An easy three to five hour drive from
Adelaide, the Limestone Coast region was formed when millions of years of marine sediments were deposited by the waters of the Southern Ocean.
Today it is this limestone bedrock that is responsible for many of the Limestone Coast's unique features, including the honeycomb system of caves (some layered with fossils of Australia's mega-fauna), the finely filtered aquifers which surface at
Mount Gambier's mysterious Blue Lake, and the rich terra rossa soil which is credited with the success of the
Coonawarra wine industry, renowned internationally for its red and white wines.
For the visitor, the Limestone Coast also offers uncrowded beaches and fishing towns and vast pine forests. The towns of
Naracoorte,
Penola and
Robe have strong historic bonds, Coorong National Park is recognized for its Ngarrindjeri culture and for its migratory bird populations.
