Jingemia Cave is located 5.6 kilometres north of Watheroo along the Midlands Road, then 5 kilometres along Eagle Hill Road, a gravel road suitable for most vehicles. Jingemia Cave is a 61 metre diameter collapsed Noondine Chert (mid Proterozoic) doline (collapsed roof) with 26 metre cliffs. Chert is the end product of silification of carbonate rock and it appears along the fault line from Moora to Three Springs. Approximately 20,000 tonnes of Guano (bat poo) for fertiliser was mined here in the early 1900’s.
Take care if you venture down into the cave and also if you walk around the top, the rocks are loose and the drop is steep. From the high point you can take in the spectacular views across the Watheroo National Park. The add on route follows a loose gravel firebreak track south west through the bush to farmland on the southern boundary.

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
