We drove south from Margaret River through the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park and made our first stop at the Calgardup Cave. We kitted up with helmets and torches and climbed down into the cave. It had been a while since our last go at caving and we agreed that we selected sensibly and not the cave with vertical ladders, squeezes and slide. Had we selected the Mammoth Cave we would have seen a Zygomaturus or at least its jawbone but it was over 50,000 years old! We survived the event!

To abseil or walk?
We drove on through the park to reach the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse the tallest in WA and mainland Australia. We made it to the top and looked down to where the Southern and Indian Oceans come together. The waves came in from two angles. We also looked down on the three lighthouse keepers cottages sitting on the stark peninsula.

Golly I hope there was a lift up and down!! Great view.
No lift! We did decide against the cave with almost 400 steps!
