The Heart of Mount Gambier

The Blue Lake (Warwar) is Mount Gambier’s most iconic attraction — a breathtaking volcanic crater lake that captivates visitors with its dazzling, colour-changing waters. Every year, from November to March, the lake transforms from a deep steel grey to a brilliant cobalt blue, creating a spectacular natural phenomenon. Formed within an extinct volcano, Blue Lake is not only a scenic wonder but also the main water source for the city. Surrounded by walking trails, lookouts, and picnic spots, it’s perfect for photography, sightseeing, and learning about Mount Gambier’s unique geological history. A true must-see landmark of South Australia.
