Princess Margaret Rose Cave, Show cave in Lower Glenelg National Park, Victoria, Australia.
The Princess Margaret Rose Cave contains limestone formations with stalactites, stalagmites, and helictites scattered throughout its underground chambers.
Keith McEachern and Jack Hutchesson discovered the cave in September 1936, initially accessing it through a 50-foot vertical shaft using ropes.
The cave received its name after Nancy Hutchesson wrote to Buckingham Palace in 1939 requesting permission to name it after Princess Margaret Rose.
The cave maintains consistent temperatures year-round and requires visitors to wear appropriate footwear for navigating the uneven terrain during guided tours.
The cave formations developed in Tertiary limestone deposits from a shallow sea during the Oligocene and Miocene periods, spanning 35 to 15 million years ago.
