What better way to celebrate a trek to the top of Australia’s highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko, than by enjoying the view from Sydney’s tallest structure?
🗼🍽️🏔️
The Sydney Tower has a revolving restaurant that allows you to see most of the city! It was a neat experience to have different views of the city from the tower after climbing the Sydney Bridge earlier in the trip.

Normality is a paved road: it is comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.
🌸🍷🦘
We looked for a winery to visit after our Kosciuszko climb and found a fitting one called Contentious Character! With our group of free spirits, it felt like the right place since we all tend to do things differently than what society expects. Contrasting views make life more interesting anyway!
I was excited to try the shiraz, since it’s the most commonly grown grape in Australia. We chose the wine and food pairing to sample a few of their varieties. With names like Coming Up Roses, Whiffle Waffle, Give me one good Riesling, Chardy Party and Holy Shiraz, it was a fun tasting. We even saw a kangaroo making its way through the vineyard!

It wouldn’t be a trip to Australia without seeing wild kangaroos!
🦘🇦🇺💙
Did you know kangaroos cannot move backward? That’s why they’re on the national emblem of Australia as a symbol of the country always moving forward. I spotted this mob of kangaroos as we were driving! Swipe to the second picture to see how well they blend into the landscape.

I’m pretty good with an axe and shovel, not to mention carrying a heavy backpack into remote locations.
🖤😉🃏
Would you really want to mess with someone who explores off-grid areas for fun?

A day in the mountains is a challenge and a gift
🩵🏔️👣
The greatest rewards tend to lie beyond your comfort zone and while climbing in the mountains is a physical, mental and emotional challenge, the time out there also gives you clarity, freedom and grit. It’s the combination of the challenges and the gifts of hiking creating those rewarding moments that make me love it!

The mountain lovingly called Kozzy by Australians and others who have been lucky enough to experience Kosciuszko National Park will always remain a special place to me. The mountains are more than geography. They are a mindset - a place where we acquire knowledge, skills, and experience, and connect with ourselves, the outdoor community and nature. This trip to the mountains gave me all of that.
