AustraliaThe Tarragal Caves are a network of limestone caves and rock shelters overlooking the Bridgewater Lakes near Cape Bridgewater, Victoria, Australia. Excavations in the late 1970s by Harry Lourandos revealed stratified deposits dating to 11,300 years ago, along with shell midden deposits and earth ovens over 11,000 years old. The caves were important Aboriginal camping places, and pollen analysis of cave sediments has helped reconstruct the Pleistocene climate and environment of the region.
