Its a good sized town or city to stop in on the road
Con
It is often very cold and rainy! A long way from everywhere!
In a nutshell
Good spot for a town
sxhit Says: the princess margaret rose caves are magnifficent theres heaps to see for the whole family . There are fossils everywhere water dripping so come on down you will love it if you do not love or like you will get a not a special offer.
Diceman_ Says: What would a visit to Mt Gambier be without seeing the Blue Lake? There are 4 seperate lookout areas along the edge of the crater all offering good photo opportunities. The lake is at it's bluest around the summer months. The Blue Lake tour guide said the blue colour was...
Tam13 Says: No trip to Mount Gambier would be complete without a walk around the famous Blue Lake.The Lake changes colours throughout the year from a dull grey to a vibrant blue.There are a few spots to stop around the Lake to take in the view and take some happy snaps. Otherwise you...
Tattugran Says: Situated in the heart of the city the cave gardens were the original water source for early settlers. Famous for its roses (which werent out when we were there) it makes a nice setting for a picnic. There are suspension platforms that you can walk out onto for a nice view.
Tattugran Says: Well what can be said about the Blue Lake that hasnt already been said?? Not much at all I am afraid. Everyone that has read the other tips on it know that it is the city's water supply and that it contains 36,000 MILLION litres of water and the average depth is 80 Metres....
Tattugran Says: The Umpherston Sinkhole was originally beautified by James Umpherston. Today it is one of the most popular attractions in th eMt Gambier area.The landscaped gardens surrounding the sinkhole is a relaxing place to have a family picnic or barbecue with covered areas to protect...
Tattugran Says: Lady Nelson is a fully integrated tourism complex that offers all the information you need to help make you stay enjoyable. The complex is a community project built of local limestone and timber.A free admission theatre screens the film "Across the Green Triangle"...
Valley lake, beside the Blue Lake
Kate-Me Says: We found this a nice spot for a picnic, with a large children's playground and plenty of birds & swans around. Also next to the Parking area there's a wildlife park (free entry, the perimeter all fenced off) where an 'up close and personal' encounter was had with a Koala,...
Kate-Me Says: Number one to see in Mt Gambier, apart from the caves, is of course the magnificent Blue Lake (even during the months when it is no longer blue, but grey - March - about October, though at the moment it is April and still blue). It's a good starting point for your...
cafe bellgiorno mt gambier: Terrible service, poor food and very rude manager
Jonest74 Says: I don't write online reviews. Tonight's experience at caffe belgiorno was bad enough to make me get online and write. As the title says: appalling service (75 minutes for my basic pasta meal), poor food (still a nasty taste in my mouth) and a rather horrible encounter with...
Malaysia House: Great Asian and BYO
Tam13 Says: A great place that allows you to BYO alcoholic beverages.Big variety of dishes at a great price.Sometimes the service can be a bit average, but the cheap food makes up for it. Satay PrawnsToffee Banana and icecream - unreal!
Sorrentos Cafe: a relaxed Cafe.the place to go for lunch or brunch
Tattugran Says: This place wqas very relaxing. Across the road from the Cave Gardens . It has an atrium you can sit out in and watch the world go by. I had the Barbecue Steak Facoccia For $13.45 I felt it was a little over priced but still very enjoyable It can with a marinated piece of...
alisonr Says: This is right up there in the Mount as one of the best places to eat in style. The decor is traditional without being too old fashioned, with a cosy log fire and beautiful woodern chairs.Not a huge restaurant so it is not over crowded and loud. They change the menu fairly...
All over town: Mount Gambier's nightlife
Tam13 Says: Mount Gambier doesn't have a lot to offer those looking for the big nightclubs of the bigger cities. But the pub scene is definately alive down here.The G (aka The Gambier Hotel) has a range of live bands and guests DJs. Bar prices are higher than your normal pub. A bit more...
Jazz at the Engine Room: Local Jazz
alisonr Says: Jazz at the Engine Room is on the last Friday night of every month. I am a little bias with this tip as my vocal group Mayfair are one of the most frequent of performers. A great night out, with vocal and instramental jazz, and The J Boys 4 piece band a highlight. Neat...
Tam13 Says: Public transport will be of absolutely no use to anyone that wants to visit tourist spots in Mount Gambier.The local buses go in certain loops of the city, taking in mainly residential areas and schools, the local hospitala nd the local UNI/TAFE.You won't find a local bus...
Tam13 Says: Don't think that you'll find an array of bargain shopping in Mount Gambier.You'll find better bargains in the bigger cities and much more variety there as well.Mount Gambier has the usual chain supermarkets, hardware stores and clothing outlets that will be able to help you...
fancy a little fishing? Go to DONOVANS
Tattugran Says: Donovans is a quiet little town situated on the only section of the Gleneig River that flows in South Australia An interesting note : fishing permits ARE NOT requiered on this sectin of the river. As you walk along the river bank you can see rows of boat houses and the...
Picanniny and Ewen Ponds sinkholes
Kate-Me Says: Picanniny and Ewen Ponds are sinkholes for snorkelling and diving, located about 20 minutes from Mt Gambier, near the coast not far from Port Macdonnell. Picanniny is one large pond, about 25 metres deep and has a chasm with steep sides in the middle. Snorkelling over the...
iandsmith Says: The park is a lovely open space for picnics while the wildlife reserve won me over. Trying to get through the entry gate (it's free) past a prying overbearing emu was a bit disconcerting but there are well laid out trails to walk around and there are many bird species on...
