Mum and Dad were keen to take us to this place around 1-2 hours out of Sydney, which I hadn’t actually heard of before. It’s called the Illawarra Fly and is located deep in the rainforest. You walk about 5 mins through rainforest, and suddenly there’s a platform hanging over the tree tops. It’s all steel but has got lots of gaps/holes all over, so is a rather frightening experience – especially for scaredy cats like myself 😉 I’m not a fan of heights, it makes me feel faint and stomach-churny. And this was definitely making me feel that way!

It was fascinating though, going out and breathing clean fresh air, and seeing SO much foliage around. There’s an area that you climb up and up and up and up, round and round a small pole, until you’re at the top of a teeny platform overlooking… well, the whole world, it seems. It is SO high up, and so freaky to be up there on a tiny little platform! I think I had jelly legs the entire time 😉

A very fun experience and worth a trip, but it was a whopping AU$22 per person which I thought was heavily overpriced and a rip-off. It’s worth maybe $5 per person. Didn’t realise it was so expensive or I would’ve convinced Mum and Dad out of it 😛 Well, at least we got pretty views and nice cool weather!

There were loadsa cows. This one ran away when I tried to take a pic with it 😉

And sudden you find yourself on TOP of all the trees!

We climbed to the top to check out the view. I thought I was gonna pass out
(am afraid of heights). Was really gorgeous though..
