The drive out provided a stark reminder of the affects of the current lack of rainfall we have been experiencing over the last 6 months. Everything is so dry in south-east QLD due to missing our traditional wet season earlier this year.
Luckily the dams are still relatively full so the farmers can use water for their crops or, in this case, their lavender and vines.
Only in Australia, can you go to a winery with a stunning mountain backdrop and see Kangaroos and Wallabies amongst the vineyards.
This one is a Whiptail Wallaby (he/she has a white stripe on the face).
These ones are Eastern Grey Kangaroos
This one is carrying a joey in her pouch.

I love the photos of the wallaby amongst the vineyards - delightful. We have extended family with a lavender farm in Victoria.
looks to have been a super day for your drive together; what magnicent scenery and a special destination; beautiful photos Liz
I hate to say it, but the farmers don't know what's hit them yet - I think we are in for another extremely dry summer or two.
That said, this is a beautiful location and the photo of the wallaby in the crop rows with that majestic mountain range behind it is wonderful, as are all the others!
Dit zijn wel hele mooie foto,s de walibi tussen de bomen en de bergen op de achtergrond wel een zeldzaam mooie lokatie.
such beautiful scenes! sorry about your drought, though.
Oh, look at that little baby!!!
Everything does look really dry, Liz, but it sure did not take away from the beauty of these photographs. I am glad that the farmers still have enough water for their crops, and I hope you get some relief from this drought soon. xo.
Gorgeous skies! And I love the critter, the Wallaby and the kangaroos are adorable.. wonderful post and photos.
Beautiful! So "only in Australia" - love it.
Awesome landscapes, Liz! Love the kangaroos! Hope you get some rain. Our summer isn't going well right now.
