Cocklebiddy Cave is one of the Nullarbor’s most famous cave. It has been closed to the general public since the early 2010s because of unstable rock at the entrance.
The Nullarbor ‘karst’ is the largest arid area of limestone in the world. It has many thousands of caves.
The roof of Cocklebidy Cave collapsed an indeterminate time ago, revealing a system of massive underground caverns and more than six kilometres of underwater passages. The entrance to the cave is an perfect example of a collapsed ‘doline’.
