We left Victor Harbor and considered driving all the way home, but it would have been another epic drive, so instead we decided to stop at Mount Gambier, Troy's stomping ground for about a year while he worked on the hospital there some 20 years ago. Along the way we stopped at Naracoorte for a lovely pub lunch, drove through yet another wine region, apparently SA soil is only good for grape growing. Well, that and sheep farming! We arrived at Mount Gambier and set up camp for the final time, almost on the same site in the same park Troy had stayed in, before heading off to explore the town.
Troy showed us where he played baseball while he stayed here, as well as Blue Lake, Mount Gambier's water supply and main attraction!!
It wasn't very blue on this winter's day, but we got the idea! We went back to the park, where the kids enjoyed their last bounce on the jumping pillow for this holiday, before we headed out to dinner at the local Chinese restaurant. The food was good, but Turtle Den is better!!
We finished the night with a family selfie, and bed!
