only World Heritage site. The site was officially
recognised in 1994 because of the importance of
the fossils in the caves. The park is home to over
100 known fossil deposits, preserving the bones of
megafauna that became extinct roughly 60,000 years
ago. Naracoorte Caves preserves Australia’s most
complete fossil record for the past 500,000 years.
There are a variety of tours and tour durations available
to match the diversity of the visitors.
The Blue Lake is a unique natural phenomenon that
turns from a grey colour to a vibrant blue that has to
be seen to be believed and this is also the local water
source for the region. Take the aquifer tour and travel
down the original well in a glass elevator and explore
the original pump room and make your way out on to a
viewing platform.
Mary MacKillop was canonised on 17 October 2010 in

Australia’s first saint of the Catholic Church. She met
Father Julian Tenison Woods in Penola in 1860 and their
dream began to found a new religious order to meet
the educational needs of isolated and disadvantaged
children. She started teaching in a stable and then
moved to the Schoolhouse, which today is a heritage
building; join our volunteers to learn more.
