Mount Gambier

Located atop an ancient volcano, Mount Gambier is a geological hotspot. Coming in as the second largest city in South Australia, this place is loaded with opportunities to make memories.

A day at Kilsby Sinkhole is a one of a kind experience. With gin tasting, scuba diving and site tours of this jaw-dropping natural phenomenon, Kilsby Sinkhole is an adventure waiting to be had. For those who don't like the idea of cave diving, visit the ancient Tantanoola Caves, where the water has long since gone from this prehistoric marine cliff.

It wouldn't be a trip to Mount Gambier without seeing the legendary Blue Lake. Sitting in the extinct craters of the volcano, this lake draws thousands of visitors each year. The bright cobalt colour turns to a metallic grey at differing parts of the year and is truly spellbinding.

Nature lovers will be inspired by a visit to Umpherston Sinkhole. Originally a cave, this fascinating geological site features vines hanging down its sides and a lush sunken garden down below. Resident possums appear at dusk and visitors can feed them fresh fruit.
