The Bordertown Visitor Information Centre in Tolmer Park is an addition to the old police station. Outside, the Old Gaol toilet block is worthy of an often necessary stop.

Tolmer Park is a delightful place to take a break and appreciate the district's spectacular red gums and natural beauty. The park was named after Police Inspector Alexander Tolmer who led gold escorts from the Victorian goldfields to Adelaide during 1852 and 1853; this saved the infant state of South Australia from bankruptcy.

Bordertown is famous for white kangaroos, found in the nearby wildlife park and is the birthplace of Bob Hawke, former Prime Minister of Australia. It is just a short walk to view the Bob Hawke Gallery and Bust.

Also within walking distance is a delightful recreation lake, ideal for canoeing, fishing and barbecues.

Bordertown is the gateway to South Australia's eastern border.

The Meningie Visitor Information Centre is located in the front left room of the building known as The Chambers - the home of Coorong Cottage Industries and Alberts Coffee Shop.

The Chamber was built in 1889 as chambers for the district council. It was the meeting place for various groups and entertainment and it also housed the Institute Library. Many changes and extensions have been made over the years.

After a number of years of limited use, Coorong Cottage Industries moved into the main building and Alberts Coffee Shop set up in the supper room section in 1997. The building is now restored and holds pride of place at the northern entrance to Meningie.

The Visitor Information Centre transferred in 2005 and is a non-manned centre with help available if requested.

The Millicent Visitor Information Centre not only provides tourist information, maps and holiday advice but also stocks an excellent range of souvenirs and locally made art and craft, along with an exhibition room with changing exhibitions.

This museum evolves around the old school house and it features displays of Millicent's history including the wreck of the Geltwood, a Victorian room, a Blacksmith's shed, Aboriginal Cave Art Room, Farm Machinery, T Class train locomotive and the largest collection of horse drawn vehicles in South Australia.
