Lake Cave, Margaret River, WA

Visit on the 1 Dec 09

Lake Cave is situated 25km south of Margaret River. It is renowned for its "Suspended Table" that weighs in excess of 5 tonnes, its seems to hang from the ceiling, hovering just a few centimetres above the lake creating a spectacular sight. Along Margaret River, there are 3 other caves to visit, the Mammoth Cave, Jewel Cave and Lake Cave. I guess visiting one cave is enough, and lake cave might be the better choice among the 3 other caves. The cave still has water in it.

The ticket price is AUD19.50, the tour last around 45 mins. Prepare for some stairs climbing, for the elderly, this might be a bit tiring for them.

Having been to caves in Malaysia and Thailand, this is certainly more beautiful and cooling. However, as what the Lake Cave tour guide told us, this cave is a pretty young cave as compared to the caves in Vietnam and China, which are a few thousand years old, much bigger and more beautiful.

Beaches in Western Australia

Today on the 26th Dec, Boxing Day is the 5th anniversary of the Tsunami, lets remember those killed in the Asian Tsunami five years earlier.

The beaches in western Australia, Indian Ocean...



Visited 2 of the beaches, the first is a surfer's beach, the waves are perfect for surfers. Pretty soon it was sunset and the surfer packed up and left, it was getting too cold and windy.

Meetup Beach (Indian Ocean)


Meetup Beach, came across the sign along the roads where we made a turn inside, I can't tell the exact location. Just a few locals at the quiet beach, it is not a tourist attraction anyway, one of the most beautiful and calm beach I had came across in Australia, the water is cool and crystal clear...
