Crystal Clear Windows Into the Earth
Beneath the pastoral farmland of South Australia’s Limestone Coast, groundwater moves slowly through ancient limestone aquifers, filtering through rock for decades or centuries before emerging at the surface with extraordinary clarity. At Ewens Ponds Conservation Park, this underground journey culminates in one of Australia’s most remarkable natural wonders — three interconnected spring-fed limestone ponds so clear that the bottom is visible at 10 metres depth, and underwater plants grow in conditions found nowhere else on Earth.
