Day 3 February 17, 2010

Koala eating leaves in Eucalyptus tree.

After lunch, Lou drove us home to Heronswood, a beautiful bluestone chateau built in 1871.

The drive went past farmland with cattle grazing and also hectares(like acres) of vineyards covered with netting to protect the grapes from the birds.

We arrived in time for tea; lemon verbena in hot water-yummy, met some of the Diggers staff and had a brief tour of the house and grounds, all before we unloaded the car!

We chose bedrooms in the house, and were just getting ready to change out of travel clothes when Lou hurried back to Heronswood to get us. She had been on her way walking home after work, when she spied a young Koala in a neighbor's Eucalyptus tree. So after only being in Australia for 8 hours, we spotted our first Koala! Thanks Lou
