Caiguna Blowhole Rest Area
The Caiguna Blowhole Rest Area offers an intriguing ecological experience set within the expansive Nullarbor, the world's largest karst landscape. Through small cave entrances, visitors can detect a unique phenomenon: varying air pressure that causes noticeable airflow into or out of the caves. Due to minimal annual rainfall, the limestone weathering process is incredibly slow, preserving the vast cave systems. The Rest Area has basic amenities and ample space for most vehicles, making it an interesting stop on any journey through the impressive Nullarbor region.
