St Michaels Cave, Cave entrance at Avalon Beach, Australia.
The sandstone cave extends 110 meters in length, reaches 15 meters in height, and spans 10 meters across the entrance at North Avalon headland.
Archpriest Joseph Therry received this land in an 1833 grant, intending to construct a chapel within the cave or on the cliffs above.
During the 19th century, families traveled by steamer to participate in excursions that included dancing, dining, and exploring the cave structure.
Access to the cave requires permission due to safety concerns, as the surrounding cliffs and paths present risks from falling rocks.
The internal cave formations include a volcanic dyke, while the space serves as a breeding location for Common bent-wing and Large-eared pied bats.
