Drift Snorkelling down Eight Mile Creek, South Australia
There is a series of well known freshwater ponds and channels called Ewens Ponds near Mount Gambier in South Australia that are popular with scuba divers and snorkellers. What is less well known and not completely obvious is that there is creek that goes from the 3rd pond to a seldom visited 4th pond and then continues all the way to the coast. It's called 'Eight Mile Creek' although it doesn't get it's name from it's length but rather because where it finishes at the coast is about eight miles to the east of Port MacDonnell. It's closer to 2 kilometers in length.
When in the channels and creek you can drift along effortlessly and enjoy the ride due to the constant downstream water flow. It's a really nice trip that takes just over an hour with crystal clear water most of the time. Unlike most of the freshwater activities in Mount Gambier which one needs to be a qualified cave diver to experience, this one can be enjoyed by anyone who can swim although a thick wetsuit is recommended as the water seldom gets above 16 degrees centagrade.
