I'm Hiding Lemons in my Guitar Case...

Got out of Narrawong  having almost convinced our bikie neighbours, (the one on the Harley was Keith) that we had some idea that we knew what we were doing. That was until I drove past them all having breakfast, with the caravan's jockey wheel still down. Laughs and knowing nods all around. Still, it had been a brilliant place to stay, and the kids loved the space.
We didn't have far to go before our next stop, and I negotiated the almost drive through spot perfectly until Sara reminded me which side the annex was on! Nelson is a pretty place. This campsite is in a lot of bushland, and if you love fishing with ferals, it's heaven.
We went for an explore, with a walk around the estuary. The highlight for the kids was the dead and very stinky wallaby next to the boardwalk. The highlight for me was the discussion about what to do with our fruit and vegies because we're not allowed to take them over the border into South Australia. Ollie piped up with a bizarre fact which proved strangely relevant. Apparently Johnny Cash used to smuggle his drugs around when on tour in his guitar case; maybe we could do the same with the fruit? Sara started singing, and now I've written a country song, hence the title of this blog.
Next morning, Ivy vomited a lot, and so Sara and she missed out on the boat trip up the Glenelg River to the Princess Margaret Rose caves. Ollie, Ned and I had a good time anyway. Happily, after a lot of games of Uno & Rummikub, Ivy came good, and was running around with the boys after dinner.
This morning, we went on an estuary discovery tour, so those of you worried about whether the kids are learning anything can sit back down. We caught some tiny fish called smelt, and learnt about the local eel that swims up the east coast of Australia to spawn in the Coral Sea (again, why wouldn't you). We then drove to Mt Gambier eating all the fruit we could very sneakily. In Mt Gambier, we went straight to the Blue Lake, and a more apt name you could never find. Kids were underwhelmed, but Sara and I thought it amazing, despite the fact that we never did find out why it is so blue.
Tomorrow the kids and I will hopefully go snorkeling in one of the local freshwater ponds before we leave for Narracorte and 5 days in a fancy park. Kids very excited about the fact that it's a Big 4. I'm excited because there are a lot of wineries very close by!
