a quick snack or meal. Lake Cave is relaxing 20 minutes drive south of Margaret River, along the famous Caves Road.
