WOMBATS

It is a whole different thing to go to dinner in the country.  We were having dinner at a restaurant in Kangaroo Valley for my sister’s birthday.  They live on Woodhill Mountain, a 25 minute drive away.  The 4 of us got into their car as they thought it better that they drive the road – a quiet country road and it was dark at 6.30pm.  They warned us that they had to be careful as wombats were around on this road.  Wombats!!  We stopped 7 times on the way to Kangaroo Valley to allow these big boulder like animals cross the road.  Some just stood on the road, reluctant to move either cross the road or retreat to where they had come from. If we had collided with one of them, the car would have come off worse for wear.  After an enjoyable dinner in the restaurant, we stepped out into the 2 degree night for the trip home.  They were still out on the road, ambling around.  This time we stopped 4 times, but did make it home without mishap.
So different to going out to dinner in the suburbs!!
