….which stretches from the Coorong at the Murray River mouth, heads south towards the Southern Ocean Shipwreck Trail to Port MacDonnell, the Southern Rock Lobster capital of Australia and then east to the Glenelg river.

The region is defined by the limestone rock in the area, which helps the soil filter the plentiful access to water through both high rainfall and underground water to create a rich and productive environment for the South East of Southern Australia food bowl. The limestone also creates some unique land anomalies, like the sinkholes.
