The Great Ocean Road – The Blue Lake – Mount Gambier
While finishing odd the
Great Ocean Road we visited the Waworong Lookout up on the rim, looking down on The
Blue Lake, just outside of
Mount Gambier. Waworong Lookout gets its name from the aboriginal Booandik Tribe’s word for ‘Blue Lake’. The Blue Lake supplies water for the
City of Mount Gambier and gets its name quite simply from the bright blue colour of the water. In a couple of days each November the water turns a vivid blue, then after summer, usually in late March it gradually fades until the water is grey during the winter.
