Cazzie went away for Easter. She took this fabulous picture of the Umpherstone Sinkhole at Mount Gambier in South Australia near the Victorian border. I want to see this for myself. Marvellous isn't it. I have never heard of it, let alone seen it. As Dorrie Evans used to say, why wasn't I told. There is a bit about its history here. Don't forget to click for a bigger picture.
I've never heard of it either but That.Pic.Is.Magnificent, Cazzie !
ReplyDeleteWow!
Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI have only seen the large blue pools in Mount Gambier.
I remember this place! We took a roadtrip to Mt Gambier with our neighbours when I was ten and we kids had a brilliant time running around and hiding behind the overhanging vines. I certainly don't remember it being that verdant, however.
ReplyDeleteAwesome picture, Cazzie!
Worth journeying to Crow Eater Land Jayne.
ReplyDeleteI have seen them too Colin. Dunno how we missed this.
Must get watered BC. Would be great for kids, I am sure.
Oops, now I have no doubt offended Colin with my first comment.
ReplyDeleteMy sink's got loads of green stuff growing in it too.
ReplyDeleteStunning photo Cassie! I wonder why more tourist stuff doesn't feature them or maybe it does and I just haven't noticed.
ReplyDeleteYour wife is neglecting her duties Brian. (give me a round of applause all, for my fishing effort. The failed one)
ReplyDeleteThat is why I posted it LiD. There are actually lots of pics of it on the net. But Cazzie drew me to it. I expect it is well publicised now if you go near Mount Gambier.
I went there years ago. It's a great place to wander around in. Vik.
ReplyDeleteAnd no doubt have photos too Vik. I hate not knowing about important places such as that.
ReplyDeleteI didn't recognise the name "Umpherstone Sinkhole", but looking at the picture (and others I've found on the web) it looks familiar and I think I visited once on a childhood camping trip. There is another great photo, this time from the the bottom of the hole looking up: http://www.kookynet.net/media/k1600-16_p-sinkhole-mtgambier.jpg
ReplyDelete"Umpherstone Sinkhole" is a brilliant name - it's going to be rolling around my mind all day.
Different perspective Altissima, thanks. The name is a classic isn't it. I think it is also known as the Hanging Gardens.
