You’ll find this tiny house 3 hours from Sydney 🏡

On our recent trip to the Blue Mountains it was so nice to be able to get out of our rooftop tent for a couple nights and relax in Tiny Daisy, sitting by the warm fire and getting a good nights rest in a comfy bed whilst still enjoying everything about nature that we love! 🔥🌿

We loved sitting by the window during golden hour, the sun was warm and the cows walked by and came to say hello!

Keep watching to see the lake from above 👀

This is Pink Lake (Loch Lel), only a 10 minute drive from Dimboola along the Western Highway! 💕

The Pink Lake gets its vibrant colour from a salt tolerant algae living in the salt crust and is a truly incredible spectacle when its at its prime colouring 🙌🏻

The best time to view it is after rainfall events and in full sun … it literally took me 7 times (a lot of trips to and from Adelaide) to see it looking like this☀️

Have you been to a salt lake before? ☺️

Do you think it was all worth it? ✨

You know I’d do anything for a waterfall but I’m gonna keep it real here and let you know that the water is next level freezing but I was numb because my body had already gotten use to it walking into the canyon (at one point) in chest deep water 😅

BUT all that being said it was honestly one of the most amazing hikes I’ve ever done. It challenged my mental strength (walking through icy water is not something I wanna do everyday), my physical abilities (climbing over and under rocks and fallen logs) and my navigation skills (we kept having to check we were going the right way) 🗺️

👉🏼My recommendations:
- Hike this trail anti clockwise if you’re following the @alltrails map
- Pack snacks, water and a change of warm clothes
- Wear bathers, hiking sandals or wet shoes
- Bring a dry bag to put all your gear in
- Don’t hike this during or after rainfall (flooding can occur)
- Allow up to 4 hours for this one!

📍Dalpura Canyon and Jinki Ridge (check it out on AllTrails)

Save these spots for your next Beechworth trip ✨

Save these spots for your next Beechworth trip ✨

We recently spent 2 nights at the luxurious @theinnbeechworth, a historic 1890s restored home that was once the sight of a famous Ned Kelly fight! It’s right at the heart of town and the centre of everything to do in and around Beechworth on your next trip! 🛌

Here are some of my top picks while you’re there:

1️⃣Newtown Falls is right at the end of Gorge Road and the edge of to Beechworth Historic Park 💦

2️⃣Spring Creek Cascades can be found in Beechworth Historic Park, an awesome place to explore especially in warmer weather as you’ll also find small pools to take a dip in 😍

3️⃣The Magical Forest is a hidden gem, only 15 minutes from town, where you’ll find a redwood forest only 200 metres from the car! 🌲

4️⃣@billsons1865 is the best place to grab a bite to eat and try all their delicious drinks at the same time - cordials, vodka mixers, cocktails and gins 🤤

5️⃣Murmungee Lookout is only a 10 minute drive out of town and offers incredible views of the flood plains of the Ovens and King Rivers (keep a lookout for the tree stump on the side of the road on the way in)! 👀

➕Bonus Extras - Woolshed Falls & Mt Pilot Lookout

Fortress Falls was everything I had dreamt of ✨

Fortress Falls was everything I had dreamt of ✨

Seriously though, the Blue Mountains is literally so magical and this spot was definitely worth the hike to get to - even if it was a 10km return track and we had to do a bit of a rock scramble down to it! 🤭

We stayed here for about an hour, sitting in the icy rock pools, sun baking, ate our packed lunch but we could have easily stayed longer had we left earlier in the day (mid week we saw nobody else the whole day)! 🙌🏻

Make sure you wear proper hiking attire, bring your bathers and allow up to 4 hours for this one!🥾

📍Fortress Falls via Fortress Ridge Track (check it out on AllTrails)

Definition of living life on the edge right?! 😅

Just out here being an unsupervised adult in the Blue Mountains and loving every minute of it … even tho I definitely spent a good 5 minutes contemplating the 1m jump to get to this spot 🫣

This 10km return track follows an easy fire trail, with a few stairs to walk down to get to where I’m standing or different vantage points of Hanging Rock if you don’t want to make the jump - the views are sooo worth it with or without it! 🥾

Have you ever sent something similar to your parents? 😂

📍Hanging Rock, Burramoko Ridge
