An early start, with a open road heading out towards the coast. So open and flat there were numerous salt plains along the way. The few rest stops on route, broke up the monotonous landscape. Some made the open road seem much
more appealing.
By early morning we had arrived at Kingston SE home of Larry the Lobster standing in at 18 meters. Home also to Analemmatic Sundial, where you see your own shadow to tell the time, and and a light house which is no longer on the pier.
Larry!
Tantanoola Caves is on route - smaller than imagined it has stalactites and stalagmites is cold and dark - a welcome break from a hot day. Also a gander around the walking trails - extinct volcanoes and impressive views of the pine plantations.
Mount Gambier is set amongst some very old extinct volcanoes, of which the craters had filled with water. One, aptly named the BLue Lake, is the towns water supply and truly has the bluest water.
There is also a limestone sink hole which has been made into a bizarre sunken garden - free to wonder around and open late into the night when possums come out.
