This rock is in Macona Inlet on Hook Island in The Whitsunday Group."

Entry #3

"Visitors stand at the entrance of this enormous limestone cave situated in a World Heritage area.
Formed by the action of acidic water on limestone, the resultant mineral solution is
often re-deposited to form stalactites and stalagmites, as has occurred here on a gigantic
scale with stunning results."
