Sometimes we just need to slow down and soak in the cave ambiance.

If we’re lucky enough to have a water droplet land on us, we call it a cave kiss 😙

Did you know every working lighthouse has a unique light characteristic? A combination of colour, flash pattern and timing period that allows mariners to identify their navigational light 💡

Historically, sailors would match their light characteristic against navigational charts and figure out their exact location to avoid dangerous areas such as the precarious Naturaliste Reef 🚢 🪸

Keen to learn more fun facts? Join us this weekend at Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse and Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, as we celebrate International Lighthouse Weekend!

We’ll have amateur radio operators onsite, reaching out to other remote lighthouses around the world, local community activities and fundraising, tower climbs, and museum stories, all happening from 9:00am.

🎟️ We recommend booking lighthouse tower tours ahead of time via our link in bio. Grounds passes can be purchased on site.

Come down and say hello!

Meet Dizzy 👋🌿

Climbing specialist, outdoor instructor and all-round adventure enthusiast!

When she’s not helping visitors tackle the high ropes at Forest Adventures, Dizzy can be found leading school groups on outdoor adventures across WA - from abseiling in Karijini to sea kayaking around Ningaloo to abseiling in the Margaret River Region.

We’re pretty lucky to have someone on the team who loves adventure as much as Dizzy does. 💚

With recent mycelium networks sprouting across our Capes Foundation experiences, we've pulled together this handy guide of signs that you, in fact, might be fungi 🧐🍄

“These curious wonders that pop up and delight us in the cooler months are just a small part of the secret hidden world of fungal life that feeds and nurtures the Margaret River Region's forest all year round.” - follow the link to read ‘A mycotourist’s guide to spotting fungi on the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge.’

If it weren’t for the daring adventurers who entered the wind-hole entrance to Augusta's Jewel Cave back in 1957, we might never have had the chance to walk through its spectacular chambers ✨

Their curiosity opened a window into the underground world you can explore today, where sparkling crystal formations reveal thousands of years of natural growth and history.

Meet Kynan! 👋

When he’s not welcoming visitors to the Margaret River Region’s spectacular caves, you’ll find him soaking up the outdoors. Whether it’s the forest, the beach or a quiet place to pause and take a breath, nature is where he feels most at home. 🌊

If you see Kynan around one of our sites, be sure to say hello - just be prepared for one of his terrible jokes!

Majestic birds of prey, peaceful native bushland and plenty of photo-worthy moments at every turn.

From close encounters with owls, eagles and falcons to quiet walks through the forest, Capes Raptor Centre is a must-visit wildlife experience for nature lovers, families and photographers exploring the Margaret River Region.

Thanks for sharing these incredible photos from your visit, Hendrik Steytler.
