Mt. Gambier
Despite covering some 11,000km and it being six months since I was in Tennants Creek, I met a couple I camped with all the way back there in the N.T. I was in a small little random bit of parkland on the edge of Mt. Gambier making a sandwich when I heard a female voice going ‘get the f*#k out of here!’ I though I’d done something wrong, it took a little while to recognise the faces 
I met these two back in Tennants Creek at the campsite in town and then again on the road up to Darwin. Only a few days ago I was thinking about the trailer they were towing their stuff around in. It has a map of Australia on the side and they trace the route they cover as they drive along, it’s a cool idea. I have lots of random thoughts as I’m riding but I was even more surprised when I saw them again considering. We spent a few hours trading stories of misadventure but eventually I had to get going again. I want to enjoy the ride along the Great Ocean Road which I will be getting to soon, so I wanted to notch up another few km’s before dark.
What was Mt. Gambier like? Well its a very pretty town built near a few volcanic craters one of which provides the town with its water and its main tourist attraction. On the edge of the town is a crater lake which turns a vivid shade of bue over the period of a few days every summer. Its incredibly beautiful. Also around the town are a series of sinkholes which have ben turned into mini parks. I’d liked to have spent a little more time here but travelling like I am, being on a short 12 month visa and having a ticket for the GP I need to keep going.
