The Lady Nelson
The Lady Nelson Centre has been built around a full-scale replica of the brig HMS Lady Nelson, from which Lieutenant James Grant sighted and named Mount Gambier in 1800.
It provides an information service on Mount Gambier and the Limestone Coast.
Experience interactive displays on local history, geology and culture. Head through an under-sea world to see fish that helped to make the limestone 30 million years ago. Wander through The Wetlands to see animals here before we were, and learn the history of Aboriginal middens.
Walk on the exciting glass floor to see the illuminated fossil rocks below. See 40,000-year-old fossils and examples of Aboriginal art. Watch for the Cave Explorer. In the Geology Room, see the neon volcano explode.
Enter HMS Lady Nelson to hear Lieutenant Grant tell his story. Learn about life on this early sailing ship and see some of its passengers come to life!
