Information

Access to the cave is now not possible as the gate is locked and there is no sign of a ladder under the gate. There are surveillance cameras in operation, connected via a Starlink wifi network, presumably providing realtime monitoring. The cave is still worth a visit, although it is a bit difficult to see into the depths. There’s a picnic table in the sun and stairs down to the lower (old?) car park area.The station has been long abandoned due to dingo's. Dingo fence is to the east of Koonalda.
