The Tower traces its construction back to 1904 and is the highest point in the town. From the tower, visitors can catch panoramic views of the coastal city as well as the expansive crater lakes that dot the landscape.
From the tower, visitors should take a short trip to visit the Crater Lakes which consist of three lakes: Leg of Mutton Crater Lake, Blue Lake Crater and Valley Lake Crater. Of the three, the latter is the most popular with excellent facilities for travellers to relax and unwind.
A tour to Mount Gambier would feel incomplete without a visit to The Cave Garden, famed for its great picnic grounds and amazing shows at dusk. This coastal city offers more than just a getaway, it makes for great memories!
What are the best beaches for swimming with children? Are they manned by lifeguards?
Hi Karly,
Head to Woolwash swimming beach near Port Macdonnell. This is a popular swimming beach which also has BBQs and toilets nearby, however the beach is not manned by lifeguards.
Kind regards,
Jess
