Few things restore us as quickly as immersing ourselves in nature. Whether it’s a heart-pumping hike through dappled bush, a barefoot stroll along the beach or just a picnic beneath the sheltering canopy of an ancient tree, the sights and sounds and smells of nature anchor us in a way that no other experience does.
Making it an active escape doubles the delight. Add a hit of adrenaline to your dopamine and you will find it hard to take the smile off your face. Or take it slow with forest bathing, a mindful kayak through a deep canyon or a gentle guided walk along the coast. Whatever your passion, Australia is filled with opportunities to reap the benefits of being in the great outdoors.
