Mount Gambier

My DH and I spent a lovely 4 nights in Mt Gambier, just over the border of Victoria in South Australia.
Mt Gambier is well know for it's limestone, blue lake and caves. We took a nice long walk around the blue lake, which isn't as blue in winter but still looked pretty nice to us
My trusting husband stood beside this sign and let me take a photo of him. The sign says "Ugly, but harmless!" The sign is about the millipedes that have taken over the area however I thought hubby was better suited to it!
This is one of the holes that cave divers use in Engelbrecht caves. This was my favourite cave out of them all. The water is so clear that it looks as if the rock shelves are near the surface however, they are 4 metres down.
Peter and I in front of the Wedding Cake formation in Alexandra Caves. Lots of stalactites and stalacmites which were quite cool to see.
This has to be my favourite photo from our trip. We were in Alexandra Caves and there was a small stalactite formation hanging from the roof, with a clear puddle of water underneath. The reflection on the water was amazingly clear. It looks like a castle underneath the caves.
Overall a lovely few days away but boy is it good to be home. I got almost no crochet done as we were really busy seeing the sights.
