In the heart of South Australia's Limestone Coast, between Adelaide and Melbourne, lies the Naracoorte Lucindale district, a hidden gem with a variety of attractions and activities for visitors to enjoy. One of the main attractions in this area is the World Heritage-listed Naracoorte Caves, which preserve Australia's most complete marsupial fossil record. These caves are a significant site for learning about prehistoric history and offer a unique and educational experience.
Naracoorte is also known for its natural attractions, such as the Bool Lagoon, a Ramsar Wetland of International Significance, which is home to a diverse range of wildlife and serves as an essential refuge for birds. Visitors can enjoy the picturesque scenery and listen for the creatures of the wetlands as they walk along the boardwalk over the wetlands. For those interested in culture and history, the Sheep's Back Wool Museum and the Naracoorte Art Gallery are must-visit attractions. The Sheep's Back Wool Museum provides insights into the wool industry and sheep farming, while the Naracoorte Art Gallery, the first regional art gallery in South Australia, showcases local art and artists.
Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the Naracoorte Creek Walk, which offers a tranquil and scenic walk through the town's natural surroundings. The Black Cockatoo Bush Camp Hiking Trails provide an opportunity for more adventurous activities, such as hiking and bushwalking. In addition to these attractions, visitors can enjoy a round of golf at Naracoorte's 18-hole, fully watered golf course, which is included in Golf Australia's Top 100 public access golf courses.
