Tours and AdventuresMammoth Cave
Description
A natural time capsule, once home to ancient fossil remains of long-extinct Australian Megafauna.
Nestled within the stunning karri and marri forest, Mammoth Cave is a site of incredible natural and historical significance. Once home to ancient fossils of Australia’s megafauna—giant animals that roamed the Earth before their extinction around 46,000 years ago—the cave offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Don’t miss the 50,000-year-old zygomaturus jawbone, a relic of a large wombat-like herbivore, still embedded in the cave wall.
Self-guided audio tours, available in English, French, German, Malay, and Mandarin, allow you to explore at your own pace while learning about the cave’s fascinating history and natural features.
A gently sloping boardwalk and stairs guide you through the cave, where you’ll encounter crystal stalactites, stalagmites, and a seasonal stream that flows through the cave during late winter and early spring.
As you exit the cave, stairs lead you into a tranquil forest setting. The tour concludes with a peaceful walk through the marri and karri forest.
