Wattle Range

Wattle Range is one of the most beautiful destinations in the Limestone Coast. It spans from Beachport Coast to the Victoria border, and this stretch from the sea to the border gives it great biodiversity amongst its stunning attractions.

Wattle Range is best known for its agricultural industry; evident in the numerous sheep, cattle, and dairy farms. Viticulture also plays a key role in the local economy, since the Wattle Range is home to the iconic Coonawarra Wine region.
