Great experience, but not for the feint heqrted.

Lots of bees around the cave but once gouget inside it was really rewarding to explore. I found a family of bats deep insidethe cave, they were peaceful if not disturbed. My advice: Bring more than one torch, and move slowly outside the cave. Some bees may get curious and land on you, but as long as you stay still they will eventually leave you alone without stinging you.

Drovers Cave is a No-Go! Photos here are not of Drovers Cave!
Dec 2020
These Photos are of NOT of Drovers cave !!! You will end up bogged on a bad soft lonely tack if you navigate to Drovers Cave!

These photos are of Stockyard Gully Cave. 40km further north of Jurien Bay. Stockyard Gully Cave is well worth the visit 4x4 only

We loved it.
Apr 2022
We initially missed this turn off from the main sealed road. It is a very hairy 4wd track and the first 2km is very boggy sand (yes, we did get bogged). The track changes from wide and sandy, to narrow with rocks and close trees (our 4wd did get scratched - adding to the scratches already there :-)).
It wasn't too hot (around 25) and the bees were fine. We found the bees didn't come into the cave.
A colony of bats on the ceiling - could hear them squeaking. A kangaroo skeleton near the entrance. The bee combs are amazing.
If you are experienced with 4wdriving, I'd recommend it.

A cave
Mar 2023 • Couples
More info was required. All we had to go on was the fact it existed. Map took us to Guano Cave. 4wd track. If you come in off Jurien Road then you will need to deflate your tyres. Narrow track lots of scrub. Cave itself accessible by experienced people. Mind the swarms of feral bees. They block the entrance to the cave so we couldn’t venture in

Was really cool
Nov 2020 • Family
Been to Margs and seen the caves down there, which are pretty impressive .
But this cave at Drovers National Park, situated in the middle of the scrub ,is something different.
You can walk right through the cave a couple of hundred meters and there’s no lighting, it’s pitch black . Take a torch or use your phone torch. The road in is a 4 wheel drive only , we took the south entrance. Easy peasy. The cave has a sandy bottom and looks like in winter it is possibly a river bed. It was pretty cool , had a few hidey holes in there . If you are scared of the dark , I recommend don’t go in .

Bee careful in the caves
Nov 2020
Not in the normal map book but good log Google took us straight to the sand road, the sign is about 50 metres in, not visible from the road. Soft sand trail is suitable only for four wheel drive vehicles, no need to let your tyres down. No signs for the caves look for the taller trees and side roads. There were thousands of bees (not aggressive) and heaps of hives quite spectacular besides a little graffiti the caves are pristine. A good couple of hours in the bush.

Read this if you want to actually find the cave!
Jan 2018 • Family
This cave is gorgeous and worth finding. It is not actually in the Drovers Cave National Park! We spent a long time trying to find it today. Drovers Cave National Park has a lot of very boggy, sandy tracks. The cave is NOT THERE! The cave in these photos is called " stockyard Gully Caves" in google maps and is in Stockyard Gully Reserve. I don't know if there is another cave in Drovers Cave National Park that we didn't find, but these pictures & the info about the bees is for the stockyard Gully Caves. Really cool. You NEED a torch - its pitch black! Access also needs a 4WD.

Where is it?
Dec 2015 • Family
We drove around for about 100km to try and find the caves. No signs to indicate the turn off. No tourist attraction signs. We gave up.

One of the few public cave in WA.
Sep 2016 • Family
We learnt about the caves from the Jurien Bay visitor centre. However we were not prepared as we did not have sufficient torchlight and waterproof shoes. However we still managed to take a quick hike to the entrance of the cave.

Very nice and relaxing walk with the small river running the middle of the track. Armed with my 8 month old son strapped at the front, we managed to scale some low limestone rock due to the route being submerged under water.

Nonetheless it was fun and exciting.
