Canberra wildlife

A wonderful afternoon here in the nation's capital. Escaping the Floriade frenzy currently happening in the city centre, we went for a walk in Mulligan's Flat. Wildlife count - a small mob of kangas, six sleepy lizards, and two echidnas. Having been appreciating US wildlife for the last three weeks (prairie dogs, chipmunks, squirrels, elks, deer, big horn desert sheep, and sea otters - pics forthcoming) it was great to see some exciting Australian wildlife so close to home. 






We then went on to Tallagandra Hill winery for tasting and sales (especially the tempranillo) and admiring the black faced Dorper lambs, and then home via Murrumbateman Winery (one of Canberra's oldest).
