What a beautiful country we live in. How lucky are we to be able to visit so many amazing areas.
We decided to visit an old favourite place for lunch, and discovered that it now has new owners and a new name.
Once called Blue Poles, now The Byabarra.
Still the same gorgeous view and lunch was lovely.
Time to walk after our lunch, and we decided seeing how we were where we were, that for a change we would visit the forest.
It had been about 15 years since we visited this forest. All those years ago, we walked with friends and made it all the way to Rawson Falls. We left our start a bit late to make it to the base of the forest, but had a lovely walk to the first lookout.
A dear little fairy wren greeted us when we first walked into the forest, and followed us all the way there and back.
It is about a 3 hour return walk, and very steep. If you happen to decide to visit, make sure you take good walking shoes, it can be a rough path in certain areas, and it's quite steep. However if you enjoy bush walking, I am sure that you will find it's worth the walk all the way to the falls.
Moments like that really make my day. Fairy wrens were my mother's favourite birds and it was a lovely thought that this one was guiding us through the forest.
I felt my mum's presence close to me that day, a beautiful gift from nature.
