A moment of reflection and time out from exploring @carriageworksfarmersmarket (and a chance to digest the beef burger, croissant, pizza bread, coffee and gingerbread feast we just indulged in!) 🥐🍔🍓🍏🍪🥦 How good is being a tourist in your own city? Our first visit here but definitely not the last! 📷credit to @espressdomily ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #carriageworks #farmersmarket #tastydelights #redfern #touristsinourowntown
A short but sweet trip at Wollondilly River Station; still enough time to make a tonne of beautiful memories 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#wollondillyriverstation #campingwithkids #beautifulmemories #mygirl #campingnsw
...the rains and freezing wind came! Cut the trip short but good to see some 🌧 hit the dust in drought-stricken country NSW. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wollondilly #campingwithkids #firstgradefitness #campertrailer #greatoutdoors #coleman
⛺️ It was looking so promising at #wollondillyriverstation on Friday afternoon - A prime spot by the river, sweet camping setup, sunshine, happy kids and hound. But then... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#wollondilly #campingwithkids #firstgradefitness #campertrailer #greatoutdoors #coleman
Guess how many treasures we found?! 🐚🐟🦀🐙 ⭐️ Honestly there were too many to name them all but the highlight was discovering the Octopus’s Garden - he even stretched out a tentacle to invite us in. We politely declined. 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙 Ps can you spot it? (Hint: it’s the purple-black mottled thing in the middle of the second pic and the two white spots are its 👀. Yeah not the best pic but proof that we found him!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #octopussgarden #rockpools #rockpool #northernbeaches #sydney #northernbeacheslocal
