There’s so many ‘right times’ here that we feel a little too spoilt for choice.

Our winter days are beyond stunning! And this old railway bridge at Urunga commands my attention every time I head across he Kalang River.

Do you agree with the comment below? What does it evoke for you?

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!

📷 Repost @anna_mia11 who says:
“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.”
