Capes Foundation A not-for-profit sharing and sustaining eight extraordinary nature and heritage experiences in the Margaret River Region.

07/10/2026

Recently the Capes Foundation Conservation team, in collaboration with scientists from Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, started an eco-hydrology project in the Boranup Forest. We are excited to be combining our boots-on-the-ground experience and scientific expertise!
 
Hydrology is the study of water: how it moves, where it is stored, and how it interacts with landscapes and ecosystems. In our cave systems, hydrological research helps explain the relationship between rainfall, groundwater, catchments, and underground environments. 
 
The data we are collecting isn’t just for now - it will support scientists of the future and guide efforts to preserve aquatic ecosystems.

Fancy a game of wildflower bingo? There’s plenty to spot on the journey through the forest on the return trail from Mammoth Cave Margaret River 🌼 🐝

You can even grab one of the new wildflower identification booklets we’ve got stocked up at the ticket shops across our experiences and discover all the names of your favourite South West flora.

Massive thanks to local author and wildflower expert Jane Scott and Nature Conservation for pulling this handy Margaret River Region guide together 🫶

Trying to get that step count up this spring? 👣
The wildflowers are out across the Margaret River Region, whales are cruising past Cape Naturaliste, and the forest is calling. Whether you're after a gentle forest stroll or a breezy clifftop walk, there's no better season to explore the trails around our experiences 🌸

POV: It’s been 20 years since your last visit to Capes Raptor Centre. A lot has changed! 🦅

Follow the Bird of Prey Trail, a peaceful bushland walk where you’ll encounter eagles, hawks, falcons and owls cared for at the sanctuary. Discover new trail features along the way, exploring raptor species and behaviour alongside Wadandi cultural connections, the six seasons and seasonal changes on Country.

Then it’s time for the flight display! Watch hawks and owls soar through the flight arena while learning about the unique behaviours, hunting adaptations and sensory abilities that make them remarkable predators.
Flight displays run twice daily at 11am and 2pm. Complete the self-guided trail in your own time, before or after the show.

It's International Day of Caves and Karst. A day all about celebrating and protecting these fragile underground worlds - these unique landscapes actually cover nearly a quarter of Earth's land surface! 🌍🌿

Beneath the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge in the Margaret River Region lies a hidden world, shaped over a million years.
