We did a reset in the forest & by the river today.
In the Bellingen Shire region and just beyond, there’s so much of this to immerse ourselves into.
A take away curry & coffee in Dorrigo finished it perfectly!

“Magical moment from a hike I did in Dorrigo National Park last year, just before the bushfires hit. As far as I know, this part of NSW survived. Such an incredible area. Lush and green. As soon as you step inside the rainforest, you feel nothing but peace, tranquility, and a sense that time is standing still.”

It’s so easy to show off our very special part of the world.Our community knows what we’ve got and wants to take care of it.Coastal, rainforest, mountain & rural settings are all within arms reach (or at least within view) and offer respite for anxious minds & restless bodies.This beautiful repost from @amelia.franklin who says “What a week and it’s not over… yet this is the busiest the beach has been so remembering to have gratitude for the community I live in.”

📷Repost @drawnwithlight_ who says “The moments unplanned are some of the best, spontaneity creates such a feeling of freedom! This day was one spent wandering vintage shops, finding treasures then completed by a picnic of home made hommus overlooking this beauty! These are the days that stay with you and remind you that life should be lived simply.

Someone who travels extensively around the world for her work recently told me that when asked where she comes from she starts with Australia. They smile. “Where abouts in Australia?” “Oh a town in NSW, between Sydney & Brisbane, near Coffs Harbour”. They nod and smile some more. “Where exactly?” they ask. “Bellingen”. - and invariably the smiles widen and eyes light up “Oh that was my FAVOURITE part of Australia!” They say....
.
True story.
.
Is it fair that we who live here get to enjoy it - and have it all to ourselves at the moment? So much of nature’s diversity and beauty - all in one place.
.
Counting our blessings today here in the Bellingen Shire.
