The Simple Wild by K.A Tucker in the Aussie Wild.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this book is AMAZING and if you haven’t met Calla and Jonah and the rest of the gang from Bangor, Alaska you should definitely put The Simple Wild at the top of your TBR list ❤️📚 •••• •••• This photo was taken overlooking Nattai National Park from the Wollondilly lookout on Wombeyan Caves road near the New South Wales Southern Highlands.

There is an energy out here; something calls on the wind. Peace and prosperity lives here- thrives here. It is a different world entirely. The gum tree doesn't care for taxes, and the fern doesn't understand roads, or bridges, or houses.

There is nothing except tall trunks, sprawling branches and the vivid colour of the leaves, with the patient river slicing its shortcut surely through.

Nothing but the sky and i.

I am breathless in its beauty, and yet for once, i feel i can breathe. I inhale, in a way i have never before. Free of humanity, free of burden, and currency, and worry.

It is silent, but not in the same way a room falls hush at the strike of midnight; here, the silence itself seems to breathe. It watches you as you watch it, and finally you take another step deeper into its embrace. It all feels so natural and warm. Nothing is awkward.
