Yesterday and lots of days in Summer I visit Halls Falls - it's a beautiful little waterfall up in the Mountains close to where I live. I come here to pray to the waters and spend time connecting to Nature. All of life is a ceremony, each moment a beautiful gift to be here on this incredibly diverse and miraculous planet.

It’s just not possible to have a favourite plant - a favourite plant list however now that’s a thing!!! and on my list is Sensitive Weed. MIMOSA podia - the beautiful prickly herb with very sensitive leaves that fold up at night and when touched. I really really love this plant and feel so sad when people just brush her off as an annoying noxious weed, Its even been labelled on some websites as Australia’s worst weed, I mean really? - SAD!

I visit often, at all times of the day and in all kinds of weather. You can find this pristine lake on the Atherton Tablelands about 1.5hrs from Cairns if you take the Gillies range. There is a Teahouse right on the lake that is a tranquil place to have a Coffee - (not a fan) or Tea and scones, sit back and be o

Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan I really love visiting Japan - the land is very easy for me to connect to. This is partly because of the Earthquakes. Deep inner Earth minerals and gases are released often merging with the water, land and air that we spend time in.
