Naracoorte

Naracoorte (population 4,888) is a town in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia, approximately 336 kilometres south-east of Adelaide and 100 kilometres north of Mount Gambier on the Riddoch Highway (A66).

The town has historically relied largely on sheep, cattle and wheat farming. In recent decades, tourism has become a major industry with the promotion of the World Heritage-listed Naracoorte Caves National Park and the internationally recognised wetland, Bool Lagoon. It also receives a substantial number of visitors due to its proximity to the Coonawarra, Wrattonbully, and Padthaway wine regions.

Naracoorte is in the Naracoorte Lucindale Council, the state electoral district of MacKillop and the federal Division of Barker. The postcode is 5271.

There are three schools: Naracoorte High on Stewart Terrace,[3] Naracoorte Primary on Park Terrace[4] and Naracoorte South Primary.[5] Independent schools include Naracoorte Christian School (also called Sunrise Christian School) formerly on Rolland Street, now located on Caves Road.[6]

The town has an Australian Rules football team competing in the Kowree-Naracoorte-Tatiara Football League.[7] and also supplies players for a number of surrounding teams such as Kybybolite, Padthaway and Border Districts.
