Mt. Gambier is home to a series of wonderful lakes created by volcanic activity of long ago. One lake in particular is Blue Lake. It is quite spectacular - it turns blue in early November each year and remains this color for 6 months or so. The water then reverts back to a grayish shade, typical to other lakes in the region. Researchers are unsure of the reason for this phenomenon - but the water is extremely pure and contains very few minerals or other particulate matter.Other lakes in the area are also very nice, typical of other lakes you've seen. However, Blue Lake is a very special thing to see. The only other lake this color we've ever seen is Lake Louise in Banff, Alberta Canada. The town is quaint and offers several campgrounds for Caravans1
