Our first few days in South Australia have been interesting, but that cold southerly wind just does NOT want to leave us. Mt Gambia is built around 2 lakes which were volcanic craters. One of the lakes is a vibrant blue in the summer months but changes to grey in the winter. The blue lake is 500metres across & 70 metres deep.
We also visited the old courthouse. We had to collect the key from the Deli across the road. What a laugh! We pretended we were on trial, “Guilty or Not Guilty, Murderer!” we yelled. Had the place to ourselves & wondered why people were looking at us when we walked out.

The sinkholes were amazing to. They have grown beautiful gardens inside, there is even a barbeque area behind the vines here.
Just outside Mt Gambia are the Tantanoola Caves. Kirsty & Jade were amazed at this impressive cave. A young boy discovered this cave & his family started their own business. Imagine finding a cave like this -
This combination stalactite/stalagmite is called “the wedding cake”.
The scenery we are passing is flat, dry farmland, with salt lined estuaries and dried up dams. We are not sure if it is always dry like this.
