Limestone Coast Family Holidays
The adventure coast
Have you ever seen a white kangaroo? What about a Big Lobster? A lake that changes colour with the seasons? A Land Rover on a pole? They're all on the Limestone Coast, where your family will love its holiday.
Create lifelong memories by the water. Go swimming, boating, canoeing, sailing, diving, snorkelling, waterskiing, fishing or just relaxing! There are safe, sheltered bays along the coast and lots of swimming lakes, like the one in Naracoorte.
Natural wonders
For something extraordinary, the Pool of Siloam near Beachport is seven times saltier than the sea. Even if you can’t swim, you’ll float!
It’s not just grown-ups who’ll appreciate the region’s unique geography. Kids can explore the petrified forest in Port MacDonnell and the stunning maze of underground caves at Naracoorte. Nestled in the crater of a dormant volcano, everybody loves Mount Gambier's fascinating Blue Lake. The water colour depends on the time of year.
Go wild
Feed the hungry possums at the Umpherston Sinkhole, also known as The Sunken Garden. Visit the Bordertown Wildlife Park and marvel at the only known captive colony of white kangaroos. At dusk, head to Port MacDonnell and watch the colony of little penguins return home from a hard day’s work in the sea.
Meet Larry
At Kingston South East, cross another thing off your “big things” list. Larry “the Big Lobster,” is 17 metres tall and weighs approximately four tonnes. He’s easily the world’s most photographed lobster.
The Limestone Coast, great family fun.
Full of surprises
“Take a break” in Bordertown’s original jail cells! Learn more about the region’s history in Millicent. Visit the National Trust Museum and the Port MacDonnell and District Maritime Museum. The Sheep's Back in Naracoorte is full of the sights and smells of the shearing shed.
