The Family Find

Maggie believes many little boys: * Learn best through physical play * Regulate emotions through movement * Build confidence through risk and adventure * Need less “sit still and be quiet” and more climb, dig, wrestle and explore So here we are supporting, “Free and feral” That doesn’t mean there’s no boundaries or that hurting others or being disrespectful is ok. Not in our home. It means we’re ok with them: * Climbing trees * Getting muddy * Making cubbies * Playing with sticks * Rolling down hills * Safe rough play with parents * Boredom that leads to imagination * Pushing their limits and doing ‘dangerous’ things Follow along @thefamilyfind to follow our journey of what we get up to as an adventure family who all enjoy being ‘feral and free’.

Why is no one talking about this waterfall! These falls aren’t Australia’s tallest, but wow they are beautiful and so accessible! A super easy 570 loop walk from the car park. Slight grade with one section being labeled as ‘steep stairs’ Unfortunately you can’t go to the base of the falls any longer, but there are several lookouts from the top, including having access to the rocks at the top of the falls! Highly recommend a stop. Save for your next weekend away! These falls are 📍Carrington Falls, Souther Highlands NSW.

Finish the sentence. My opinion: Sometimes the best places don’t come with bitumen. A bit of dirt just means the caravan is being used the way it’s meant to be! Off grid, out there, somewhere between the plan and the unexpected. If this is your type of adventure please give @thefamilyfind a follow so you don’t miss out on the chaos. Would love to know if a dirty van excites or scares you?

Just casually hanging out with organisms that are among the oldest on earth! Before we go on, follow @thefamilyfind for more family travel, hidden gems and epic adventures Can you believe that these types of living fossils existed billions of years before dinosaurs were a thing? Still blows my mind! This is 📍Lake Clifton, WA. An easy hour drive south of Perth!

I couldn’t believe it! (Follow @thefamilyfind for more Australian, family travel, hidden gems and epic adventures) We had this inland beach all to ourselves and to say it was absolutely stunning would be a huge understatement! The walk is less than 2km return, but the track can be pretty confusing and it’s a bit of a ‘choose your own adventure’! Theres some rock hoping and scrambling but our boys (5 and 7) managed no problem and actually loved it! Don’t be fooled at the first falls you see. They are lovely and the swimming looks great there too, but it’s not the waterfalls you’re looking for. You can day trip here from the Coffs Harbour area or stay at Glenreagh Recreation Reserve - which we would recommend. There’s only side of the road parking so be safe! As always, nature only stays this beautiful if we take care of it! Leave it exactly as you found it and if you do find rubbish left behind, please pick it up as your good deed for the day! Found in Sherwood Nature Reserve 📍S C O U T S F A L L S
