The South Australian coastline.
One of the buildings from the olden days.
The beach at Robe.
Blue Lake crater.
The sink hole.
Another older style home.
This was a series of 10 statutes carved in honour of the ANZAC soldiers.
Although I am not religious, I do find some churches architecturally very attractive.
Sunday,
November 6th.
I
slept well and slept in. I decided to drive back a different route. I
headed south from Keith along secondary roads, to the coastal town of
Robe. This was a nice colonial looking tourist town complete with a
nice beach. There were many old buildings and a high street full of
shops, cafes and restaurants. I wandered around there for a bit and
had lunch before continuing south to Mt Gambier. This was a town I
was tempted to go to back in March, but it was too far away. Joel had
told me to check out Blue Lake here. This was an area of volcanic
activity a few thousand years ago. There was a large extinct crater
that was full of water that seeps in through the ground. The water
was a turquoise blue colour. Apparently it changes colour from this
to a dull grey colour based on the temperature or the seasons. It
reminded me of Crater Lake in Oregon, but was not as large or as
beautiful.
From
there I headed east back into Victoria and the long drive back to
Melbourne. I had thought of stopping at the Twelve Apostles area of
the Great Ocean Road but changed my mind when it became clear how
long it was going to take to drive home.
I
arrived home exhausted, after stopping at Woolworths for supplies, about 10pm.
