Mount Gambier, Summit in South Australia, Australia

Mount Gambier stands at 623 feet above sea level, featuring multiple crater lakes formed by volcanic activity in southeastern South Australia.

Lieutenant James Grant of the Royal Navy first spotted the mountain in 1800, naming it after Admiral James Gambier of the British fleet.

The indigenous name Ereng Balam represents the deep connection between the mountain and the traditional custodians of the land.

The commemorative tower at the summit offers access points for visitors to observe the surrounding landscape and geological formations.

The mountain contains four distinct crater lakes, making it a significant geological formation in the Australian volcanic landscape.
