Hunter Valley and Aggressive Kangaroos at the HV Zoo

Not sure we can top this day.  What more could people want ... Wine, cheese, AND patting kangaroos, wombats and koalas.  It can't get any better, can it?  At the Hunter Valley Zoo, we strolled through kangaroo paddocks, patting and feeding the Roos (look for the Joey). We were in roo heaven.  Then we got to pat a koala and a wombat, and see the most colorful birds.  Very relaxing day.  

In between looking at Roos, we tasted Semillion wine at several wineries.  This has now become my favorite wine (sorry Happy Valley Winery) but we don't think we can buy it back home. Drew is going to check with his wine guy to see if he can buy some for us.  

On the way back to Sydney, we took the scenic drive through Wollombi to see some of the original convict buildings and drive on the road they built.
