The anciently decorated Koonalda Cave is the name given to a karst limestone cave
hidden deep beneath the dry and desolate area called the Nullarbor Plain in the middle south of the continent of Australia.
The dry arid desert climate normally ranges between 35-40 degrees centigrade, or 95-104 degrees fahrenheit; it can reach 50 degrees C (122 degrees F) on some of the hottest days.
The cave extends 60 meters deep beneath the arid plain where you can find a cool underground lake; and on its muddy walls are human finger-marks which were placed there nearly 20,000 years ago.
