Morley’s Creek Karst National Park

Morley’s Creek Karst National Park

Morley’s Creek Karst National Park is located in Tasmania, Australia, to the northwest of Hobart, 168 kilometers from the city. Established in 1996, it covers an area of 13.45 square kilometers and is the only national park in Tasmania created specifically to protect cave systems.

Part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, Morley’s Creek Karst National Park consists of more than 300 caves, making it Australia’s largest cave-focused national park. As the state’s only underground national park, it offers visitors the chance to admire natural stalactites and stalagmites formed over 300,000 years. The park’s standout features are its underground rivers and pools, which can be explored by boat. Under the glow of lights, these sights become even more enchanting, and viewing them from different angles reveals unexpected wonders that amaze at every turn.

In addition to stalactites and stalagmites, visitors can also see glowworms. Attentive guides will turn off the lighting system so you can enjoy the breathtaking sight of thousands of glowworms lighting up the cave.
