Back to nature

Today we drove to a kinda nearby waterfall. I was surprised how easy it was to walk to the actual fall and the fact that we'd never been here before considering its proximity.

It was a beautiful sunny winter's day, but definitely cooler in the national park. As you entered the rainforest itself the temperature seemed to drop another couple of degrees. We set off at a pace, on my part to ward off the cold but for the boys it was more about getting to the destination.

Huge moss covered boulders and tarzan sized vines slowed down the pace but made the walk all the  more magical.

And then there it was. When it comes to nature, sometimes it's a fight to get certain members of my family out of the house, but everyone was impressed by its magnificence. 

A continual fine spray, from the waterfall hitting the rock pool, kept changing direction and the boys tried hard to dodge it, playing a game of "who's the fastest". Considering they had thought the drive long and windy, it made it all worthwhile that they loved the end result.
