Perth 2010: Lake Cave

Lake Cave is believed to be the most beautiful cave of Australia. Jiejie was told about going into a cave, and I prepared her by walking her through the gallery about limestones while waiting for our tour time to be called. She seemed enthused.

While waiting and having a cup of coffee in Lake Cave Tearooms, we were very much welcomed by the bush flies. Jiejie got annoyed totally, almost wanted to fight with them. We had a chat with the waiter (or the boss him self?) from the cafe and being introduced the Australian wave to sway the flies.

She was pleased then... until the tour started. With a walk through a wooden staircase of 350 steps to access to the bottom of the doline, she began to look unpleasant...

Once we were in the doline, the tour guide gave us the history, geology, and the "Do and Don't" about the Cave. Inside the cave is huge cave lake which is crossed on wooden planks with a handrail on one side.

Lake Cave is famous for its treasured formation, the "Suspended Table".

Different lights show different beauties and we gets a taste of sitting in the underground darkness.

What did I learn? Stalactites and Stalagmites.

and straw too

By the end of the tour, timid Jiejie can't wait to get out of the darkness.

It was very cooling inside the doline. I didn't feel too exhausted to climb the staircase up. Little Bomber was dozing away throughout the tour... gave me such a good time to enjoy the tour.

It was great to have a work out and an informative visit at the same time.
