I just got back from a little four-day getaway to Drik Drik.
Drik Drik is a tiny little place which is now little more than a bunch of farms that roughly gravitate around the location, but in the 19th and early 20th century it was a proper small town - with two churches, a school, post office and general store, etc. The old schoolhouse has been converted into B&B accommodation, which is where we stayed. This was very very cute, unique, and memorable!
The trip was initially going to be based around just exploring the immediate Drik Drik area and nearby Lower Glenelg National Park, but then we decided to go to
Portland a day earlier and spend a day just across the border in
South Australia instead. This was a very good decision, because that corner of South Australia turned out to be much cooler than we expected!
The day trip into South Australia was a whirlwind tour indeed! We fitted in
Piccaninnie Ponds,
Mount Schank, and various sites in
Mount Gambier into only a few hours.
The second day was much more relaxed - with just some easy exploration of Lower Glenelg National Park and a visit to
Princess Margaret Rose Cave.
Then on the way home on the fourth day, we swung past Byaduk Caves.
Here are a bunch of pics from the trip, in chronological order:
