You may have noticed that I haven't written for a while. It's largely due to the fact, that there's not much to tell.
We've travelled out of Warrnambool into Mt. Gambier. Mt. Gambier is famous for it's blue lake. The irridescent blue is such an unusual colour that you either think it's polluted or it's the purest water ever. But this occurrence only happens between November and March. After that, for the winter months, it goes back to a ''normal'' colour,..grey/green. We were hoping to get a picture of the ''before'' and ''after''. But we only got the before....which I'm glad!! It was magnificent.
The township of Mt. Gambier is sitting on an extinct volcano, which is why there are so many sinkholes and caves. They made a community garden out of one sinkhole. And there's stories about a cave that's located in the heart of the city. And to top that, the cave also has an underground water table running through it. Qualified divers are able to dive in there to have a look around and it runs quite a distance through the city.
And then, we headed out to Meningie for an overnight stay. The rolling hills of gold stretched out before us. So there wasn't too much to write about there.
We continued on to a little place called Victor Harbour. At the moment, we're still here. We were going on to Kangaroo Island....that is until we found out the price to get there. Far too expensive for a day trip, so we opted out and toured the Fleurieu Peninsula. The rugged coastline was very impressive and the still standing colonial homes were impressive as well. We even met up with some kangaroos on one of the points. (Tappanapa Lookout)
And today, we're resting. The weather is still miserable and I'm feeling kind of tired myself. So fishing is out, touring is out, and book reading is in. Maybe even take in a movie today.
There are photos to look at, so by all means, have a look. In the meantime, the heroine in my book is about to escape the clutches of her captor,...so I'm off to see what happens.
