A weekend in Kurri Kurri, NSW

G'day dear mates! Jasmin and I have just returned from a family visit to the country metropolis of Kurri Kurri! Surrounded by the coal industry this beautiful place is situated in the center of virtually loads of entertainment, cultural heritage and wildlife as well as recreational areas. Not to forget, the Hunter Valley, one of Australia's most famous wine areas, has to be considered when thinking about why this place is so much at ease.

My first alive Grey Kangaroo!!!! Most of the time you can approach and watch them sleeping very close by the streets (vom vierrädrigen Schicksal an den Fahrbahnrand gespühlt).

No comment.

My smackaroo and a pavlova - a typical Australian dessert. Even the lightest desert may cause health issues..

Summed up: The weekend was cheerful and we had plenty of physical rest, food and drinks. (Probably no more food this week, otherwise I have to buy larger Jeans.) I was able to give my knee a break, which is probably not too bad. Many places were beautiful to see, e.g. the cliffs in Newcastle, the Mountains (hills for Europeans) in the Upper Hunter or Lake Macquarie. Only, the time was too short to enjoy the wildlife much this time. We probably know places to come back to some day. The Hunter Valley is a must for every person who likes a good wine or two.
If there is something that Australians can do almost as good as Germans then it is a barbecuing. (If there is something, Australians cannot, it is making good sausages.)
Catch ya later!
