Mount Etna Caves National Park, Nature reserve with limestone caves in Livingstone Shire, Australia.

Mount Etna Caves National Park protects a limestone hill 26 km north of Rockhampton whose interior holds karst caves and rock ledges. The limestone began as coral reefs in a shallow sea, and the caves were later cut by water; the western side once held a limestone mine. The Archer brothers, settlers near Rockhampton in the 1850s, named the hill after Mount Etna in Sicily.

The park was gazetted in 1973 as Fitzroy Caves National Park, primarily to protect the bats rather than the caves. It was renamed Mount Etna Caves National Park in 1990, and in 1999 it was extended to give the caves more protection. The name Mount Etna was given by the Archer brothers, settlers near Rockhampton in the 1850s, after the volcano in Sicily.

The name Mount Etna comes from the Archer brothers, settlers near Rockhampton in the 1850s, who named the hill after Sicily's Etna. From 1914 to 1939 guano was mined from the caves, and from 1925 limestone was quarried as well. During World War II Australian Army commandos trained here.

Free guided cave tours are available to visitors, and marked walking trails lead through the reserve. The cooler months offer more comfortable conditions for exploring both the underground passages and the woodland areas above.

The caves shelter more than 80 percent of Australia's breeding population of little bent-wing bats; in summer the colony numbers about 100,000 females. The park is also one of the few Australian sites where the endangered ghost bat can be seen. Access to some caves is closed to protect the animals.
