Magic words Kate! So chuffed to hear you've enjoyed our adventures across Aotearoa New Zealand. We are so keen to check out the Overland Track one day. Lucky for us we have a magnificent Aunt and Uncle down in Cygnet so we've been to Tassie a few times. Must come back and catch you while we're there. Big love, Dee and the @noodlesforbrekky whānau / family. Wānaka, NZ
Thank you Kate for sharing the photos, video and poem from your adventure. The days of hiking, biking and discovery are over for my wife and myself, but we have memories and photos to enjoy together. Our favorite places that we used to go are Niagara Glen and Chimney Bluffs State Park. The Glen is a little nature preserve on the Canadian side of the Lower Niagara River, nestled deep within the gorge. It’s a hidden gem among the bridges, towns and hydro power plants, and there are people who live just a mile or two away that have never heard of it. We’re blessed that my wife wanted to visit a Christmas store (in August!) and I got bored and paid a dollar for a trail map from a vending machine, or we’d never have seen this wonderful place. Chimney Bluffs is on the American shore of Lake Ontario, in Wayne County, and it’s known as New York’s badlands. It’s a drumlin that was deposited there by a melting ice sheet at the end of the last Ice Age, and erosion has created a spooky landscape of gorges and peaks with names like The Dragon’s Back. I’d love to see it from a different perspective, like from a plane or a boat on the lake. We hiked both places during the 1990s, returning several times to see small changes to familiar spots and discover new sights. If you’re ever in the vicinity of Niagara Falls or Upstate New York, these two spots are must-sees. They don’t take long to reach or explore, and we like to call them half-day getaways.One thing they have in common with your adventure is that you can see a flower just a few days old, then happen upon a rock wall with layers and fossils that are impossibly ancient.
Tasmania (we’ve never been) looks like places like Greenland or Iceland to me. I’m glad you are sharing because I just thought that everywhere in Australia was sunny and warm all the time, all year long. We in the Northern Hemisphere tend to have a narrow view of the other half of our planet. I’m hoping you’re well and doing what you love to do even as I write. I have restacked your post, even though I don’t know what it means. It seems like a good thing, and I added a note, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Lovely stories! Thanks for that gorgeous poem. As a runner, I worship my feet, tho probably not enough.
Thank you Julie
