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

As one of its highest peaks, this is one of the few places where snow ever falls in Western Australia. With a 5 and 8 year old, we weren't sure we'd make it, but we made it and by the end there was a real sense of achievement. All up with plenty of lollies and tea stops, it took 5 hours. While there wasn't much to see because of clouds at the top, the view on the way up under the clouds was stunning. Plants and wildlife around the area are very rare and some can only be found in the local area. The first half of the trail up the mountain is mostly simple steps and gravel walkways, but as you get further up, there are more rocky patches with some parts being slippery in the wet. Definitely wear appropriate footwear for rocky terrain and bring plenty of snacks and water.

We spent 3 night in a spacious, quiet site in Dales Gorge Campground. Everywhere we visited in Karijini NP was beautiful from the spectacular view to excellent walks and hikes. The visitor centre is about 10 km from Dales Campground, it has free wifi and a shower. In the overflow area near the Information centre you can dispose of rubbish and obtained some water. I personally loved the Dales Gorge round trip hike down to Fortesque falls, Fern Pool, walked through the Gorge to Stunning Circular Pool then climbed approximately 100 metres up, out of the Gorge. Also the view at Oxer Lookout is stunning. There are plenty of toilets throughout the NP and parking plus at Weano Gorge there is a picnic area. There is some dirt, corrugated roads into Weano and Hancock Gorges. No Telstra. Highly recommend.

10. Lake Cave
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,759 reviews
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.
