Engelbrecht Cave

Engelbrecht Cave features a sinkhole with two passages stretching underground, where the east passage extends 70 meters to a lake and the west spans 300 meters.

The cave, discovered in 1864 by four men in a canoe, received its name from Carl Engelbrecht, who used the site for his whiskey distillery operations in 1885.

Cave diving enthusiasts regularly explore the underwater sections, contributing to the documentation and mapping of Mount Gambier's subterranean network of water-filled passages.

The cave operates daily from 10 AM to 3 PM, offering guided tours for 14.50 AUD per adult and 8.50 AUD per child through the accessible dry sections.

Located beneath residential streets, the cave system contains both dry tourist sections and submerged passages that connect to an extensive underwater network at 12 meters above sea level.
