What a great day we have had. Very busy as we wanted to do as much as we could before leaving tomorrow. We did the tour of Engelbrecht Caves, a huge complex of limestone caves under the city. 19 houses and 4 streets are on top of these caves. We also toured the Tantanool Cave (a dolomite cave) filled with stalactites, stalagmites and helictites. We can all explain the differences! The sinkholes of City Garden and Umpherston were a draw card to photograph in t...

On route to Mount Gambier we spent time at the sea side town of Beachport. The jetty here a hive of activity as fishermen bring in the lobsters all throughout the day. Refrigerated trucks wait for the fresh catches and then transport them to Adelaide, Robe and other towns. Couldn't resist. The local co-op let us choose our lobster. Then he cooked, cut and cleaned for us ready for dinner tonight. At $85 a kilo the service was great! Driving around the town we f...

Woke this morning to a windless day, bit overcast. I went out for a big walk around Gr...

Lake Albert on the edge of town is a fresh water lake that feeds from lake Alexandrina...

Today was an easy rest day. We all slept in and then the girls and I went on a trip into Normanville and Yankalilla. Found the coolest park with exercise equipment, nearly the only bit of exercise I have done all holidays thus far. Cruised the shops and had checked out the Yankalilla bakery. We are getting very good at judging bakeries and so far the best bakery award goes to Yorketown. Stopped at an old church and cemetery fascinating looking at the old head...
