About this rest area

Tantanoola Cave Conservation Park, located in South Australia, is home to a stunning, highly decorated cavern discovered in the 1930s. The park is notable for its visually impressive pink and brown dolomite cliffs, and the unique cave beneath it, filled with fascinating geological formations. Offering an inclusive experience for all, it is the only cave in the region providing accessibility for wheelchair users. Managed by SA National Parks & Wildlife, the park offers visitors an opportunity to delve into nature's underground marvels.

The cave was discovered in 1930 by a local boy who was hunting rabbits. When his ferret disappeared down a hole and did not emerge, the boy went and got his brother and together they found the cave. Tantanoola Caves Conservation Park is operated by the SA National Parks & Wildlife. It is the only wheelchair accessible cave in the region.
