Cities & Places - MILLICENT - PORT
MACDONNELL (South Australia)
The Millicent Shell Garden
 |
Few years ago a nice stop in the region was
a garden where it was possible to walk through a collection
of statues, sculptures, ‘painting’, .... completely
handcrafted by a couple of old people, with shells or pieces
of glass. The diversity was incredible and it was a must to
be seen.
Unfortunately, according to some information
received from a trailer, the garden is not opened to public
anymore.

And before leaving Milicent
do not forget to collect the unique One
Milicent Note
For the amateur, the region offers also an opportunity to visit
some caves. We personally selected the Tantanoola
caves and we enjoyed the visit. (It must be specially great
during the summer when it is hot outside ...).
Just after Tantanoola we are reaching to Mt
Gambier where it is possible to visit the  , interesting to see
and very good to provide help.
Due to our late arrival they advised us to visit
the Umpherston
Caves, located very near to the city.

| It is a kind of big
hole covered by the vegetation (palm trees, ...), some stairs
give the possibility to go down and see it under different angles.
Very interesting. |

As the Princess Hwy continues its way quite far
from the coast we are leaving it to take the road in direction
of Port Mac Donnell. On the way we have the opportunity to see
the Blue
Lake and the Valley Lake. According to the information I read,
sometimes during the year the Blue Lake has a very special Blue
color. I have to say it was not the case when we saw it. |

Around Port
MacDonnell there are a lot of scenic vues from the coast
(Frog Rock, Camel Rock).
The road is now going left in the
direction of the Great Ocean Road
