Interesting Facts!!

Here are a few interesting facts that we picked up along the way:

1.  Mt Gambier gets it’s water supply from the Blue Lake (and as a matter of fact I hated the taste. It tasted like bore water – luckily Mum bought some Geelong water with us.)
2. The Blue Lake holds 36,000 million litres of water and the residents consume 3,600 million litres annually.
3. There are many caves and tunnels under Mount Gambier that the water flows through (including Engelbrecht caves.)
4. The Blue Lake sits in the crater of an extinct volcano which erupted around 4,500 years ago.
5. The Mount Gambier volcano is considered to be one of the youngest in Australia.
6. Port MacDonnell calls itself the Southern Rock Lobster Capital of Australia, because of all the lobster caught there.
7. Cape Northumberland at Port MacDonnell is the southernmost point of South Australia.
