Vast Lake Bonney, ringed by reserves and backed by wind farms, anchors the big-sky country around Millicent, a quieter, more elemental Limestone Coast.
A different Limestone Coast
Away from the wine strip and the busy caves, the country around Millicent opens out into something wider and wilder. Vast Lake Bonney spreads across the plain, and the horizon runs uninterrupted to the line of wind turbines on the ridges.
Built for the wind
Lake Bonney comes alive when the coastal wind picks up, and sailors and windsurfers make the most of those conditions. The quieter margins are good for birdwatching and a lakeside picnic, far from any crowd.
Wide horizons
This is the Limestone Coast at its most elemental: big skies, big water, and the constant presence of the wind. For travellers who like their landscapes spacious and uncrowded, the country around Millicent and Lake Bonney is a quiet revelation.
