Limestone Coast

The Limestone Coast region reaches south down the coast from the Coorong National Park to the Victorian border, and inland through farming country to the famous Coonawarra wine region – perfectly located in the middle of the Adelaide to Melbourne touring route. The size of this region gives you the opportunity to experience more than one holiday at a time. Stay a weekend in one spot or stay a while and experience all that it has to offer.

Lush pastures dotted with towering gum trees, immaculate vineyards, sweeping expanses of coast and parallel pine plantations line the way as one drives among the region's pretty country towns. Visitors can follow the Limestone Coast Wine & Food Trail, try the world-beating rich red wines of Coonawarra or visit the spectacular Naracoorte Caves, where huge fossils have proven the existence of massive prehistoric mammals.

While the coast is famous for its red rock lobster, Mt Gambier's Blue Lake is renowned for mysteriously turning turquoise every summer. Migratory birds that have flown from as far away as Siberia can be seen at the Coorong National Park. The Limestone Coast is a scene of alluring beauty, changing colour, thriving contrasts, wild coastlines, unique wetlands, underground wonders and welcoming locals.
