All About

Cave Garden

Highlights

Cave Garden is a picturesque free bucket list attraction located in the heart of Mount Gambier, in South Australia. Situated in the centre of the city, the Cave Garden features a sinkhole that was the original source of water for the early settlers. Its beauty and significance can be appreciated from the viewing platforms which hang dramatically over the sinkhole.

A bonus in wet weather is the spectacular waterfall. Every evening a spectacular Evening Light Show tells our Aboriginal Dreamtime stories. Best viewed down in the cave, times vary due to season and daylight savings. Beautiful roses are a stunning feature of the famous Cave Garden, a state heritage area. With its historic garden flowing deep into the sinkhole, this area is a great meeting place for locals.
