Abrakurrie Cave

Abrakurrie Cave is a wild cave on the Nullarbor Plain in Western Australia. It is located about 48 km north west of Eucla and is reported to have the largest single cave chamber in the southern hemisphere. The stencils in the cave are the deepest penetration of Aboriginal art of any cave system in Australia.

Exploration
Visits to the cave occurred as early as the 1880s.

The cave was explored by an expedition led by Captain J. M. Thompson in 1935. The explorers described a cave that was 1200 ft in length, 160 ft wide and 150 ft deep. After progressing a further 250 ft the group found the passage forked into two passages one of which continued a further 1500 ft leading to a huge cavern.

Photographs of the cave were published after the 1935 expedition.

It was a well documented cave by the 1960s.
