Trip to a National Park

So over the past weekend, I got to experience one of the National Parks of New South Wales.

And this is how it started, we have leadership group of about 10 or so people after Chapel in the mornings. We would get together and go over anything that needed to be discussed for college and it gives us a chance to get to know one another quicker while practicing our leadership skills. So we wanted to do something together because our leadership groups are changing for the new semester that is coming. Celiste and Johnny, whom both live here, decided that they would take the 5 of us that could come for a BBQ in one of the national parks. I can’t remember exactly what it was called but it was amazing. Only about 20 minutes outside of Sydney was this park and it was amazing because you couldn’t see the city anywhere in sight.

After the BBQ we drove to a new location where we went for a hike. Halfway through the hike we stopped at one of the tall rocks overlooking the water and lo and behold two whales and a dolphin swam by. I only managed to get a picture of the top of the whale, but the dolphin was swimming near by jumping in and out of the water, it was amazing. Awesome. So cool to see natural wildlife. Apparently they don’t come that close to the shore either which was a blessing. We walked along the coast till we got to a wide stream that was running into the ocean. We stayed there for a bit, walked around in the water before we headed back. So here's heaps of pictures from that day!
