Murrawijinie Cave
Location	Nullarbor, South Australia, Australia
Coordinates	31°21′52″S 130°52′30″E[1]
Entrances	3

This cave^[2] is open to the public but safety precautions should be taken before driving off the Eyre Highway. The entry is approximately 10 kilometres (6 mi) north of the Nullarbor Roadhouse along a rough track.^[3]

Primarily, entry is accessed via doline (sinkhole); another two entrances are close by, which is typical of the Nullarbor's karst topography. Hawks and swallows use the caves as nesting sites.^[3]

One of the entrances has hand stencils on the walls drawn in ochre by Indigenous Australians.^[4]

Since June 2013, the cave has been in the protected area known as the Nullarbor Wilderness Protection Area.^[5]
