Not a trig: Great walk #5 - Eucalypt Forest

New Year’s morning was lovely. Cool, cloudy and quiet. I got up early (for New Year’s Day, lol), and drive out to beautiful Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve. I wasn’t aiming to push myself hard yet, so I decided on a wildlife focus. I headed to the Eucalypt Forest, where the first thing you are greeted with is the koala breeding enclosure. They are very cute. Hi 

I started along the Eucalypt loop, then branched off onto the Peppermint Trail. Almost all the way around I was joined by beautiful monarch butterflies. They were everywhere! 

It was a lovely, shady walk through the bush, with lots of beautiful bird life, bubbling streams and pretty Australian bush. I was alone for the first half, then a family got close behind, spiking the set with a bit. But that’s the way it goes I guess. 😬


Once again, it wasn’t a huge walk (less than 2km this time), but it was nice. I’ll definitely head back there for more over the coming weeks.
