Nestled on the Limestone Coast, you’ll find South Australia’s only World Heritage-listed site—Naracoorte Caves. This globally significant fossil site preserves evidence of giant marsupials that roamed the region for over 500,000 years.
Today, the caves offer a rare chance to step back in time and witness Australia’s prehistoric past in a setting that’s both educational and awe-inspiring.

The Victoria Fossil Cave is recognised by UNESCO for its outstanding scientific value.
