We decided to take a break from the crazy family weekend chaos and step back into nature and explore the Georges River Nature Reserve in Campbelltown. Let me tell you, it was like stepping into a whole new world where nature, history, and calmness mix together. 

As I started walking along the trail, everything around us seemed to slow down. I could hear leaves rustling, birds singing, and a nice earthy smell filled the air. It was like a reset button for my mind. Mind you I could still hear Edith pointing out things, asking "whats this" and playing with the sticks on the ground. It was truly a beautiful thing to witness - her connect with nature.

Camping by the Snowy River was definitely a memorable experience. The sound of the rushing water and the stunning views of the Snowy Mountains was breathtaking.

It sure was a wet one! We had all sorts of weather from rain, windy, sun, more rain and even sleet snow overnight. During the day, we lazed about around the campfire and enjoyed throwing rocks in the river. In the evening, we sat around the campfire, sharing stories and enjoying each other's company.

The crisp mountain air and star-filled sky made for a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Waking up to the sounds of birds and the fresh crisp air was a feeling I'll never forget.

During my recent trip to Canberra, I had the pleasure of visiting the Australian National Botanic Gardens, and it was a truly memorable experience. As a lover of nature and all things green, I was amazed at the vast array of native flora on display, with over 5,000 different species to explore.
