A Wombat's Brekky

We're departing the Featherdale Animal park after a wonderful interactive experience with all of Australia's unique wildlife. Mum and Dad got to pose with koalas, wallabies, kangaroos and the like. Our favorite was the wombat, who spent most of the morning asleep, and could only be bothered to have a breakfast of cabbages and carrots. He was about the size and demeanor of a furry pig - sans the snout.

We're climbing in elevation towards the Blue Mountains where we will take a brisk hike before settling down for a picnic. Perhaps a short walk after lunch with the obligitory Three Sisters photo vista, then heading home to a barbie on the beach.

The folks seemed to be impressed with Sydney, constantly remarking on how clean and pretty it is. Good to hear that we're taking them to the right places.
