We did some sightseeing before we left town, start at the Umpherston Sinkhole. This was a private garden developed in the late 19th century and has been left free for all the public to enjoy as it was intended.


We saw a few furry animals out which were unexpected during the day and they were more than happy for people to get close.




We saw Blue Lake and the colour really is amazing to see. It turns blue over a few days in November and stays this colour until March. It remains grey the rest of the year. This water is the town water supply and has only dropped 2m in depth over the last 25 years (it is 70m deep).


We had a quick look at the Valley Lake via a lookout as the Legend of the Hills race was on and so access was blocked. We could see the cars and hear them race but it wasn't a great view at such a distance.

We drove through Lower Glenelg National Park which there was any points of interest along the way. We drove through Tarragal where we had lunch on a nice lake and then continued to Cape Bridgewater.



Cape Bridgewater is a nice little town and quite popular. We went to the blowholes which we didn't see blowing but the way the waves were travelling and crashing against each other were unique and interesting to watch.
A short walk lead us to the petriefied forest.




We arrived at Mt Clay State Forest where we were to free camp. There was a mountain bike event on this weekend so it was 50% full from mountain bikers and 50 % usual campers. Nevertheless, still ample room for everyone.
