Kilsby Sinkhole + Long Lunch at Blok

Your day will start on a sheep farm located amidst beautiful rolling countryside just 14km south of Mount Gambier, where you will find a unique geological feature – the Kilsby Sinkhole, and a wealth of experiences.

Once little more than a watering hole on the stock route through the Mount Schank area, Kilsby Sinkhole has been at the heart of four generations of farming activity by the Kilsby family. In that time, use of the sinkhole has changed and grown, and today it is offers a fascinating history and a host of adventures.

The Tour  

Your morning will start with a guided tour: learn how sinkholes form, find out about the history of Kilsby Sinkhole and its role as a dive spot and training site for the SA Police, and a centre for secret weapons research.

See the layers of rock left by geological changes over millions of years as you head down into the sinkhole itself. Experience the uniquely serene atmosphere on the pontoon at water level in this ancient geological marvel.

Snorkelling

Take the experience a step further and experience Kilsby Sinkhole via snorkelling. Kitted out in high-quality wet-suit, fins, mask and snorkel, an experienced guide will provide a thorough safety briefing and run first-timers through how to get the most out of snorkelling. Then you’ll head down into the Sinkhole and experience the incredible water clarity that has drawn divers to the site for decades as you explore the surface of the lake.

For those that would prefer to skip the snorkelling, you’ll be treated to a Sinkhole Gin tasting.

Long Lunch at The Blok
