I would say this has to be one of the best visitor information centres I have visited. The tall ship out front is just amazing. They have so much info of the area and small businesses to visit. So many things to see in Mt Gambier, I think we'd need a month here to visit everything. But this is the first place to stop

I would recommentd every visitor to the town to go here because it tells you all of the history and is a great learning place.

The Lady Nelson visitor and discovery centre is a recommended stop for information for the local area of Mount Gambier, the Limestone Coast, South Australia and Victoria, with detailed brochures on each destination. They also have a range of souvenirs and local wares for sale and a discovery tour to see at your leisure all for reasonable prices. The friendly staff will also assist you if further information is needed regarding local sights and places of interest.

This visitors centre is more spectacular than most, with the tall ship outside. It really looks nice at night too, all lit up. There is plenty of local information available and there seems to be heaps of things to see and do in the area.
There is a Discovery Centre tour you can do at the visitors centre, and we found this very interesting and quite fun. The price wasnt too bad, about $10 for adults and $25 for a family, I think it was. We spent an hour or so in the centre, rather than just picking up brochures as we usually do.
