Marakoopa Cave Reopens After Six Weeks

Marakoopa Cave at the Mole Creek Karst National Park has been closed six weeks ago, after a rock fall near the entrance took place. Wet weather caused the rock fall and was also responsible for the delay of the repair work.

Trained staff has been working on ropes to check the stability of rocks on the cliff face above the cave entrance, which is 50m wide and up to 150m high. Loose rocks were dislodged and so the problem is solved and the cave was now reopened.
