Mammoth Cave is a fascinating natural time capsule, home to ancient fossil remains of long-extinct Megafauna. A self-guided audio tour is available in English, French, German, Malay, and Mandarin, which allows visitors to explore the majestic chambers at their own pace. Mammoth Cave offers a unique window into the past, over 10,000 fossils once accumulated inside the cave, many of which were found to be remains of Australian Megafauna (giant animals) that became extinct around 46,000 years ago.

When exploring this incredible cave system, you will come face-to-face with a 50,000-year-old ‘'zygomaturus' jawbone embedded in the cave wall! A visit to Mammoth Cave finishes with a winding walk through a beautiful marri forest. The trail is lined with flourishing green foliage, towering trees and wildflowers during winter and spring. Mammoth Cave is more than a cave - it is a complete nature experience. Mammoth Cave is open daily between 9am to 5pm with the last entry to the caves at 4pm.
