Getting back with Nature

So I haven't done any blogs in a while because I thought I haven't had anything fun or exciting to blog about, But I did forget that I have gotten back to Nature recently which was quite enjoyable being able to take in all the beauty of what the Lord has given us. I visited Lamington National Park/O'Reillys last weekend which was really lovely, it is a great place to meditate and relax and be one with nature. OR take a very long hike up and down the mountain through the Forrest. On top of the mountain you can experience all these beautiful coloured birds come and land on your arms, shoulders and head, if you have a bit of bird seed in your hands they will flock to you, or if you are like me and my friend you just pretend you have something in your hands and they will be fooled for a few moments. There are also about a million Bush Turkeys up there, they are the fattest ones I have ever seen, looks like the tourists feed them pretty well, I was thinking if I ever want a good Christmas Dinner I should take a Trip up there :-)



They also have a Tree top walk, we didn't get to go on it this time round but I remember going on it when I was younger. My friend and I went on a hike that went for roughly 3-4 hours, it was a long way but it was great exercise. And I am sure there are shorter ones for those who don't think they could go for that long. Also It would have been better in summer as we could have gone for a swim at the bottom of the hike, as there was a giant pool of rushing clear water, it looked beautiful. There are also many hikes there that have waterfalls.
As you are driving up the mountain it weaves and turns and towards the top it is so Amazing, there are trees the cover both sides of the roads, it feels like you are in a Fairy Land! I was just waiting for a little fairy or pixie to come flying out of the trees.
On our drive we were hoping to find other animals such as Kangaroos.. To begin with all we saw was a dead one on the side of the road,

We did manage to see a group of 3, Big medium and little tiny one but as we were trying to get a photo, an inconsiderate car behind us wouldn't stop but drove up to them stopped.. and then scared them off while we were trying to take a picture, such a shame as it would have been a great shot too.

But one other great thing that you will find on your travels up the winding mountain is a LAMA FARM! They are so cute, I wanted to take a baby one home with me. And I got a little excited about seeing them :-)





Anyway it is a great day out and a fun experience if you ever have a free day to get back in touch with nature.
