Carpenter Rocks, South Australia, is a rugged coastal village near
Mount Gambier known for its dramatic Southern Ocean scenery, excellent fishing/diving, and historic Admella shipwreck, featuring a sheltered bay for boats, nearby
Cape Banks Lighthouse, and access to
Canunda National Park, offering a wild, natural escape with
camping, hiking,
rock pools, and stunning
limestone formations. The name of the town "Carpenter Rocks" is due to the serrated
limestone rocks that dominate the rugged coastline here - looking like a carpenter's saw - so named by early Dutch
explorers.The shipwreck of the Admella in 1859 is a key part of the town's history. Admella was an Australian passenger steamship.
