Cave Hill Nature Reserve is a massive granite outcrop with cave-like formations on its western side, comparable to the famous Wave Rock near Hyden.

| CAVE HILL ENTRANCE |
Granite slab walls were built on the rock to channel water into two main dams and a couple of smaller waterholes to be used by workers in the mining industry during 1928 - 1938.
The large dam supplied water for the settlement and the smaller dams supplied water for the steam trains. The smaller dams are now permanent water supplies for the birds and local wildlife which can often be seen coming in to drink in the early morning or late afternoon.

This is an isolated recreation area with camping and picnic areas around the rock, making it an ideal place to escape into the bush for a quiet break. Lots of interesting things to see and do such as yabby fishing, swimming, rock climbing, wildlife and exploring the surrounds and the old train woodline to Burra Rock via a 38km 4WD track.
No pets are allowed.
Best time to go would be around Mid March through to November.
To the best of my memory there are no fees but that could have change since our last visit.
Best suitable for tents, camper-trailers and smaller 4x4 RV's.
