Really pretty. Surprisingly there are quite a few little hidden trails in the garden to make it a magical place for a toddler too. Truly a beautiful place to visit... and lots of room for a picnic lunch, or grab an icecream from.the little kiosk.

The Blue Lake in Mount Gambier is a beautiful scenic venue for casually strolling around and if inclined you can do a Park Run at 8 am on a Saturday morning taking in the majestic old volcano holding the towns water supply. Fantastic colour at the right time of the year . Also enjoy the coffee and cakes at the cafe after a tour of the water pumping station. Excellent.

Never seen the Valley Lake before, as the Blue Lake is the biggest attraction. Big hard to find, but travel via caravan park road. Seen jet ski and ski boat on lake. Great wildlife park right next door seeing Kangaroos and Wallabies.

Not a hard climb as there are concrete steps and plenty of places to stop. It’s about 130m from the car park. The walk around the volcano rim is spectacular with amazing views. It’s a bit dangerous in parts with loose gravel and the path is sometimes close to the cliff edge.

We have rarely been disappointed stopping at visitor centres in Victoria and this one was no exception. A very knowledgeable lady filled us up with info and brochures and offered suggestions for people of our vintage to go and see and enjoy. The museum was very informative. There is plenty of parking and the toilets were spotless. One suggestion, when you drive out the exit, take it easy as the slope to the street has quite a bump at the end. If your car is low, be careful.

If you haven't visited a library for a few years, come and take a look. The library of today is probably not the place you remember. Our children's area is a delight to explore with a replica cave for them to explore. Along with free internet computers, Wi-Fi and materials to loan the library also hosts The Bookmark Cafe with views overlooking the cave garden.

The defunct Mount Gambier Rail Lands have been converted into a walking and cycling path that is suitable for people of all ages to use. The paths are wide and flat - a perfect place to take the kids for a bike ride. The central section of the Rail Lands has a lovely playground and "wetlands" area for the kids to play along with a BBQ area. It a nice safe area centrally located! Love it!
