[2025 Joanna Attraction] Travel Guide for Naracoorte Caves National Park (Updated Jun)

#summervacay You can book tickets on the official website with options for guided or self-guided tours. The caves are well-developed with excellent facilities, making it a great day trip from Mount Gambier—just about 1 hour away. I got tickets for $14.5. Nearby, you’ll also find the Wonambi Fossil Centre and Tantanoola Cave as alternatives. Tantanoola Cave is smaller and cheaper but still worth a visit. Blue Lake Nicknamed the “Jiuzhaigou of South Australia,” Blue Lake turns stunningly vibrant in December! There are several lookout spots perfect for photos. If the weather’s good, take some time to walk around the lake—it truly feels like stepping into a Studio Ghibli painting 🌸🌊. Umpherston Sinkhole / Balumbul Cave Garden This sunken garden is filled with beautiful hydrangeas—perfect for photos, especially if you wear a pretty dress 🌺. It’s not very large, so you can explore and take photos in about half an hour. It’s right on the edge of Mount Gambier city, just a few minutes’ drive. #MountGambier #RoadTrip #SouthAustralia #BlueLake #NaracoorteCaves
