This is a caldera lake that is a volcanic crater. It is a good place to stop by during a road trip from Melbourne to Adelaide, and it is said to be a strange lake that shows a bright blue color only between November and March. If you have time, you can take a walk around the lake on the walking trail. When I was traveling with my child, I explained that it was a kind of imaginary lake like Baekdu Mountain and Hallasan Mountain, so he was much more interested in seeing it. If you are planning a road trip, be sure to stop by. #Melbourne #Adelaide #RoadTrip #AustraliaRoadTrip #MountGambier
