Hé, what's wrong with Mount Remarkable?? my previous story has hardly been read and that even as there were so many nice pictures in it and also (scary) animals.....
So, if you read this and didn't read the last one, I suggest you still do.
Then now its time to get drunk in the Barossa. We had a great house sitting again, nice view but unfortunately we didn't had too good weather so we haven't sat outside;
We were situated on the edge of the wine region in Lyndoch but the wine wasn't too far away, with this Welcome Arch only 8 k's from us we could nearly roll home after a nice tasting....

| Jacob's Creek |
From Jacobs Creek we went to Seppelt but unfortunately because of an event that was closed to the public so we only saw the road towards the winery which is beautiful because of all the palms....
and we also passed the family's mausoleum....
During the winery tour we passed great views and spots....
Mengler's Hill Lookout with the Barossa Sculpture Park
Yalumba Winery; a beauty!
Wolf Blass; an expensive one....
After this lovely stay and all the wine experiences; we tried one of the local wine's every night,
we continued our journey towards Victoria, we chose to go along the coast via the Princess Highway; one of our stops; only $ 10.00 for two nights, sorry, I forgot where it was
Our goal was to stop a few days at Mount Gambier because I had heard that it has a blue lake, but that wasn't the only attraction of Mount Gambier, it seemed to have a lot of sinkholes too and these were very special....
We were camping at the Mount Gambier Showgrounds, which was very good by the way, and this sinkhole, named Umpherston Sinkhole, was only 1 km from the showgrounds so we could walk to it.
Of course it's a great location for a wedding as well, especially for the pictures....
Even in the middle of the city, amongst the shops, was a sinkhole as well.
I personally find it a bit scary to know there are sinkholes and even caves under the city.
Bee's at the entrance of the cave....
And then........
The Blue Lake;
The Blue Lake boasts a vibrant cobalt blue colour during the months of December through to March each year. From April through to November, the lake turns to a darker steel grey colour.
There are a number of theories behind the mysterious colour change of the water, but it generally accepted that the change in colour has something to do with the water temperature of the Lake.
There is a walking trail around the lake and we did a small part of it, passing this strange prickly little garden.....
We had a great time in Mount Gambier, unfortunately we had problems again with the car (new starter motor) which costed us again an extra day AND money of course.
Till next time.
Cheers!
