Limestone Coast: a practical guide to the south-east
The Limestone Coast brings together coastal towns, volcanic landscapes and country drives. Give the region enough time to travel at a comfortable pace and check local conditions before leaving.
Build a flexible regional plan
Choose a small number of towns or landscapes rather than treating the coast as a checklist. South Australian Tourism Commission Limestone Coast guide (opens in a new tab) provides a useful regional starting point, while park information helps with current access.
Look after special places
Naracoorte is part of the Australian Fossil Mammal Sites World Heritage property. Follow site guidance and allow visitor conditions to guide your plans. National Parks and Wildlife Service Limestone Coast information (opens in a new tab) and UNESCO Australian Fossil Mammal Sites (opens in a new tab) provide source context.
