National Local Roads and Transport – Congress in the City of Mount Gambier

Welcome to the City of Mount Gambier, the ‘Blue Lake City’. Mount Gambier, located equidistant between the major capital cities of Adelaide and Melbourne, is South Australia’s second largest City and is home to a population of over 26,000 people.

Mount Gambier is the regional centre for the Limestone Coast region of South Australia and much of the Western Districts of Victoria and is widely known as the home of Australia’s softwood timber industry.

A thriving progressive community, residents enjoy a quality lifestyle, with city facilities and services, many attractions, a wide range of accommodation, shopping and entertainment and surrounded by volcanic craters, lakes, limestone and underground aquifers.

Famous for its ‘Blue Lake’ that changes colour dramatically in November of each year from winter steel blue to brilliant turquoise blue and then in March changes back to steel blue.

The City also boasts beautiful parks and gardens, caves and sinkholes.

An interesting mix of galleries, museums and markets provides an insight into the culture and arts of the City. With fresh local food and wines available at many cafes and restaurants everyone’s tastes are catered for.
