"City and country meet"
If you're looking for a combination of city facilities and small town charm, look no further.
Mount Gambier has most major outlets while maintaining the feel of a country town. Suburbia can be driven from end to end in 10 minutes, before switching to rural living. all the comforts you want, with the attractive rural backdrop.
Mount Gambier is a tourist destination for those driving between Melbourne and Adelaide, with many hotels and motels spread throughout town as well as natural attractions in the Blue Lake and sinkholes, restaurants and a large tourist information centre.
The main drawback is the trucking traffic. As a major stop halfway between Melbourne and Adelaide, with logging trucks ferrying the produce of the Mount Gambier pine plantations, truck traffic is high.

We are seriously thinking of mt gambier or millicent after two visits. We figure we can go over to melbourne when we like if we need some excitement or a change. Are they nice towns to live in? Widi, my husband is Indinesian. We are social and well travelled and want a country life.
Sorry about typos. On my phone in a car.
It has some heat food places. Very picturesque. 3o kms from beach. Good music scene. Nice architecture. Friendly. Were going.
