Day at the zoo

Wednesday 23rd Oct Almost a tradition now that I visit the zoo at least once a year. This year I got to meet this gigantic giraffe named Jimmiyu. He's 21 years old and very well trained to look at the camera! Share

Exploring the Paradise Pool

Monday 7th Oct As you all know, I've made countless trips to Linden over the years for stargazing, but this was my first venture down to Paradise Pool. It's a short walk from the station, but your knees might not appreciate... You'll be rewarded though with a serene swimming hole framed by steep cliffs on one side and a little sandy beach on the other. The water is crisp, refreshing, and deep enough for a bold jump from the rock above. Worth a visit if you're ever in the area. Share

Wandering around the gardens in Leura & Wentworth Falls

Monday 7th Oct Each year, I look forward to the Leura Gardens Festival, and once again, it did not disappoint. I love the cool freeze when stepping off the train, mixed with the fresh scent of spring bloom and pine trees. Between admiring the views and catching my breath, I clocked 12km today! The photos can never do them justice, but here is my best attempt at one. Share
