Mount Gambier - Day 2


Not much to report today. We stayed in Mount Gambier just to absorb some of the atmosphere here. We went to city hall and watched a free cinema movie titled "Volcano" which detailed how the volcanic explosions caused the blue lake, sink holes and the landscape around mount Gambier and Victoria mountain ranges. It was very interesting.

We bought some pies from the "OK Pie" shop. We had to queue for about 5 mins to get them, so had high expectations, but, the pies were just ok. I guess that's where they got the name.

After then, we took a tour down to the pump station on the Blue Lake, which was still amazing, but the tour was quiet boring.


Lidia got her photo in a limestone block.




Then it was beer o'clock.

Tomorrow, should be more interesting. I found an add for "Peter's Fish farm" just north of Kalangadoo, where they farm rainbow trout and yabbies. The best part, is he is going to give me tips on trout fishing, and allows onsite camping. I don't have the fly gear, but he reckons they will take a small spinner.

We are not sure if the internet will work there, so might be unable to update for a few days, but the photos should be worth it. It we have internet, the boast photos should start flowing as freely as the rainbow trout :)

Lidia should now finally have a chance to use her early birthday present (fishing rod and reel package)
