Bordertown

Situated on the Dukes Highway, Bordertown is the entry point from Victoria for many visitors to the Limestone Coast. Birthplace of former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke and home to Australia's only known colony of white kangaroos Bordertown is ideal as a stopover point or as a touring base for the surrounding Tatiara district. Visit the Bob Hawke Gallery in Woolshed Street, pick up a copy of the interpretive walk from the Visitor Information Centre in beautiful Tolmer Park or travel to nearby Poocher Swamp, a wetlands reserve set among magnificent red gums several centuries old, for a picnic or spot of yabbying. Bordertown is also the Southern Gateway to Ngarjat and Big Desert National Parks offering four wheel drive enthusiasts a chance to see the beautiful, rugged environment up close.
