A bit of catching up to do... More difficult to locate internet in smaller places! After a relatively short drive (at least compared to yesterday) we made it to the little town of Mt Gambier early afternoon (having left Robe late morning). The big feature here is a large natural lake, set in a crater which was formed through volcanic activity quite a long time ago. As it captures rainfall, it is also the primary source of drinkwater in the area. So we are walk...

At over 330km from Victor Harbor, and with the heat, Robe felt like a really long drive away...

Adelaide... well on arrival it was hot (about 33deg), and we were met by an 'old school' chauffeur with proper uniform and hat. Nice ride, though we didn't really look the part. Fortunately for us, the clouds came in a ...
