As entertaining as the wildlife sanctuary was, we weren't done exploring. It was nearing lunch time, so we drove a little further down the road to the Marakoopa Cave visitor centre to book our tickets for an afternoon tour. With that taken care of, we had some lunch (with about 100 march flies) and did the short rainforest walk that tracks along Marakoopa Creek.
Marakoopa Cave is nowhere near as spectacular as some of the caves we have been to closer to home in the south west of Western Australia, but that didn't mean we didn't enjoy the cave tour because, like most limestone caves, it had it's own unique character.
The dominating features of this particular cave system are the many very fine straws hanging from the ceiling and lots of water.
Other types of structures like curtains and terraces also adorn the caverns.
As you exit the cave, you are greeted by a lush green rainforest.
From the cave, we drove north to Devonport, were we would be based for the next couple of days. We had a well kitted out cabin in a caravan park, right on the shore of Bass Strait.
