The Blue Lake - Mt Gambier, South Australia - lake in extinct volcano caldera

I know it is named the Blue Lake, but being an overcast late afternoon I expected the colour would be dull too, and I was blown away by the intensity of the blue, the photo does not do it justice. Apparently the colour is at its best around March
on the road again! safe trip! enjoy mt gambier

@jenrobcarr thanks, this is certainly not my best photo of the day, but it best represents the over night rest stop for day one

Wow, what a huge lake! It looks beautiful. Happy Trails.

Beautiful shot. Extinct is such a relative term :-)

great start to your trip, cool blue!

Gosh - you stayed the night in an extinct volcano?! Better not tell the kids they'll want to go...! Lovely shot, I bet the blue would be even bluer in the sunshine - found the same with lakes in Welsh mountains

Beautiful! I love the deep blue colour of the water :-)

Wow, that is gorgeous! I can't imagine how that blue could look any richer in real life. Sounds like a beautiful place to stay/ visit!

Fabulous shot of the lake! It's truly amazing, isn't it? I remember walking around it very pregnant wondering if I might go into labour! This photo brings back some nice memories for me. Ta!

@buggirl glad to bring some (more) happy memories for you. I'm really missing CI, but visiting places I have never been or not been to since I was a small child is distracting me

@jenrobcarr will do! Yesterday morning as I drove through Geelong I contemplated detouring through OG but in the end (as the turn off approached rapidly) I decided to press on towards SA border.
I am still undecided on my homewards route but intend to visit Werribee zoo and a few other places over that side of the Bay

Reminjds me of the blue and green lakes near Rotorus NZ, such an amazing colour!

@lbmcshutter - good to have distractions from CI. It is a magnet, isn't it?!?
