One of the main reasons why I enjoy living in Sydney is its proximity to many natural wonders. The Blue Mountains National Park is definitely high up on that list. This week, I spent 2 days hiking in this region and I loved every minute of it!
Being surrounded by those majestic mountains provided a sense of serenity and clarity. It allowed me to connect to nature and listen to its calls. It can be physically demanding but mentally refreshing at the same time. As the world's population gets more urbanised, these small pockets of nature would become important oases. A place to satisfy some of our primal needs.

A beautiful end to a rewarding day of hiking around the mountain. Surprisingly it is my first visit to this tourist hotspot. We were a little disappointed that Wentworth Falls was lacking volume.
