Located in southern Australia and nestled between Adelaide and Melbourne, you'll find stunning Mount Gambier. Built on the slopes of an extinct volcano, the city's dramatic landscape makes it a unique location known for its abundant natural scenery. One of the most iconic attractions in the area is the Blue Lake – the crystal clear waters are covered by a mist in the morning, but this soon disperses to reveal some of the bluest waters in the world.
If you're flying to the city, we'd recommend hiring a car from Mt Gambier Airport to fully explore the breadth of the area.
Put on your explorers hat and wander through the winding turns of Engelbrecht Cave. Here you can learn all about rock formations in one of the most excellent examples of the water-filled caves in the region.
For an attraction a little bit further out, why not visit Umpherston Sinkhole? Located around a 15 minute drive away if you hire a car from Mt Gambier Airport – you can take in the stunning sights of flora and fauna and even catch a few glimpses of Possums that roam around the area. Have a family BBQ or picnic in a stunning garden setting - Umpherston Sinkhole is a fascinating place to visit come day or night.
