About

In the heart of South Australia’s hidden gem the Limestone Coast, midway between Adelaide and Melbourne, lies the town of Naracoorte.

Naracoorte is home to the World Heritage listed Naracoorte Caves which are World Heritage listed because of the importance of the fossils at the site, preserving Australia’s most complete marsupial fossil record.
