Let's see... hmmm... yes, saw a roo or two today at the Blackbutt Reserve near here. True, they were in captivity, but in a large area and doing what they pleased, which was being annoyed with the emus and grazing. Hope the photos turn out well. Then we saw all manner of koalas and they posed most nicely.

Forgot to mention in this morning's post about our visit yesterday afternoon with folks we met on the Indian Pacific three years ago. We've kept up with them and they live at the entrance to the Hunter Valley. They invited us for tea. Great fun to catch up.

Almost packed and ready to begin the arduous journey home tomorrow. But first, a barbecue at our hosts'.

We are so glad to have had this opportunity to visit and see a new world. But we'll be ready to get back to our old one.
