Day eleven


We were going to watch a documentary a the Main Corner after brekky, so we got everything that we needed and headed off at about 10:30am. The documentary was very informative. It told us how the Blue Lake was formed and showed us why this happens. The documentary took about one hour so it was lunchtime when it finished. 

We went to have a look at the cave garden which was very beautiful. Mum and Dad were pretending to take photos of us next to the cave to distract us while they ran away. We had to give chase and finally caught up at the top of the stairs, laughing.


 After the garden we went to a food store to get something to eat for lunch. We then decided to have lunch with a view of Blue Lake.We had a delicious lunch of meat and salad sandwiches, while admiring the Blue Lake. The lake was an amazing turquoise colour but the middle was going a dull grey.

 After lunch we headed to the Lady Nelson Discovery Centre where we were taking a self-guided tour back through time of Mount Gambier. The lady at the front desk gave Tim, Sarah and I an information hunt where we had to find information about someone or something. We had a look at the Lady Nelson but couldn't go into the boat. We also watched a holograph of a person who use to work with the aboriginals. After the tour we took our info hunt back to the front desk and got a lucky prize for getting it all right. We got a postcard and magnet. 



We then headed off to Grandpapa's house again. When we arrived at grandpapa's place had the fishing gear out. He told us stories from when he used to go fishing. He then took us into his garage and showed us some of the things he has had since my mum was a little girl. Grandpapa also asked Dad if he could have a look at some tyres for the trailer. We then had a look around the garden and fed the ducks and geese. We headed off to the pub called The Commercial again and this time I had the huge bowl of icecream too!
