After the main event - the Blue Mountains, we traveled a bit down the hill to lunch
For lunch the guide let us out in Leura Garden Village. We walked a bit, but it was pretty warm, so we found a little café, the Wayzgoose café. I ordered their specialty, flowerpot scones. My they were good – I just ordered one, so worth it because it was fun and different. The tiny café has a web site so we’re not all that isolated: www.wayzgoose.com.au. The weather began to break as we ate our lunch – Michael had spaghetti, which he slurped down with alacrity. The thunder started to rumble overhead as we ate. But we didn’t think much of it. Oh, the scone came with whipped butter, marvelous!
As we drove from Leura the thunder increased, breaking the heat and expanding into a full-blown storm – pouring, torrential rain. From here we were scheduled to visit a wildlife park – pet the koala and all that. Did a little rain stop us? Did a whole lot of torrential – fire hose spraying you down kind of rain stop us? It did not. The guide loaned us umbrellas and we marched right into a petting zoo of sorts, with wallabies and Kangaroos and emus jumping around free and easy. The wombats weren’t out, and the Tasmanian devil was behind bars. We petted the kangaroos and I saw a mother and baby in her pouch close up, I was thrilled! And I admit that petting the patient koala was very fun. We have a picture. I don’t look good. I never looked good on this trip – not once, but what the hell, I didn’t know anyone, so it didn’t matter.
We then, in the pouring torrential rain, toured the Olympic park; we didn’t even get out of the bus it was raining so hard. I discovered the boy’s electronic yahtzee game and glanced up at the facilities while playing my threes. I lost a lot of games.
The challenge with this huge stadium at the park is that it’s so big, what do you put into it? The money lost on a daily basis is staggering. So that’s a lesson for all us event planners. Although I don’t know what the lesson is.
