Day 218 – 07 March 2010: A Lake of Sapphire


It will take two days to get to Melbourne. At lunch time we stop at Mt Gambier, the ‘Mount’ actually being a range of volcanic craters, one of which is now a saline lake, which changes colour with the seasons. Today it is the richest blue.

Tonight’s bush camp is by a scout station and, quelle surprise, it’s raining. There is a vast lake nearby, but this one is far from blue. In fact the ground around it is bouncy & wobbly, like we’ve landed on strange sponge like planet. The mud looks like it could swallow a person whole.
