We realised on Saturday that we had never taken the children to see the wonderful natural rock formation and waterfall of Natural Arch. Actually we did go when Ari was a small tiny baby - he tells us he thinks maybe he could remember being there then, but then he wasn't quite sure! So, on Sunday morning we decided to go for a lovely family outing. And boy was it good.
It's only about 1/2 away from our house - over the border into Queensland. Lovely drive up the mountain range, to the view at the top, then down again and the spectacular countryside down the otherside.
The kids had such a good good time. Ari gave the biggest hug and said 'thank you for bringing us'. He really did love it.
You stand inside the cave, listening to the water fall and fall and fall. It's a roar in there. Can't talk, or hear. You can call and yell and make funny noises.
In Summer time there are glow worms and mushrooms to be seen. We'll take the kids back then.
A reminded to do things. Not need to plan and rush about. Simply to do it. To breathe together, walk together, laugh together. Simple things - walking in the forest looking at moss and fairy houses and mushrooms.
Looks like you all had a lovely day and yes it is good to be reminded to do things out of the ordinary every now and then, I have just added this to our 'wish list' of places to visit during school holidays as it really isn't too far to go and I think a picnicking adventure might be in order ;)
