Marakoopa Cave is a limestone cave in Mole Creek Karst National Park, north-west Tasmania. Mole Creek Karst National Park is a 40 minute drive west of Deloraine.
The Mole Creek Karst National Park includes some of Tasmania’s most visited cave systems, including Marakoopa and King Solomons Cave, two of over 300 known caves and sinkholes in the area.
A stalactite is a deposit of calcium carbonate which hangs from the ceiling or wall of a limestone cave and is formed by the dripping of mineralized solutions. The term “stalactite” is derived from the Greek meaning to fall in drops.
