There are quite a few caves in this
part of the world, and we opted to visit Ngilgi Cave. When you first
enter, you're guided into the Amphitheatre which is a big cave, then
you're left on your own devices to explore the Main cave via a series
of winding passages and a lot of steps, reaching the deepest part at
Cupid's Corner. The LED lighting is subdued but the colours, while
subtle, create a good impression. At the far end, there's another
guide stationed who explains some of the cave's features and directs
you around a loop and back towards the entrance. The whole tour
takes about an hour, but since you're on you're own for most of the
time, it can take a little less, or as long as you like.
I can't remember how many steps they told us we encountered, but it was a lot, so then we headed to Wise's Winery for a terrific lunch. The food wasn't innovative but it was done very well indeed, and the outlook over the vines and Geographe Bay was memorable.
You sent me scurrying to Google images- the cave looks marvellous! More personal camera shots of sights please...
