The cave is probably Calgardup or Ruddock Cave in the South-West of Western Australia. If you recognise the cave please contact us and let us know.

Not sure of the location of this flowstone and gours but think it is in Mammoth Cave, WA. Could anyone with any more information please let us know

The Amphitheatre in Yallingup Cave. Need a modern photo to compare it with current day. Check out the upside down lampshade.

The Jewel Casket from 1900. Unfortunately vandalised by a visitor and "repaired" by Norm Poulter. Once again a comparison photo would be useful to see how much remains.
