Mammoth Cave Self-guided Audio Tour (Located in Western Australia)
Nestled within the stunning karri and marri forest, Mammoth Cave is a site of incredible natural and historical significance. Once home to ancient fossils of Australia’s megafauna—giant animals that roamed the Earth before their extinction around 46,000 years ago—the cave offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Don’t miss the 50,000-year-old zygomaturus jawbone, a relic of a large wombat-like herbivore, still embedded in the cave wall.
Self-guided audio tours, available in English, French, German, Malay, and Mandarin, allow you to explore at your own pace while learning about the cave’s fascinating history and natural features.
Wheelchair access is available to the first chamber of the cave (approximately 30 metres) and is free of charge. Please call for more information.
Stairs guide you through the remainder of the cave, where you’ll encounter crystal stalactites, stalagmites, and a seasonal stream that flows through the cave during late winter and early spring.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Mammoth Cave
Entering Mammoth Cave through stunning karri forest via a gently sloping boardwalk, you'll realise just how much there is to see here. Over 10,000 fossils had at one time accumulated inside the cave; and upon excavation, many of these were found to be remains of Australian Megafauna (giant animals) that became extinct around 46,000 years ago. There is even a 50,000-year-old 'zygomaturus' jawbone embedded in the cave wall. Wander at your own pace along the boardwalks and platforms, through the majestic chambers of the cave. As you go, your audio tour provides information on the history, geology and biology of the cave and surrounds. If you visit during winter, you'll see a stream flowing through the cave which flows a remarkable red colour; from natural tannins drawn from the leaf-litter in the surrounding forest. As you leave the cave, you have the option to complete your tour with a walk along the beautiful 'Marri Trail', with a rich variety of song birds and stunning flora displays. Mammoth Cave is much more than a cave - it is a complete nature experience.
