Princess Margaret Rose Cave is currently closed to the public

Princess Margaret Rose Cave is currently closed to the public. Essential safety works including new cave lighting, painting the visitor centre and electrical systems are complete. Work is continuing to upgrade toilets and the wastewater system.

Due to the mouth of the river being blocked, some jetties and boat ramps may be under water.

The mouth of the Glenelg River has blocked and we are experiencing higher water levels than usual. Some jetties are currently under water and may be slippery. We recommend these facilities are not used if flooded as there may be boards missing due to the upward pressure of the rising water.
Some built assets may be temporarily closed, do not enter or use closed jetties or boat ramps for your safety
