Abrakurrie Cave, Cave system in Nullarbor Plain, Western Australia.
Abrakurrie Cave is a large cave system in the Nullarbor Plain with multiple chambers and passages extending through the landscape. It features high ceilings and distinctive white boulder formations that appear as you move through the passages.
The cave was documented in 1935 when Captain J. M. Thompson recorded its dimensions and discovered additional passages within the system. This early exploration established the foundation for understanding this remote underground location.
Aboriginal hand stencils and imprints mark the cave walls, evidence of how Indigenous people used this space thousands of years ago. These artworks remain deep within the passages, telling of long human presence in this remote location.
Personal lighting is essential when exploring, as the cave passages remain dark and offer no natural light once inside. The location is remote, so visitors should prepare appropriately and check conditions before planning a visit.
The main chamber sits about 70 meters below ground and is accessed through a natural slope from the entrance, allowing a relatively easy descent. This depth combined with gentle access is unusual for caves in the region, making exploration possible without specialized equipment.
