Finally crossed the border into South Australia.

We left Warrnambool and headed on round the coast. Finally managed to leave Victoria and have now entered South Australia. We decided to spend a couple of days at Mount Gambier which is built by an extinct volcano as there seemed to be a fair bit to do. Our first visit was to the Englebrecht Caves which run under the town and main road. We then visited the lakes which are in the craters of the volcanos. Was going to walk round them until we realised just how far it was so drove instead.

There was a small wildlife park so we walked round that instead. There were loads of roos and wallabies and even a couple of emus. We then went on to the Umpherson sinkhole which is a deep hole in the ground caused by the water seeping through the limestone and evenually causing a collapse. A garden had been made in itand possums come out at night to feed. Came back after dark with a nice fruit salad for the possums. Didn't realise how sharp their teeth are and their claws!
