Caves, Connawara and the Coorong describe the Limestone Coast. This southeast corner of South Australia
was once covered over by the Southern Ocean. Over the years, sediments from the ocean were deposited, and when the ocean receded what was left behind was a natural
honeycomb of caves which we know as World Heritage Naracoorte Caves. The rich soil of the Coonawarra wine district, the pristine wilderness, lagoons, and the waterways
of the Coorong which support more than 200 species of birds, and a beautiful coastline were also a result of the waters receding. If you come into this area, Mount Gambier has
a wonderful visitor bureau with great information.
