Millicent,
a thriving town in the heart of time country 50km from Mt Gambier, is not
only a fascinating, culturally-switched on community in its own right, but
is the gateway to some of the state’s most exciting tourist traps.
The National Trust Millicent Museum, whose collection includes 16 immaculately
restored horse-drawn vehicles and carriages, and the Admella Gallery are well
worth a visit, while the Civic and Arts Centre is the hub for performing artists
and entertainers.
The boardwalks skirting Lake McIntyre allow close-ups of the waterbirds which
flock on this sanctuary. Beyond Millicent lie Canunda National Park, the spectacular
Tantanoola Caves and the southern ports. The park, only 5km out of town, is
characterised by sea-sculpted cliffs, moving dunes, turbulent surf beaches
and Lake Bonney
Built on reclaimed land this prosperous farming centre came to be known as the city of the drains, because of the numerous channels which turned swamps into wheat and barley fields. The Agricultural Show is held here in November.
