King Solomons Cave

King Solomons Cave is a limestone show cave within Mole Creek Karst National Park near Liena in northern Tasmania. Located on Caveside Road in the Meander Valley, it is one of two publicly accessible caves in the park. Notable for its extensive calcite formations, shawls, stalactites and stalagmites, the cave has been a guided tourist attraction since 1908 and is managed by the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service.

Visitors experience a guided tour through a compact limestone cave system with well-lit chambers displaying dense calcite formations including stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones and shawls. The cave is accessed via a visitor centre on Caveside Road surrounded by forested karst landscape. Tours follow formed paths with steps and handrails, with guides explaining geology and history. The interior is cool at around 9 degrees Celsius year-round. Photography without flash is typically permitted.

Discovered in 1906 and opened for public tours in 1908, King Solomons Cave is one of Tasmania's earliest developed show caves. It was developed with early electric lighting and pathways to showcase the Mole Creek karst system. The cave and surrounding karst were later incorporated into Mole Creek Karst National Park, gazetted in 1939, to protect the limestone cave systems and their geological heritage.

The cave is a significant example of Tasmania's karst geoheritage and forms part of the Mole Creek Karst National Park, valued for its natural heritage, education and long-standing nature-based tourism in northern Tasmania.
