jewel cave

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 📍jewel cave 🚗Search the name of the attraction on Google Map to get there About 40 minutes drive from Margaret River town Very spectacular and detailed stalactite cave Tickets: $25 AUD per person Trust me, don’t be reluctant to part with the tickets, you won’t regret it! _ Let me first briefly introduce the causes and history of this place. This is a limestone cave. It was born through a natural process that took millions of years. 💡 Causes 1️⃣ The stratum where the cave is located was originally the ocean. The remains of dead plants and animals on the seafloor formed calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), which was gradually compacted into limestone. 2️⃣ Rainwater penetration + acid corrosion: Rainwater mixes with carbon dioxide in the air and soil, turning into weak acid, which penetrates into the limestone and slowly dissolves underground space - the cave itself - over a long period of time. 3️⃣ The formation of stalactites and stalagmites (more than tens of thousands of years): Calcium-containing water droplets that seep into the cave leave calcium carbonate on the cave ceiling to form stalactites, and drip onto the ground to form stalagmites. Eventually some of them will form a "stone pillar" 📝History 1️⃣Discovery time: 1950s Jewel Cave was discovered by local explorers in the 1950s. They entered through a narrow crack, lit a kerosene lamp, and were stunned by the stalactite wonders in front of them. 2️⃣ Opening to the outside world: 1959 After careful development and the installation of trail lighting, Jewel Cave has become one of Australia's most famous tourist caves and is managed by the Cape Leeuwin Conservation Organization. 3️⃣ Protection work: In order to protect this extremely fragile environment, the tour guides in the cave control the number of people, temperature, humidity and lighting throughout the tour to ensure that the stalactites will not be damaged. *️⃣Surprise Features*️⃣ Discovery of thylacine remains The remains of a Tasmanian tiger (thylacine) tens of thousands of years old were found in the cave, preserved in a dry cave without any decay. That's why there's a statue of a thylacine at the entrance. _ Actually, I thought that stalactite caves were not like that🤣 After the actual visit, I really reminded myself again The world is big, don't measure it with your own cognition To be honest, I didn't take a good photo, it was too dark My photos can't do this place justice If the stalactites in the Kester terrain of Halong Bay are an uncle The stone pillars and stalagmites here are like a pretty little girl. 🔔Visit reminder 1. You must follow the tour guide here, and there is a time limit for the number of people 2. The tour is in English and takes about 1 hour 3. The cave is slippery and there are many stairs, so choose your shoes carefully ‼ ️There is a guided tour session that I really like! At the bottom, the guide will turn off all the lights Let everyone feel "absolute darkness" It was a very special experience because in our lives This kind of absolute darkness is absolutely impossible Even in places without light pollution, there is still moonlight At that moment, everyone was so quiet It seems as if following this magnificent cave, we have returned to thousands of years ago.
