Walking through
January 23, 2016
Have been saying about going to the Macritchie treetop since
June 2015 and due to our lazy bones, we have been dragging it until the start
of YR2016! We gather all our strength to wake up early and set off towards it!
Things to pack in your bag-pack:
- Sunblock to protect your skin
- Water bottle (at least 150ml) to always stay hydrated
- Mosquito patch to not get any bites!
- Clothing to change to after the walk
Before you go, it’s always good to know the opening hours, distance and the estimated walking time so let me fill you in.
We took a total of 2.5hours to finish walking a distance of
6km (round trip including the Tree Top Walk). For you information we didn’t
walk at our normal speed, we brisk walk a little. That means if you were to
walk in your slow speed, it might take you a total of 3.5 hours?
The start off of the hike, you’ll only see tree, tree and
more trees and you’ll be so focus on the road because there’s so much stones
and branch that you thought you might just trip and fall. Fortunately for me, I
packed some food with me first before heading and while walking I’m having my
breakfast during the walk. Happy fat kid.
*Note: Please do not litter there and if you bring food,
throw the rubbish back into your backpack and dump it when you see a proper
rubbish bin.
Magnificent isn't it? It simply took my breath away.
I think it’s a good place for couples or friends to go together, because while walking through you actually get to talk to each other a lot more than chilling in cafes or having a dinner as the remote place will make your wifi a little weaker.
“Disconnect to connect”
Furthermore, you’ll be able to let your eyes relax a little
by looking at the trees, grass and the beautiful sky. Relax your inner soul and
clear your mind.
Instead of copping in the city, get away with a hiking buddy now!
