Destination - Limestone Coast
About this Destination:
The Limestone Coast is south-east of Adelaide, and covers the coastal area from the South Australian border with Victoria, to the Younghusband Peninsula. There are a number of magnificent sites along the Limestone Coast, including Mount Gambier's Blue Lake which fills the crater of a dormant volcano, and the Pool of Siloam at Beachport, which is seven times saltier than the sea. The World Heritage Listed Naracoorte Caves are around half a million years old and contain megafauna fossils. The Coorong National Park is an incredible spot for four wheel driving (4WD), fishing, boating and camping. More than 80 species of birds live in the series of long, shallow saltwater lagoons.

Giddy Up - Horse riding on the beach today with RUNDELL'S MAHOGANY TRAIL RIDES in Dennington as we make our way to Mount Gambier.
Rundell’s Mahogany Trail Rides opened in 1997, we have been trail riding through the sand dunes and along the beach with a team of friendly and experienced staff giving clients the best experience with horses that we can. We offer riders of all experience levels, from the complete beginner to the experienced rider the opportunity to ride wonderful horses along a quiet and isolated stretch of beach. Our horses have been specially bred and trained to cater for all riders from the nervous beginner to the very experienced so that everyone can enjoy the thrill of riding a horse along a wide open beach. Our staff lead all rides so every rider will have a safe and enjoyable ride. Every rider walks and trots (a slow jog), with the opportunity to have a go at a canter, even if you have never ridden before, an experience that very few other trail riding establishments will offer first time riders, we don’t however gallop our horses.
