Søer og vådområder i Mount Gambier

Lakes and Wetlands

Mount Gambier’s volcanic landscape features a series of craters that have evolved into diverse aquatic ecosystems. Valley Lake offers extensive recreation areas and a wildlife park, while the Leg of Mutton and Browne Lake craters showcase the region’s changing hydrology, having transitioned from deep lakes to significant wetland habitats. These sites, along with the Conroe Artificial Wetland, provide essential refuge for local bird species and opportunities to observe the geological transition of the Limestone Coast's volcanic craters.
