A couple of night things to do..
Humperston caves sometimes have possums out. A nice night like this they should be out and about.

But also the town center has a sound and light show in the cave gardens.

Enjoy the stay mate.

My bad mate I wasn't sure if we were going to stop here or not I should've let you know earlier but when we got here and had a bit of a look around we couldn't go on with out stopping for the night. I think I have found my new favorite country town the old buildings are amazing especially the pubs we had dinner at Jens hotel one of the best looking old pubs I've ever seen.

Have to stay another day now....

Have a fantastic time! Stay safe.

Yea it is like a big country town.
A little embarrassing as it was SA's second city till a few years ago..
The old buildings are well looked after.
In the morning head on up to the old hospital which is finally coming down.
Top of the hill, lake tce runs along the front of it.
A bit sad as its a lot of history, but it was an eye sore. Only shut around 15 years ago and was well known as a paranormal chasers heaven.. Lol

Anyway enjoy the stay. Always next time..

Fyi, I woulda gone Jens over a bbq anyway lol

Loved Mt Gambier, I will definitely be going back there for a longer stay next time we are over this way. The sinkholes are amazing and the blue lake is pretty spectacular aswell.

We are in Adelaide now for a couple of nights and have decided to head back to WA a bit quicker than planed due to the hot weather that's we will be getting on the way home. For some reason my wife doesn't want put up with to many days of mid 40 temps, and 5 weeks in the car with two 4 year olds and a 14 week old baby is starting to wear a bit thin, so instead of a few days at streaky bay with 40+ deg days we reckon we might push it a bit and have a few days in Esperance where it should be a fair bit cooler by the time we get there.

Pity you are going to miss out on Streaky Bay, it is great over there and the oysters are as good as they get.

Yes I would play it by ear, if the temps are reasonable I would go streaky bay over esperance any day hot or not, hire a aircon cabin :)

Yeah it's a shame but we(my wife) decided that we(she) wouldn't enjoy it that much when its 43 deg. Will just have to put it on the list for next time. I think I may have talked her into going to Esperance instead so it's not all bad.

Always next time. Hope you enjoyed the stay.
Yea you picked a bad time for travel, it's humid down this way.
Enjoy the drive home..

Gotta keep the mrs happy, breast feeding hormones and hot weather aren't a good mix at the moment. lol

And going to Esperance means I can see wave rock on the way home. Another sight to tick off the list.
