Geological wonders abound in Mount Gambier, the heart of the Limestone Coast and second largest town in South Australia. Discover the dazzling sapphire waters of the famed Blue Lake and explore an underground garden of Eden at Umpherston Sinkhole.
Wander down streets dotted with impressive heritage buildings and explore a plethora of shops, cafes and restaurants, while just beyond the town you’ll find day-trip destinations like Robe, Penola and Coonawarra.
The mountain from which it takes its name, Mt Gambier, is in fact Australia's youngest volcano and the volcanic activity over time helped form the unique geological features of the region.
