The stretch of coastline from Yallingup through Margaret River to Augusta is famous for its caves. You drive along Caves Road through rolling farmland and vineyards to visit some of the world's most sparkling caves. This is a pot-holer's paradise, but for the normal tourist conducted tours of these caves are not to be missed.
The Lake Cave at Margaret River is reached by a winding staircase that leads down to a gigantic crater. Entering the cave, the sparkling underground lake, the shimmering stalactites and the mineral deposits on the walls shimmer like jewels refracting and reflecting the artificial lights. Its a splendid sight.
Just north of Augusta, you come to Jewel Cave. Its name says it all. Among massive pillars, naturally sculpted formations, you wander up and down, over and along a still river, while the lights pick out the plethora of stalactites like gems in a Rajah's Palace.
