• Museum or cave?

    June 24 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

    What do you do when the rain is horizontal in Mount Gambier? A museum or a limestone cave perhaps. Well we did both today because the rain was literally horizontal for much of the day. We visited Millicent's History Museum this morning after a harrowing drive across to Millicent in pouring rain dodging the logging trucks which were still doing 110 km per hour despite the rain! The Museum had an eclectic mix of exhibits including horse drawn vehicles, women's fashion through the ages and a fascinating exhibit documenting how the Limestone Coast's marshlands were drained. After lunch we explored the Tantanoola Caves, a small but impressive limestone cave. It was then on to Mt Gambier to check out Blue Lake and the Umpherstone Gardens constructed in a sink hole. Tomorrow we will wend our way along Victoria's Shipwreck Coast to Ocean Grove for the evening.Read more
