Warreen Cave

Warreen Cave is a large and remote cave in a dolomite cliff on top of a limestone outcrop situated in the upper Maxwell River Valley, 500 meters from the Lancelot Rivulet. It has an altitude of 200 meters, about 20 meters above the floor of the valley. The cave is about 30 kilometers from Strathgordon, the nearest town. It was originally known as M86/2, but was renamed to 'Warreen', meaning 'wombat' in the local indigenous Tasmanian language. The cave is the oldest site of known human settlement in Tasmania, at 35,000 years ago.
