The rich landscape is characterised by dramatic contrasts– Scenic coastline dotted by lagoons, endless beaches, sequestered bays, shipwrecks and picturesque seaside villages. The countryside with its lush farmland, prehistoric caves, bizarre sinkholes, captivating wilderness and world-famous vineyards.

This is the spectacular Limestone Coast, strung out along southeastern SA between the Murray River and the Victorian border, midway between Adelaide and Melbourne.
