The small town of Naracoorte in southern South Australia is most famous for its limestone caves, one of Australia's 15 World Heritage listed areas.

The caves are particularly well known for their fossil finds, which have been dated to 350,000 years.

There are 26 caves in the park and they are also home to the breeding colony of Australia's largest colony of bent wing bats.
