Mt Gambier
Mt Gambier is a large town built on the extinct
volcano (Mt Gambier). The most famous lake in Mt. Gambier is Blue
Lake, which is often grey, although changes to blue in November
(for some reason). There are also a number of other lakes in the
area with several walking tracks around them, as well as picnic
tables and wildlife parks.
A popular activity
is cave diving within the Engelbrecht Cave, where there are also
tours down to the water table. In the evening you should definitely
go to the Umpherston Sinkhole, which are beautiful floodlit gardens
popular amongst possums.
There are plenty of camping grounds in the area, as well as
several hotels offering accommodation
and meals. It is a beautiful place to stay and has wonderful scenery and places
to visit. You can get to Mt Gambier from Adelaide on the Premier Stateliner
service, as well as from Melbourne on the V/Line.
