Robe was a friendly little town. I went to the Caledonian for a drink and dinner (they had a roast and cider special). It was built in about 1856 I think. Looks like an old English pub. It was very busy and heaps of kids all dressed up for Halloween.
So windy this morning and not very pleasant for a walk. This is the coldest I have been in about 4 months! They have some lovely shops and cafe's. The Providore was very nice and great coffee and sourdough bread. The caravan park is probably the best I have stayed in over the past 4 months. Great facilities and really good camp kitchen and great views and right on the beach and a walk into town. (Seavu caravan park).
Everybody in Robe recommended a drive through Beachport. I stopped in a little gift shop and the woman there was very friendly and had only opened her business a few months ago. I will look for her card and mention it was it was a great little place. It is a pretty little place on the water with a long pier but again very windy and not pleasant for a walk. It was gusty while driving and very hard to keep the van on the road again.
After Robe I drove through Millicent to Mt. Gambier. I had been to Mount Gambier when I was 6 years old and I remembered the Blue Lake. I also drove out to Mount Schank. It is a volcano hole and you walk up heaps of steps to the top and can walk around it. Again very windy and I am creeped out by heights but enjoyed the view into the volcano (I think it erupted 5,000 years ago).
I also had a look at the sinkholes with the gardens in them. A nice town. Driving out of Mount Gambier through Casterton and Coleraine the countryside was lush and green and cows and sheep munching away. Beautiful undulating hills - a pleasant drive. I have pulled up at camps spot 642. Very nice and off the highway at Wannon Falls.
