We met up with some Emus taking a stroll through a national park we were visiting. There were a few
kangaroos around as well but we weren't close enough to get a photo.
We spent a couple days in Mt. Gambier and the main attraction is the Blue Lake you see in the photos.
It is the crater left from the youngest volcano in Australia even though it hasn't been active for over a
million years. The water in the lake turns a brilliant sapphire blue in the summer then fades to grey during the winter months. We took some photos from Hoo Hoo Lookout and thought the sign was pretty funny.
We are in Southern Australia at this time and are heading for the Barossa Valley which is a huge wine
and fruit growing area. There are tons of vineyards that stretch for miles and miles over the landscape.
It's like being in "wine heaven", so I guess we'll have to sample some of the local fare.
