Umpherston sinkhole was once a cave formed through the dissolution of the limestone. This sinkhole was created as a result of the roof chamber falling to the floor of the cave, creating the perfect environment for it's sunken garden
Mr Umpherston found this cave on his property & spent many hours creating the garden & sadly it fell into disrepair when he passed away in early 1900's.
Thankfully it has now been fully restored & is a beautiful place to sit awhile & look at the wonders of this place
The gardens are open at all times, spectacular by day with its beautiful terraced gardens & exciting at night when the resident possums venture out to feed in the floodlit gardens
