About Caiguna Blowholes
Caiguna Blowholes are natural limestone blowholes located south of the Eyre Highway near Caiguna in the Shire of Dundas, Western Australia, on the Nullarbor Plain. Formed in the vast Nullarbor limestone, the blowholes vent air with changes in atmospheric pressure, creating a distinctive blowing sound. The site is a popular roadside stop for travellers crossing the Eyre Highway between Norseman and Eucla, offering insight into the region's karst geology and remote outback landscape.
