Rock formation within King Solomons Cave near Liena in Northern Tasmania, Australia

---

King Solomons Cave is a relatively small, dry cave located near Liena, 25 km west of Mole Creek, on the route to Cradle Mountain. King Solomons Cave is also home to the fascinating Tasmanian Cave spider. The name of the cave was derived from the abundance of reflective calcite crystals, making it sparkle like the fabled treasures of King Solomon’s mines.
