Mt Gambier, Robe, Beachport, Port MacDonnell
The south east includes beautiful seaside towns and world heritage listed areas such as Canunda and Cooring National Parks and the magnificent Naracoorte Caves. The European influence in this area can be seen in the towns of Robe, Beachport and Port MacDonnell with quaint harbours and sandy beaches where you can enjoy numerous water activities. Lake Eliza, Lake St Clair and Lake George lie along the coastal area and further south at Carpenters Rocks you can tour along scenic walkways to visit the most southerly port in South Australia, Port MacDonnell. This town is a busy base for a large lobster fleet and with the sounds of the bells on nearby trawlers and cosy whitewashed stone cottages the nostalgia of times past is ever present.
Inland at Mt Gambier you can visit the
world renowned Blue Lake which rests in a volcanic crater and during
the seasons of spring and summer the water reflects a mysterious
irredescent blue colour. There are many limestone caves and sink
holes which formed the sub structure of this region and around Mt Gambier
you will find several caves worth visiting. The most accessible is Cave
Gardens which is located in the centre of town.
