Firmy's big trip.

[Stropp]

Good stuff mate, that great ocean road is pretty good eh and good to see the kids enjoying the trip too!

[BigRAWesty]

Awesome stuff mate.
We looked at the Heli flights a few years back when doing the south section of the road. Nit wrong about a small fortune.

So any plans for the first stint in sa?

No plans really mate we are heading towards Murray bridge to go to the monarto zoo and check out the Murray. Not sure what we will do between here and there. Any recommendations around mount gambier other than the blue lake?

I always go to the sunken gardens in Mt Gambier, they never cease to amaze me when i am there, also the caves on the way to kingston cant remember i think it tantanoola worth a look if you are there.

As Stropp said, Umpherston sinkhole is amazing, Piccaninnie Ponds are worth a look and Princess Margret Rose Caves on Glenelg River is impressive.

Yea mate check out the sink holes.
As your coming in in the dual hwy you'll see the lady Nelson (big flag sailing ship) on your right.
That's the local info Centre and they'll point you in the right direction for the caves. If you hit the MacDonalds round about you have gone to far..

If your keen to do a cave walk the Engelbretch cave is a must.. A small cost but guided tour.

Then if you wish to carry on the coast route the tantanola caves, but I'd suggest go inland and visit the naracourte caves.
Again a small fee but a great day, 4-5 different caves and a pretty cool expo center..

If you guys want gentle river cruze drop into Nelson before you get here, grab a river ride on the Endeavour and visit the princess Margaret rose caves.

Heaps to do. And your sticking to black top.
Got some of the best beach driving in aus along down this way. Sure items Fraser island, but great driving..

Thanks for the info Kallen. We stopped at Nelson for lunch on the river pretty nice spot. Got to mt gambier and decided to stay the night. Went for a look at the lakes and only made it as far as a big arse play ground at valley lake kids are running off some steam which is good.

Yes, the Princess Margret Rose caves are bloody great.

[happygu]

I was going to say definitely stop at Piccaninnie Ponds but you have already gone through....

Naracoorte Caves are worth a look, as is a beach drive from Beachport to Robe, although the Robe end can be fairly treacherous and you don't want to be on your own ... trust me.

Didn't realise you were here tonight. Woulda offered a beer and bbq.. But I'm about to head Off to work..

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.
