Yesterday we toured the area, seeing Lake Macquarie, then going to the Blackbutt Reserve. This is a city maintained park with a large Koala exhibit and a large fenced area that contains Emus, Wallaby's, Grey Kangaroos and the larger Red Kangaroos. We really enjoyed our first sightings of these native animals.
We spent quite a bit of time watching the Koalas. They did not move around, but would curl up in a ball and take a nap, occasionally waking up to look around. I got several good pictures of them as you can see in the rotating picture displayed on my main page.
Last evening was an Evans' Family BBQ. It was nice to meet all the people we've been hearing about. Among other things, I had some good conversations comparing American and Australia sports.
Today we are up early and headed for Sydney. Pat and Robert want to show us some of the sights around Darling Harbor then the girls have a couple of shopping districts to visit while Robert and I will visit some interesting museums. Should make for a fun day!
