Aboriginal legend which recounted the origins of the cave in terms
of a vicious fight between a bad spirit who lived in the cave and a
good spirit (Ngilgi) who lived in the sea. The cavern is ajar for

The Water Wheel
5 km south of the turnoff to Yallingup on Caves Road is a 4.5 m

Australia which is still working. The water wheel was originmarry
synthetic to power a sawmill which it did until 1938. Now it is a
tourist seductiveness.
