The Simple Wild by K.A Tucker in the Aussie Wild.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this book is AMAZING and if you haven’t met Calla and Jonah and the rest of the gang from Bangor, Alaska you should definitely put The Simple Wild at the top of your TBR list ❤️📚 •••• •••• This photo was taken overlooking Nattai National Park from the Wollondilly lookout on Wombeyan Caves road near the New South Wales Southern Highlands.

Nattai National Park is one of the 8 protected areas (and the most southern) that form part of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Greater Blue Mountains area.

Adventure is out there

The roaring, chattering of the water, as it rushes over stone and mud. Branches all a-whisper, and minute rustles where the blue-tongue crawls. The 'crunch', 'crunch', 'crackle' of twigs and brush, crushed haphazardly underfoot. Auburn, saffron and daisy sprawled beneath the Autumn sun.

There is an energy out here; something calls on the wind. Peace and prosperity lives here- thrives here. It is a different world entirely. The gum tree doesn't care for taxes, and the fern doesn't understand roads, or bridges, or houses.

There is nothing except tall trunks, sprawling branches and the vivid colour of the leaves, with the patient river slicing its shortcut surely through.

Nothing but the sky and i.

I am breathless in its beauty, and yet for once, i feel i can breathe. I inhale, in a way i have never before. Free of humanity, free of burden, and currency, and worry.

It is silent, but not in the same way a room falls hush at the strike of midnight; here, the silence itself seems to breathe. It watches you as you watch it, and finally you take another step deeper into its embrace. It all feels so natural and warm. Nothing is awkward.

The trees welcome you home.

Yesterday we took the train down to Waterfall and set out on a hike through the Australian bush. Despite getting slightly lost following a non existent ‘track’ out of signal, and then getting caught in Sunday afternoon’s downpour, it was a really good day, and really good to explore another area near Sydney.
