Limestone Coast Reviews
The best of the Limestone Coast, Wednesday, 02 July 2008
Leaving Mt Gambier, travel north to the Coonawarra District. The light clay coloured soil, indicates that you entering a fine red wine district.
Stop at the many wineries for a tasteing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Majority of the wineries provide picnic facilities, and are well known table wines of Australia.
This also includes the Padthaway District.
The road is straight and narrow, continuing north, you arrive at the Naracoorte Caves.
These caves are World Heritage Listed, the staff knowledgable and enthuastic, viewing Australian dinosours, ready to answer any question you have to ask. Fantastic.
After leaving the Naracoorte Caves, we continued north in South Australia till we came across the town of Keith.
Keith appeared to be in the centre of South Australia, it is the 'typical' Australian town, everyone knows everyone else. The local store was a family name, and, hey, everything closes early. We hit the local hotel, for a meal. The best steak, I have tasted. It was all so fresh, I have never seen a meal that big... country charm.
We continued on from Keith, to Strathalbyn, but thats another story.....
Travelling around Australia...fantastic

With surrounding wineries and local townships in arms reach, Kingston is a idilic place to base ones self for that well earned weekend away or a few weeks re-energising ones self. Whether single, couple or family, there is something to tickle each ones fancy. Whether its boating, fishing, swimming, surfing, wine sampling, or feasting on local seafood produce, there is an avenue to persue. There are antique shops to browse through and places like the Lighthouse to climb so plenty to keep most busy for hours on end. There are a number of great fishing spots so why not stop, chuck a line in and just relax! Many simply seek a quiet and stress free getaway and Kingston will definately come through with the goods there!
With a fishing marina available, those who are looking at a fishing getaway, this provides a safe launching area and allows you to mingle with many of the locals- its main economy includes fishing so perfect oppertunity to scope out the perfect fishing spots!
Whether its camping, caravaning, or something a little more intimate such as a B and B or a hotel/motel, there are several to chose from. Whatever your preference, there is definately something to accomodate your comfort needs.
There are a number of parks around the township that provide BBQ facilities so why not stoll on down and enjoy the fresh air and open surroundings while enjoying a bite to eat. Whether you enjoy a BBQ or prefere something a little more upmarket, there are a few nice restaraunts around to cater for your needs.
With friendly faces to welcome all that visit, one can only leave with the mindset that they will definately return to this coastal town on their next getaway in the near future.
