  • 20 years ago, I visited Cave Garden and I went on a free-of-charge guided tour (by a visitor info centre or Council volunteer/employee) of the below ground cave system. There were illuminated timber stairs and platforms below ground. Do these tours and/or underground access to the actual cave exist and if so, where do I find information on the internet please? All I can find is information on the viewing platforms at ground level and the nightly light show.

    • Hi Peter,

      Thanks for bringing to my attention that this was once a thing.

      I visited Mt Gambier 3 times late last year and have been going there quite frequently since i was a child, and even by running this website now for over 8 years, researching all of the different activity options online and frequently visiting the Lady Nelson Visitor Centre and grabbing all of their tourist brochures, I haven’t seen a mention of an underground tour of the cave gardens.

      I have also done a quick search then and couldn’t find anything either. With the development of the area surrounding the cave gardens over the years, my guess is that they may have had to close this down as a result.

      Feel free to give the visitor centre a call on (08) 8724 9750 to get a definitive answer, but i would be curious if such a thing still exists.

      Thanks
      Michael
