Murray River Crossing, Kingston Lobster, & Blue Lake

The details of the blue lake...Mt Gambier has about 23,000 people and industry includes timber, paper pulp factory, and a huge wind generation farm that the visitor can drive around to view...quite a nice town.




Here is a shot of Mt Gambier's most famous landmark - the Blue Lake. It is a ex volcano that houses this large body of water and during summer months turns into this vivid blue colour that you can see here - quite unique...




On our way to Mt Gambier in the far south east of SA we passed through Kingston where this lobster resides. All along this coast fish and lobsters are caught (by others - not me!)





After slowly (very) packing up and saying goodbyes we left Carrickalinga on New Years Day at 4.00pm!! A couple of hours down the road and we were in Wellington for the night and the next morning packed up and crossed a swollen Murray River by ferry a short distance from the caravan park! The ferry could accommodate about 10 vehicles each trip...
