Umpherston Sinkhole

Highlights

Dive into the magical world of the Umpherston Sinkhole, also called the Sunken Garden! This giant hole in the ground has been turned into a beautiful garden with hanging vines, terraces, and lots of flowers. It’s like a secret hideout where you can walk down to the bottom and explore.

Visit at dusk to meet the friendly possums who love eating fresh fruit (but no bread, please). With picnic spots, barbecues, and even a cafe, it’s a great place to chill out and have fun with friends or family!

  • Always do some research before heading out for your journey. Visit the parks website for up to date information on the current conditions.
  • Stay safe and get the most out of your park visit by preparing for natural hazards and other outdoor risks. You are responsible for your own safety and the safety of those in your care.
  • Always stay on the marked tracks where possible. Never climb fences, they are there for your own safety.
