Recommend a tour of Jewel Cave while in the Augusta/Margaret River Area. Interesting and beautiful formations and guide Richard was very informative with both his geology and knowledge of the cave and it's history. Tour went for an hour, there were a few hundred steps but no rush. Group limited to 30 people. Ours was much less than that. Recomnended

Meelup Reserve Trail

Reviewed By TrickyPerth - Perth, Australia

We walked from Dunsborough to half way along the Meelup Beach trail. It offers great views over Geographe Bay and later in the year will be a great place to see wildflowers. Take some water as there is no water available along the trail. Excellent for all walkers.

Busselton Foreshore

Reviewed By buss90

Love watching the foreshore transform. It's such an amazing space to spend a day, with the pirate ship playground, restaurants, of course the beautiful beach and now the Shelter brewery to enjoy. Something for everyone and so family friendly. Love spending our summer days here with the family.

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.

Ngilgi Cave

Explore the ancient wonders of Ngilgi Cave! The Cave is warm in winter and cool in summer. Ngilgi Cave is located just off Caves Road, a short distance north of Yallingup, beneath the limestone ridge which forms Cape Naturaliste. The fascinating association with a rich Aboriginal legend describing the battle between a good spirit (Ngilgi) and an evil spirit (Wolgine) gives Ngilgi Cave its name. Explore the cave and experience stunning stalactite, stalagmite, helictite and shawl formations. Visit an interpretive area detailing Ngilgi Cave's interesting history. A cafe, playground, barbecue facilities and walk trails make Ngilgi Cave a fun place to visit for the entire family.

We have done adventure caving in other parts of Australia but this was our best tour so far. Thanks to our friendly and knowledgeable guide Reuben we had an awesome time scrambling, climbing, crawling and squeezing our way to the ancient river bed and back in the course of almost three hours underground. Thanks also to Shea and Gemma for finding Hilary and Neil so that the tour could go ahead (otherwise we were short on numbers). Thanks to Hilary and Neil for agreeing to take the extended tour. We had a great time!

This is a great place to visit if you have animal lovers in the family. We spent over 2 hours there. My wife and daughter found the baby deer, goat and calf especially affectionate and friendly. The Clydesdale and roos were my favorites. Well worth a visit and good value for money for families.
