Yet another gorgeous hike with lovely people. The highlight was a swim in refreshing rock pool and a shower under the waterfall.

Another gorgeous hike in The Royal National Park. The highlight was the stunning reflections in the water and an invigorating swim. Doesn't get any better.

Berowra Valley NP walk: Thornleigh to Hornsby
This was another wonderful hike with beautiful, water sculptured rocks. It was a hot day but well worth the effort. It was especially lovely to meet up with Chrisèl again who I met on a hike in Sept 2013 and felt a great sense of connection with.

Hiking at Cathedral Rock
Rock-hopping isn’t just for the wallaroos at Cathedral Rock National Park. We hiked to the park’s enormous boulder pile of Cathedral Rock, after camping the night in the park, and scrambled to its summit, using chains in steep parts to help us on our way. From the summit, we enjoyed the superb views across the wilderness landscape of dry eucalyptus forest and granite outcrops. Absolutely gorgeous, soul enriching stuff.

Isn't Dani becoming an expert? She's taking the art to a whole new level.

This beautiful pair were chilling out in the grass as we started our hike. Aren't they too beautiful for words?
Hardcore camping in Cathedral Rock
Camping with Dani was great fun. The camp site was very basic with a smelly long drop toilet and no shower, so it was pretty hardcore for our first time camping together. Hopefully, it hasn't scared Dani off camping with me for life!

Next stop on our trip
