Every evening, historic local photos and pictures are projected onto the back of the buildings within the Cave Garden, followed by stories of our local dreamtime legends. The windows of the Main Corner also feature dramatic vision of volcanic eruptions and cave divers.

The Volcano movie is the story of Earth, Fire and Water. Starting, with the Aboriginal Dreamtime story of the Craitbul and his giant ovens, this big screen cinematic experience wows the senses as it weaves its way through an incredible story. This exciting adventure takes you through the spectacular history of eruptions that shaped Mount Gambier and the Kanawinka region.

The historic dolomite building connects us to Mount Gambier’s history, with interactive displays, diorama and touch screens that appeal to adults and children alike.
