Flying through South Australia

Blue Lake - Mt Gambier

We drove into South Australia this morning.

Instead of the ticker-tape parade we were expecting, there was a large quarantine bin in which we had to deposit all of our fruit and veges.

So, because I hate wasting food, we sat on the roadside and worked our way through a punnet of nectarines, a punnet of lychees, a punnet of cherry tomatoes, three carrots and two bananas before deciding that the rest would just have to go in the bin!

A sinkhole with a beautiful garden - Mt Gambier

First stop was Mt Gambier where we looked at the fascinating Umpherstone Sinkhole and beautiful Blue Lake.

Then Max, Evie and Lukas all decided they were exhausted and slept in the car for most of the afternoon. So we just kept on driving and got a fair way towards Adelaide!

Tonight we're camping at the Coorong along with the pelicans and thinking about Storm Boy.
