Young Campbell: May 2017

Like the colours from the shades of light,

Between black and white,

I would prefer Autumn and Spring,

The seasons that are not in extremes.

There are a lot of beautiful things,

that sit in the middle.

But not the distance and time,

That separate from you and I.

Leura Harvest Festival is dedicated to showcasing the outstanding produce, fine fare and innovative sustainability initiatives taking place in the Blue Mountains and wider region. It happens once a year, and we were just lucky to visit the place on that very day. Luck was on us.

To start off, we had a beautiful breakfast at Loaves and Dishes. I felt like it was my first time to experience legit Australian Brekkie. We were still waiting for my pancakes on this photo though. To add, they have their own fireplace inside which suits the need of my body thermoregulator that has been very used to the tropical weather.

After satisfying our gut, we strolled around and had a look on what Blue Mountains can offer. People from everywhere came in to support the local farmers, growers, etc. It was really nice to have a chitchat to different kind of people and talk about their goods.

But what I love more on this event are the lovely maple tress. Coloured with mixtures of red, yellow and orange, it made me feel this Autumn Western Sydney getaway legit.

Below are some of the goods that were put on sale during that day. For more photos visit this link and support this blog by liking our FB page.

This Autumn, I was able to spend a weekend getaway to the far west of Sydney. Breenhold Gardens is located at Mount Wilson which belongs to Blue Mountains City Council. An hour and 50 minutes of tricky driving was very much worth it. Seeing the different kinds of trees on shade of autumn was such a divine experience. This is one of the things the amaze me living here in Sydney, two hours of driving away from the busy city and tall buildings can lead to a completely different world.

Your legs must be very good in walking though since the sum of the gardens is 45 hectares. Bringing your own food is essential too since I have not seen some shops near by where you can buy your meal. Near the parking space, there is a wide picnic area where you can rest your wandering exhausted feet.

Breenhold Gardens comprises 45 hectares of luxuriant gardens, parkland and native bushland. Over the past 40 years several thousand exotic and indigenous trees and flowering shrubs have been planted. Northern hemisphere varieties blend with native tree ferns and towering eucalypts. Six individual stone walled gardens, several with pools, are focus points of Breenhold. A series of pine forest windbreaks extending over a kilometre adjacent to the National Park provide protection from the occasional high mountain winds. This outer area features a number of terraced bush trails and forest walks which contrast to the more formal gardens on the plateau above. There are also stunning views over the adjoining Blue Mountains National Park from several of Breenhold's lookouts. Source Breenhold.com.au
