Lake Cave is sometimes said to be the most beautiful cave of Australia. The speleothems are exceptional but the cave is rather small. The single most extraordinary speleothem is the suspended table, a huge plate of calcite with a size of some 10m². It once formed as a layer of calcite on the floor, at the foot of two massive columns. Later the material below was transported away and the columns are now holding the plate in the air, 20cm above the surface of the cave lake.

  • Attraction: Eagles Heritage
  • Location: Margaret River WA - Phone: 08 9757 2960
  • Description: In this natural bushland setting in the heart of the beautiful Margaret River wine region you will see the largest collection of Eagles, Hawks, Falcons and Owls in Australia.
    Eagles Heritage was established in 1987 out of a need to provide homes for permanently disabled birds of prey and owls which had been handed in and cared for by volunteers, but which, due to the nature of their injuries, were unable to make a recovery sufficient for their return to the wild. The park opened its gates to the public for the first time on New Year's Day in 1998. The fauna you see on display at Eagles Heritage are permanently disabled rehabilitation patients, captive bred birds and individuals which have been tranferred in from other facilities. Many more birds are rehabilitated and returned to the wild each year. Away from the public view, seven acres at Eagles Heritage has been set aside for wildlife rehabilitation, including a hospital and specialised facilities designed to help sick, injured and orphaned raptors return to the wild. The centre provides training and support for volunteer wildlife rehabilitators who wish to work with these unique and amazing birds. Education opportunities are also available for animal health professionals and students seeking to expand their skills.
