Mammoth Cave Margaret River

Mammoth Cave in the Margaret River region of Western Australia is a natural time capsule, home to the ancient fossil remains of long-extinct Australian megafauna. As the most easily accessible of the region's show caves, it can be explored without a live guide, at your own pace, with an audio guide at your side. More than 10,000 fossils have accumulated inside the cave, many of them the remains of giant animals that became extinct around 46,000 years ago. As you make your way through the cave, the audio commentary tells the story of these long-extinct giant marsupials and of one of Australia's most important palaeontological digs, carried out at Mammoth Cave in the early 1900s. The highlight of the visit is coming face to face with a 50,000-year-old zygomaturus jawbone still embedded in the limestone wall. Your ticket includes entry to the cave and the forest walk, making this a relaxed nature experience for friends and families exploring Western Australia's South West.
