Crater Lakes Mountain Trail Reopened

The City of Mount Gambier has completed the task of felling large burnt pine trees along the Crater Lakes rim following a fire that ravaged the area in January 2022. The stairs and crater rim path to Centenary Tower are now open to the public following the work, enabling walkers and runners to complete a full loop of the Mountain Trail once again.

“We hope that our active community members will enjoy climbing the stairs and the beautiful scenic walk along the crater to Centenary Tower once again,” General Manager City Infrastructure Barbara Cernovskis said.

“It has been a long process to fell the first three tiers of trees as the Crater Lakes precinct is a State Heritage area which requires Development Application approval to undertake work of this type.”
