This magical cave is a natural time capsule; home to ancient fossil remains of long-extinct giant animals. A fascinating audio tour is available in several languages. Mammoth Cave is a self-guided cave, where visitors explore along the boardwalks and platforms, through the majestic chambers of the cave. This is much more than a cave - it is a complete nature experience. 

Mammoth Cave is the most easily accessed of all the show caves in the region, with wheelchair access into the first, most magnificent chamber of the cave.

The entrance boardwalk follows the path of a winter-stream, winding through the forest outside and into the massive first chamber of the cave. This is the site of one of Australia's most important palaeontological digs in the early 1900's. The cave still contains the fossil jawbone of a long-extinct giant marsupial species, embedded within the limestone wall - 50,000 years after the animal roamed the forests above.

A visit to Mammoth Cave finishes with a winding walk through the beautiful marri forest, with whistling birds and stunning flora displays. 

(Wheelchair access to the first chamber - sorry no prams or strollers).

Decided to go down south for the day and visited this massive cave, aptly named Mammoth Cave. Nice to explore. Good for a family outing or if you simply love nature. Didn't get a chance to explore the other nearby caves. Will have to go back. jmiw77

Excellent experience. Kids loved it. The sprinkle of rain on the walk back was nice. Those stairs out of the cave though... I can skip leg day today. Leon Grey

Great place to visit, takes about 2 hours to go through. One of the smaller caves in the region, fossil finds are interesting. Tickets are reasonably priced & comes with an audio guide Murali Valayutham

This was a great experience from start to finish. It is a self guided tour and it was nice to go at our own pace and enjoy the sights. I was thrilled that anyone can do this as one of my party has bad knees and was able to do this comfortably. The cave itself was absolutely stunning and the history of it was interesting. The lady who helped us was awesome. She was really helpful and had a wonderful sense of humour. The gift shop was adorable. So many gorgeous little gift ideas. I highly recommend this tour.

Loved the experience. It was a very first experience for us but that was so amazing. Cave was so beautiful from inside but was feeling cold as well inside. Worth visiting once. Twara Dholakia
