Located in the middle of a sheep farm located 10 minutes from Mount Gambier, Kilsby Sinkhole is an amazing natural wonder with a unique and fascinating history. Once little more than a watering hole for traveling stockmen who would throw a bucket into water below and haul it to ground level to quench the thirst of their cattle, the sinkhole has since been central to 4 generations of farming activity by the Kilsby Family.
Kilsby Sinkhole is drawing divers because of the shimmering crystal-clear water of the chamber below, the site was one of the first sinkholes to be dived in the Mount Gambier region, with recreational diving activity commencing in the late 1950s. The site attracted a large number of people who flocked to the site on news of its natural beauty and renowned water clarity.
