I woke up at 6 am and left the house at 6.30am.  We then traveled six and a half hours to S.A. This included stop overs as we ate at McDonalds whenever we stopped. However, there was a nasty twist when we got to the border between Victoria and South Australia. There was a huge sign, saying that all fruits, vegetables or live stock must not be brought over the border into S.A. It was simply because they could claim that we were trafficking these flies or fleas (I’m not sure, it was simply some bug!)  Unfortunately, we had brought lots of fruit to eat, because it would of rotted away if we left it at home. We then had a choice, to risk it and drive hoping that we’ll won’t be caught or to eat or chuck it out. WIth another glance at the huge sign, further on, it read:”Penalties have been raised”, and that convinced us not to risk anything. So, we were made to eat as much fruit as possible. I myself at an orange, a banana, an avocado and a fuji apple. Mind you, I was so full that I didn’t even eat lunch. Anyway, we then travelled on to the caravan park. (Remeber, if you are ever going to S.A, don’t bring any fruits with you!!!)

The Caravan we hired was rather small. It basically consisted of 3 rooms. From left to right, the first room on the left had a double bed in it. The room in the middle was the living room. It had a T.V, a basic kitchen and a booth and table in it. On the right, were two bunk beds. Unfortunately, there were no toilets in the caravan and you had to go out and use the public toilets. It was rather incovenient as I disliked the fact that I had to leave the warmth of the cabin.

We stayed there for two nights. (Oops, let me stick something in, I forgot to tell you that this all happened in Mt. Gambier!) We then went to the tourist attractions. These included the Valley lake, Blue Lake, Sink holes and the Centenery tower. Blue Lake was my favourite. It didn’t get it’s name for nothing. In summer, the colour of the lake goes intense blue, but in winter, it turns into a dull gray. From what the tour guide said, it is because the calcium carbonate (which is like a greyish colour) floats to the top of the water during winter. In summer, it sinks to the bottom of the lake, revealing the pure water the lake contains. The Sink hole was literally a hole in the middle of the town. Honestly, I thought it was rather boring, but the size of the Sink hole was big. We then went to the Centenary tower, which was constructed ontop of a mountain. It took us about 20 mins just walking up the steep face of the mountain to reach it. After that, we paid two dollars each to go up the Centenary Tower. Up in tower, it had a magnificent view over land. In summer, people use the tower as a bush fire look out area. We then spent the night back in our tiny caravan.

The next day, we headed to Port Ferry. On the way, we stopped at Portland and some wind farms. We didn’t really do anything at Port Ferry. It was more of a relaxing stay. After two torturous stays in a caravan, we finally got to sleep in a motel. Ashmont Motel was the name. Everything was rather posh and the beds even had electric blankets! I  had a good night sleep there and we then left the following morning to go back home.
