| Leonard Cohen Concert, Rochford Winery |
On Friday we drove to Healesville in the Yarra Valley - a fantastic Winery area. Our son Tony joined us from Melbourne on Saturday in order to go to the Leonard Cohen concert in the Rochford Winery. We arranged for a bus to pick us up so we could enjoy the wonderful (and expensive) Rochford wine without having to worry about driving back.
The concert was amazing with a superb atmosphere in the grounds of the winery! It was hard to believe that Leonard Cohen is now 75. His backing group and vocals were all fantastic musicians in their own right. Roger is a massive Leonard Cohen fan and when he heard he was doing a world tour and performing in Spain, we intended going to the concert in Valencia in August, but we were in the Balearics. We were back in the UK at the end of November and Roger was kicking himself when he found out Leonard Cohen had been in London the week before! So when Tony mentioned he was in Australia we just had to go.
On the Sunday, Tony’s wife Lisa joined us and we visited Healsville Sanctuary, which is a small wildlife park with only Australian animals and I finally got to see a Duckbill Platypus! The sanctuary tries to restore sick animals and release them back into the wild whenever possible.
WILDLIFE: Ibis (in campsite), Duckbilled Platypus and live Wombat plus lots more at Healsville Sanctuary.
