The marron is native to the southwestern region of Western Australia. Marron was introduced to Kangaroo Island during the 1960’s and now inhabits a number of waterways throughout the island. Marron farming commenced in South Australia in the early 1990’s and there are now close to 200 registered growers, with a number of farmers producing on a commercial scale.

Andermel Marron is now open to the public for farm gate and cellar door sales. Several vintages of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz have been produced. The farm also is trailing various native foods in conjunction with CSIRO.

Kelly Hill Caves offers tours throughout the day. The recent instillation of fibre optic lighting allows visitors to see the cave in brilliant natural white light.
