Cave Gardens

This is a 50m-deep sinkhole right in the middle of town, with the odd suicidal shopping trolley at the bottom. You can walk down into it, and watch the nightly Sound & Light Show (from 8.30pm) telling local Buandig Aboriginal Dreaming stories. The multicultural Mount Gambier Farmers Market happens here on Saturday mornings.
