We’ve spent about 10 days in Mount Gambier so far and we have hardly seen the sun. We assume it’s there because it gets faintly light for about nine hours and then goes dark again.

There wasn’t much rain initially, just lots of fog, cloud and drizzle. That changed in the last couple of days with consistent rain, sometimes heavy.

There’s nothing unusual about rain in south-east South Australia, especially at this time of year, but we had nearly forgotten what winter rain is like after two years at Kalgoorlie.

I actually like the sound of rain on a tin roof.

If time permits I’ll visit the racetrack tomorrow. The Border Watch sponsors the first event.
