I want to hitch hike to the Moon and this could be the start.
Somehow, managed to get a ride and we were on dirt road. Although slightly off the beaten track, Wombeyan Caves is a perfect weekend escape. On the way, we saw camel like animal grazing quietly in the bushes. 'It's llama', Caroline said. Irony, she's allergic to chocolate, to the extreme. I have never met anyone allergic to chocolate. I love them.

| Joeys in Pouch |
Many from our group had an overnight stay camping on a lush green picturesque location, bushland area setting with kangaroos around (with Joeys in pouch). We paid $18 per head and got a token ( literally, the door was token operated) into the Dark Depths of Wombeyan Caves. We spared 3 and half hours in and around the caves with head torch and sun hat replaced simultaneously.
After our cave exploring, we went to a beautiful historic town, Goulburn for lunch. This small town is known to be the oldest inland city in Australia and as such has some lovely historical buildings.

| Merino Ram |
Lunch in a local café and we headed for a big concrete Merino Ram wrapped around with a scarf.
The gift shop next to it had some Nepalese (Himalaya, on the tag) products on display. Although appealing, I ended up buying local hand made goat soap.

The war memorial lookout was next. One could see the whole town from the height; excellent view over Goulburn and the surrounding agricultural land.

4 hours of ride, back to Sydney and I was dozing off. Although a bit tiresome, it was a good escape.
