The second Cave we decided to do was the Lake Cave, a smaller Cave than the last one, but with a Lake inside, we thought worth a look. You entered via 300 plus steps down into an area where the cave roof had collapsed and into the cave proper at the bottom.
You can just see the walkway in the photo to the middle left.
There were a lot of old Stalactites and Stalagmites exposed to the outside that had been growing before the roof collapsed. Once out in the open they stop growing and get covered in Moss.
This Cave wasn't as brightly lit as the last one but had a certain charm non the less.
These two columns were hanging from the ceiling without touching the floor. Apparently they had been sitting on soft Rock which had worn away over the Centuries by the Water leaving them Suspended.
Some nice Stalactites just hanging around.
And then there was the long climb back to the surface.
Well worth a visit but not as big or spectacular as the Ngili cave.
While in the area we decided to visit the Old Waterwheel. Yes we wondered what it was all about as well!
This should tell you all about it.
I dont think its been turning for quite some time.
Next we are on our way from the Margaret River area and Head for Albany.
Cheers Dave and Helen
