Exit Cave, Tasmania is a large multi entrance cave near Ida bay in southern Tasmania.[1]

The cave is one of a number of caves along the D’Entrecasteaux River, and the system has a number of sump. It is a candidate for the longest cave in Australia. Another contender for this title is[2] Bullita Cave in the NT although as the cave remains not fully mapped there is no certainty which cave holds the record.
