Limestone Coast

As always we got up early at around 6. The reason for the early rise is that there are only about 12 hours of daylight from 6 to 6. Therefore we have to make the best of the limited available time.
We drove a bit for breakfast at a ocean inlet and then a bit more until we reached Mt Gambier. A small town which has quite a lot to offer:
- Blue Lake, a volcanic crater filled with groundwater that has an intense blue glare at specific times of the year
- Umpherston Sinkhole, a structure similar to the cenotes on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. Here it wasn't filled with water but with a lush blooming garden
- Lady Nelson Visitor Center, an admission free museum and visitor centre showboating (pun intended) a 1:1 replica of the ship that discovered Mt Gambier

For lunch we drove onwards towards the coast to a small harbour village called Robe. It features several smaller lakes in the central area and an obelisk as a warning for ships coming too close to the shallow waters.Read more
