Nature at its Finest! Gardners Falls - A Hidden Jem in Nature ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฟ:)

Even though the weather was a bit against us yesterday - with scattered showers it didn't stop us from driving to one of the places I've recently fell in love with !
We drove an hour and a half to get to Gardners Falls in Manley (Australia). With such beautiful Scenery!!! Don't you have a place where you go to where you are breath taken by its beauty and serenity? As if someone drew a beautiful picture of nature and you are standing inside it. That's exactly the feeling I have each time I come to Gardeners falls:)

These delightful waters are bounded by a grassy verge and backed by native forest making it the ideal spot for a hinterland picnic or a post-swim snooze under a giant water gum.

We enjoyed the first half hour with some sun :)



Then it started to get cloudy and rain....
But it was still so beautiful and we continued down the trail with a few shallow rock pools nearby - which can be great for smaller kids for splashing about :)

The trail is pretty wide and goes along the river



Since its tree Tuesday today, this is my entry with not only one tree but many that make this place soooo magical!
With waterfalls and swimming holes and a few fun shallow spots between



We continued down the trail and followed the waters downstream where the pools get bigger and where last time we were here we enjoyed a nice swim in the fresh water underneath the waterfall

And of course, just when we decided to head back, the sun came out again! :D


ENJOY THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE!!!

Looks like a fantastic place, @cooknbake! It's been awhile that I've been to somewhere like that... But here it tends to be too hot and humid, but I guess makes it more pleasurable to get into the water! :D
Wonderful photos - shows the beauty of the place!

You were there as well? I see you're from Brisbane too :) I heard it is packed with so many people sometimes but whenever we were there until now - we had the place almost to ourselves and it was amazing!
Thanks for commenting @gohba.handcrafts! :)
