Hi Chris
You need to be at the right time of year to see the main Mt Gambier
lake at the vivid turquoise blue. November to March is best, as outside of this times it goes to a dull
grey blue.

Between Millicent and Mt Gambier, closer to Millicent, is the Tantanoola
Cave. This small dolomite
cave in a
limestone cliff is worth taking a tour. Dolomite caves have different structures to the usual stalagmites and stalactites. As the
cave is a ground level, there are no steps to climb.

Hi
If you are looking so an interesting diversion and heading up the coast towards
Robe, call into Beachprot and ask for directions to the high salt content
lake (Has a name but not with me me at the moment) It is only a couple of k's behind the town, 7 times saltier than the sea, warm as it is protected from teh wind and only 6-8 ft deep. Very strange sensation to swin in (on). You can sit in the water and read a book!!
Beachport is a nice place for a beer by the pier but b***y windy as all the coastal areas are.
cheers
