89 Wonambi Road, Naracoorte
Naracoorte Cave National Park
The Naracoorte Caves are part of the 800,000 year old Naracoorte East Range. They are World Heritage listed, and one of the world’s most important fossil sites.
For half a million years the caves acted as pitfall traps and predator dens. Animals would fall in through a hole in the ground and not be able to escape. Bones collected – layer upon layer, year after year – creating a rich fossil record of the ancient animals that roamed the area. The fossil record covers several ice ages and the arrival of humans in the area.
Palaeontologists have excavated and dated many of the fossils in Naracoorte Caves. They have reconstructed the skeletons of many of the megafauna that lived so many years ago.
Of the 28 known caves in the park, four are open to the public. Other caves are set aside for scientific research or to protect the caves and their contents. Many of the caves contain spectacular stalactites and stalagmites.
With the caves staying at a constant 17 degrees centigrade, Naracoorte Caves is a destination for all seasons. We offer self-guided, guided and adventure caving tours year-round.

Naracoorte Swimming Lake
A jewel in Naracoorte’s recreation crown is the man-made Naracoorte Swimming Lake, located on Moore Street.
Open from 1 December until 31 March, it is one of the largest swimming pools you will ever see and entry is free.
The sheltered and gently sloping sandy shoreline is one of Australia’s safest inland beaches. Relax on the sandy shoreline, swim some laps in the 50 metre lane-marked area, or just sit in the shade of the many beautiful gum trees on the surrounding lawns.
It's the perfect place to cool off on a hot Summer day!
The Lake ranges from 1m to 2m deep in the middle of the pool. It is seven times the size of an Olympic Swimming Pool.



Bool Lagoon Road, Naracoorte
Bool Lagoon
Bool Lagoon is an oasis for birds. Set yourself up in the bird hide at the end of the Tea-Tree Boardwalk and you'll be able to spot a host of ibis and spoonbills. Up to one hundred and fifty species of bird have been recorded at Bool Lagoon.
Bool Lagoon is one of the largest and most diverse freshwater lagoon systems in southern Australia: a bird lover’s and photographer’s paradise. Located 21 kilometres south of Naracoorte, this seasonal wetland is home to a wide range of wildlife and provides an essential drought refuge for many rare and endangered bird species.
Take a drive to the top of Big Hill to see just how big these wetlands really are. The extended drive via Bool Lagoon and Moyhall Roads to Little Bool Lagoon is also worth the effort. The open water of Little Bool Lagoon is a popular venue for many waterbirds.
The boardwalk, extending 500 metres over the wetlands, gives the feeling of walking on water. Brolgas, commonly associated with northern Australia, are perhaps the most spectacular of the 150 species of birds that visit this area. Enjoy the magnificent scenery, make use of the comfortable ‘bird hides’ and listen carefully for the creatures of the wetlands, especially the insects and frogs.
A number of walking tracks, including the boardwalk, offer different vantage points of the spectacular lagoon over varying distances to cater for the time requirements and mobility of all visitors.
