Leap into Nature @ Plenty Gorge

Our little nature detectives had a great morning at Plenty Gorge today! Our mission was to collect all sorts of different rocks... there were plenty (excuse the pun!) to choose from on our morning bushwalk and nature discovery time.  We visited the 'Blue Lake' and loved looking at the mighty Plenty River. The kids held a rock trowing competition over the edge of the gorge and we found some of the rocks break apart!
The kids walked pretty much the whole way which was a great effort up and down the hill back to our 'camp' spot.
This was where the kids ran free, created a 'Rock Report', tested the float or sink properties of their rocks and other collections such as bark, leaves and sticks.  We also made 'nature faces', played good old fashioned tiggy and spent some relaxing quality time in nature!
