Treasure hunting amongst the trees

The Everyday Adventure

Another afternoon we were all desperate to get outside and explore. We found a trail that followed a rocky path along the river, through big boulders and over sand. There were so many treasures to collect and details to take in. The guide said this was a 30 minute walk but it took us 2 hours. These little legs have to stop at every flower, seed, leaf and stick along the way. 

Tree house for two

The Everyday Adventure

Tree climbing is fast becoming one of their favourite activities. Where the big girl goes, the little one is sure to follow, even if her abilities don't quite match her enthusiasm. We found an amazing tree whose trunk was so big you could build a little house inside. It was kid heaven.

Sandy hair, salty air

The Everyday Adventure

Winter is starting to disappear and there are glimpses of warmth and the sun in spring. For me there is something about a trip to the beach that lifts my spirits. It's the sand, the crashing waves and the salty air and it is pretty hard to beat. We explored the trails through the sand dunes, watched the waves on a deserted beach and ended the afternoon covered in sand from head to toe. 

Sticks and Scribbly Gums

The Everyday Adventure

The winter chill has set in, but the afternoon sun is enough of a reason to get outdoors. We have found a great hike for tiny legs. It is part bushtrack, part boardwalk and about 1.4km long, so we make it to the end with only 1 snack stop along the way :) The bush is full of Scribbly Gums and beautiful trees but today it was about finding the perfect walking stick.

Catching the winter sun

The Everyday Adventure

The skies this winter have been clear and blue and the view to the horizon is so sharp. It is whale watching season so we headed to the cliffs of Kamay Botany Bay National Park to spot some of the biggest creatures on earth. We were lucky to see several humpback whales enjoying their trip up the coast, but the kids (and husband) didn't last too long before it was time to head down to the water to explore.
