Days 13-14 - Mt Gambier
 |
| The Jumping Pillow! |
 |
| The Blue Lake |
What a beautiful place! We stayed at a caravan park right
across from The Blue Lake. Unfortunately the stormed had kicked in the day
before and continued the whole time we were at Mt Gambier, very blowy and wet.
The Blue Lake was once an active volcano thousands of years ago. You can see
the whole circumference from the lookout and the water is an amazing blue!

| Wombat/Koala bigger than Jade |

| Cave exploration |
We visited the Naracoorte caves (about 1hr from Mt Gambier)
and had a personal tour (we were the only ones there because of the weather) of
the Alexandra cave and learnt how the caves, stalactites and stalagmites were
formed. The girls seemed to know a lot about them already. We visited their
active (robotic) display which showed the animals that were found in the caves.
They had excavated the bones and recreated how the animal looked when alive.
One animal which looked like a wombat crossed with a koala and was taller than
Jade.
The really bad weather kept us in the caravan for the rest
of the time and when at its windiest felt like it was going to blow away at
night.
