Little Blue Lake
Twelve kilometres (7 mi) south west of Mount Gambier, accessed by taking the turnoff by the Bellum pub, is the Little Blue Lake. It is one of a number of small nearby lakes whose waters also used to turn blue annually. However, pollution from agricultural fertilizers has increased the nutrient levels of these lakes to the extent that they now remain a year-round green colour. Swimming is discouraged and signs for the presence of blue-green algae have been erected.
