Port MacDonnell

Half an hour from Mount Gambier, Port MacDonnell feels like the end of the line — in the best possible way. As South Australia's southernmost town, this laid-back fishing village rests easy at the edge of the map, where cray pots clatter on the jetty and sea spray hangs in the air like salt on your skin. Here, life revolves around the sea. The harbour hums with stories of its famed rock lobster, while just around the corner, the local fish and chips shop serves warm, golden paper-wrapped treasures. Beyond the town’s rich maritime past that lingers in the old trading port, the coastline is dotted with ancient sinkholes carved by time and tide — like Little Blue Lake. Whether you’re chasing the perfect catch or wandering along coastal trails, Port MacDonnell offers a genuine slice of the Limestone Coast’s wild heart.
