Mount Gambier is featured on the custom Australian Community Relief MONOPOLY game board to unite regional communities and raise much needed funds for the Australian Red Cross.

The Umpherston Sinkhole is one of 22 regional locations across Australia showcased on the board. The game has been created to highlight the community spirit and strength in regions impacted by various disasters in 2020 including bushfires, floods and COVID-19.

“I am so excited that our city has been included in the Australian version of this iconic family game,” City of Mount Gambier Mayor Lynette Martin said.

“This is wonderful recognition for our area, and I hope that people who play the game are interested to learn more about our beautiful city and feel compelled to come and visit.”

$5 per Australian Community Relief Edition MONOPOLY game and $2 from each MONOPOLY Puzzle will be donated directly to the Australian Red Cross, to further assist these areas and people in need around Australia.

The game will be available for purchase at Big W, Sanity and selected local outlets.
