Across the Border

PORTLAND Today we left Port Fairy and headed towards Mount Gambier which is across the border in South Australia. Along the way we called in to Portland, it looked very pretty, magnificent old buildings and a lovely bay but alas the eyesore is the aluminium smelter.
UMPHERSTON SINKHOLE Mount Gambier is the city of craters, lakes, caves and sinkholes due to the limestone and underground water. This sinkhole is near the city and the original farmer created this garden within it. We visited one in the city but if you are in Mount Gambier - don't bother, Paul reckons it should be filled in and a car park put there.
VIEW FROM OUR CARAVAN PARK Don't be surprised to see some cow photos from now on as there really are some great photos to be had with their surroundings. If we hadn't had the caravan on board today I would of made Paul turn back as there were some cows beside a church and I could just see the caption "Holy Cow".
