Visiting Mount Gambier Cave Gardens & Environs State Heritage Area

Cave Gardens, Mount Gambier
Cave Gardens, Mount Gambier

This relatively small State Heritage Area is the centrepiece of the City of Mount Gambier, and is located within the town's busy commercial and civic area. The Cave and the surrounding Reserve are a 'must-see' for tourists and other visitors, but are also important recreational spaces for local workers or shoppers. An interpretive display at the entrance to the Cave Gardens provides information about the history and geology of this site.
