[2025 Mount Gambier Attraction] Travel Guide for Umpherston Sinkhole / Balumbul (Updated May)

#australiatrip Exploring the Sunken Gardens in Mount Gambier is like stepping into a hidden oasis of tranquility and beauty. Known as the Umpherston Sinkhole, this garden was transformed from a collapsed limestone cave into a lush, green sanctuary by James Umpherston in 1886. Visitors can wander through the vibrant flora, enjoy the cool shade provided by the towering trees, and marvel at the intricate rock formations. The garden is especially magical at dusk when possums emerge, adding a touch of wildlife to the serene environment. The Sunken Gardens are located on Jubilee Highway East, Mount Gambier, South Australia.

What was once a collapsed limestone cave is now a beautifully transformed garden, where vines and greenery cascade down the walls, creating a magical, tranquil atmosphere. Walking down into the sinkhole felt like stepping into a secret garden from a fairy tale.
