We had a little adventure and drove around Lake Robe...some 4wd was necessary then we discovered the Lake and that the only vantage point was about 2 mins of the main road..oh well it was fun.
As you can see it is a Inland Lake that is now very salty but by the size of the oyster shells, was once a place for a good feed.
This was an unusual lighthouse in that it is wood.. This is now situated in Kingston but was originally at Cape Jaffa.
On we went and landed at Mount Gambier...the park here was situated just above the incredible Blue Lake. This Lake has this colour from Mid November until mid-March, there are a variety of reasons given but I really don't think anyone can give a definitive reason. The caravan park appeared to be in the old Botanical Garden, lovely, just a shame that we were getting into the bad weather.
Because this whole area is made of Limestone you get these Sink Holes. The pioneers made them into gardens, some of which have been renovated and presented on the heritage list.
