The Hunter Valley

Yesterday we toured through the Hunter Valley, one of Australia's premiere wine areas. It rained in the morning, but stopped shortly after noon. The area is very lush and the grapes are just to be picked. Stopped at cellar doors for companies we find in the US (DeBortoli, McWilliams) and those we don't (Cooper). Fun day.

Today we are off to a park and I heard the word 'kangaroo' being batted about. Maybe...?

Tonight is a barbecue and we have to--egad!--PACK! Tomorrow, we return the car and fly home.

One can have just so much fun, y'know, before you have to go home and rest up from vacation.
