Great stuff Lynda! And good to hear it was raining in the valley,
most definitely needed.
Regarding the Emu in the paddock in Hartley (Brown's Gap Road) - that
farmer has kept an Emu for many years but often it's in another
paddock where it can't be seen from the road.
Speaking of Emus, I was lucky enough to go into the Burragorang
Valley Special Area (southern Blue Mountains) a couple of weeks ago
where we saw a number of wild Emus (among other things). I was told
that rumour has it they were introduced there a few years ago, but
no-one seems to know whether this is true or whether they've always
been there.

I picked up a friend for a trip to the Valley and a sleep over. Leaving the
Blue Mountains cloaked in mist and raining, we got to the bottom of Victoria
Pass and decided to take Browns Gap Rd. through to Lithgow , a few k's along
(before the Collits Inn turn off) we saw an Emu in a paddock on our right.
Yes I said Emu, Don't ask me how it got there!
