Welcome to new travel horizons in
the South East of South Australia - The Limestone Coast 
Look below the surface
and the Limestone Coast reveals its buried treasures.
Like ‘terra rossa’ topsoil. It is said this shallow layer of red earth is
the reason the Coonawarra’s wines are so exceptional. There are more than 20
cellar doors along this narrow 14 x 2 kilometre strip.
In fact the region is dotted with
laces where one can disappear and they often make a great base for
day trips.
The Naracoorte Caves are
another underground treasure. Above ground, Naracoorte’s Sheep's Back
Museum tells the story of the wool industry.
The Limestone Coast has a rich
pioneering history - Visit Penola’s Mary MacKillop Interpretive Centre to learn about
the woman who’ll be Australia’s first saint.
The charming fishing village of Robe is a
perfect weekend getaway and a drive along
the coast to Kingston SE could see you
tucking into its famous rock lobster for
lunch. In Mount Gambier an excellent guided
tour will take you right down to the famous
volcanic crater lake that turns
a startling turquoise each November.
A guided tour of the
remarkable Coorong
National Park will help
you to identify the many
shore bird species that
migrate to this sea of
shallow, linked lagoons
that lie sheltered behind
sand dunes.
