REGION: Limestone Coast

birdlife.jpg

The Limestone Coast, in the south-east corner of South Australia, is rich in natural attractions, with an arc of beaches and lobster-fishing ports stretching along the coastline to the Victorian border. The region, which centres on Mount Gambier, is named after its incomparable concentration of limestone craters, caves and cliffs, and offers visitors a range of activities and attractions in a spectacular natural setting.

Volcanic activity sculpted the landscape, with the Crater Lakes among its most stunning natural attractions.

Inland, the World Heritage-listed Naracoorte Caves is a major fossil cave system - re-creations of prehistoric mammals, that once inhabitated the caves, are displayed at Wonambi Fossil Centre. Limestone also gives the famous Coonawarra its terra rossa soil.
