Engelbrecht Cave
A limestone cave in town that you can visit on a guided tour to see its underground pools. It's also a training site for cave divers.
Engelbrecht Cave lies in the western part of town. It is a limestone cave system named after the 19th-century German settler Engelbrecht, who set up a winery here. The cave was once used as a rubbish dump before divers cleared it and opened it to visitors. Guided tours last about 45 minutes. As you descend the steps, you can see clear underground pools, part of the vast aquifer beneath Mount Gambier. There is a café and a visitor centre outside. Tours require a ticket and depart on the hour.
