Mount Gambier - Mar 23

Wallabies at the camp last night

We woke up in the morning and decided to head straight into Portland for coffee and breakfast. There were a lot of ants at the campsite and Di was a little freaked out! In Potland we found a nice cafe on the waterfront and ordered some breakfast. They had a WiFi connection, though it was sketchy. Nevertheless we managed to connect with Harold and Priscilla on Skpe. It always feels good to connect with familiar faces from home. It put us in a good mood for the rest of the morning. The destination for the day was Mount Gambier, about 90 minutes down the road. We arrive in the town just as the rain settled in for the day. A quick trip to the information centre and we settled on a caravan park right in the heart of the town. A good choice considering the weather. In town we strolled over to the Main Street Centre where there is a video presentation of the forming of the volcanic lakes and sink hole caves in the area, as well as maritime history of the area. The films and presentations were great to watch and there was a cool sinkhole/ garden area behind the Centre. We had a coffee and lunch on Main street before heading back to the campsite for showers and laundry.

The rest of the evening was, let me think... Oh yes, miserable! The wind blew strong and gusty and the rain never let up., did I mention it was cold! We spent the time in the van reading and talking.
