Natural Arch, naturally!

We have taken the opportunity to visit Natural Arch in Springbrook recently... in fact we have been there twice in the last few weeks, we enjoyed ourselves so much. The first time we went as a family and found a little creek bed beside the road to splash around in afterwards. The second visit we invited Uncle Peter, Aunty Jen and Matthias to join us. We tried out a new little creek which turned out perfect for the young un's.

The Natural Arch Bridge itself is spectacular... Dave tells me he used to swim in this water hole as a child... and some even dived through the hole in the top of the cave. It is now all off bounds to any (or at least those who observe the signs - did spot a couple of swimmers further down...)

We had lunch at Natural Arch and then went for a drive to find a little creek where we could cool off....

0r help others cool off;)


Daddy made a little "rock pool" where the little ones could paddle... perfect Daddy!! They loved it (even Rosa who is usually a bit fearful in water...)


Matthias wanted to grab the sun... here he is on his way up

First attempt failed - let's try it again! Never give up sonny!

These photos sum up the personality of my boys quite well.

Josh, our friendly, chatty boy - made a new friend...

Owen, when placed on a rock just broke into joyous song!

Playing "horsey" on a fallen branch...

And a shot of my spunky while totally unaware!

Searching for life at the bottom of the creek bed...

Daddy and Josh, up to no good.... might make a runner....!
