Limestone Coast Heartland
The Limestone Coast is one of the most diverse regions in Australia, with visitors able to experience lush farmland, spectacular caves, captivating wilderness, and vistas of vineyards often only minutes apart.
The inland route roughly begins at the aptly-names Tatiara, which is an Aboriginal word for "Good Country", and the townships of Keith, Bordertown, Mundulla, Wolseley, Willalooka and Padthaway certainly live up to the district's name.
Towards the coast from Naracoorte, the township of Lucindale is home to the famous South East Field Days, which showcase all the good things the Limestone Coast has to offer.
Heading further south beyond the tall pine plantations, Millicent is not only an important business centre, but home to a unique range of visitor experiences including the award-winning Living History Museum and Millicent Art Gallery. The town is also the hub of the pine industry, with surrounding pine forests stretching to the nearby townships of Tantanoola, Nangwarry and Mount Burr.
Further inland, Penola has gained prominence for famous forebears such as poet John Shaw Neilson and blessed Mary Mackillop, along with its proximity to nearby Coonawarra and the strong efforts to conserve the local buildings.
