MOLE
CREEK:
The
Mole
Creek
Karst
National
Park contains
more
than
200
caves,
which
began
to
form
about
30
million
years
ago.
With
a
guide
you
can
tour
some
of
the
caves
and
see
animals
that
dwell
in
the
dark,
stalagmites
that
soar
to
lofty
roofs,
streams
that
disappear
into
the
ground,
glow-worms
that
twinkle
like
stars
in
this
underground
wonderland.
When
you’ve
toured
the
caves
take
some
time
to
walk
through
the
beautiful
forests
in
the
national
park,
and
reflect
on
the
wonders
beneath
the
ground
you’re
walking
on.
