Mole Creek Karst National Park
Mole Creek Karst National Park, Nature reserve in Tasmania, Australia
Mole Creek Karst National Park is a nature reserve in Tasmania with over 300 caves set in limestone bedrock. These underground systems contain flowing streams, hanging stalactites, rising stalagmites, and naturally formed stone columns.
The area was originally inhabited by Aboriginal peoples who established trade routes before becoming an official national park in 1939. This transition marked a shift from traditional land to a protected space accessible to the public.
Local guides share knowledge about the rock formations and natural processes as visitors walk through the underground passages. These tours connect people with the geological story of the landscape in a hands-on way.
To visit the caves, book a tour in advance and bring a park pass with you. The spring and autumn months offer the most comfortable conditions underground, where temperatures stay cool and steady.
Marakoopa Cave holds one of the largest glow-worm populations found in any publicly accessible Australian cave. These small luminescent insects create a soft, natural light display that fills the underground chambers in the darkness.
