Knowles is just one of the many caves in this karst
limestone environment, however Knowles is a worthy visit as it is one of the more accessible caves in the entire region and will give you a good sense of the what lies beneath the seemingly empty barren plains. Many of
the caves on the Nullarbor are very dangerous and impossible to access without permits and specialised caving and abseiling equipment. Knowles
Cave however is an easy walk-in, being an elongated doline. The whole Nullarbor is one giant piece of
limestone and anywhere that you can find a bit of
limestone you will find karsts. At Knowles
Cave, you will easily see these karsts, which appear to have fossilised marine life trapped within. Embedded into the rocky entrance to the
cave look out for shells locked into
the rock, along with imprints where the
shell used to be.
This
cave is named after the Great Grandfather of a site visitor who has offered to provide anyone with more information should they be interested. Megan says, "Keith Vivian Knowles discovered this
cave with Captain Maitland Thompson".
