Six Mile Inn Cairn (Mt Gambier) SA

Neil’s sister Janis has been researching the Alexander family tree and discovered a bit of history about our grandmother’s great grandfather, Robert Adams (our great great great grandfather). He built a pub just north of Mount Gambier in 1865; which was demolished in 1901 but there is a memorial cairn acknowledging it on the Riddoch Highway (maplink).

Our task was to locate the memorial cairn, which we did!

Here is a bit of history about it all…
