Blanche Cave, Show cave in Naracoorte Caves National Park, South Australia.

Located at 86 meters elevation, Blanche Cave features limestone formations, including stalactites and stalagmites developed through natural processes over thousands of years.

European settlers discovered the cave in 1845, with Benjamin Sanders first encountering it while searching for missing sheep in the Naracoorte region.

The cave served as a venue for annual New Year's celebrations during the 1860s and participated in the Olympic torch relay for Sydney 2000.

Visitors can access the cave through scheduled guided tours that provide information about geological formations and natural features within the protected environment.

This heritage-listed cave contained mummified remains of an Indigenous person, which were taken without permission in 1861 and never returned to the site.
