Post lunch chills at @silosestate. Captivating views are just the beginning here, this historic estate has been carbon neutral since 2008 (even with a helicopter transfer service & electric car charging station) and their cellar door is a haven for local produce and some hard to get wines from right across the region.

This little treasure is a big deal! @portsidecafe is the home base for whale and dolphin watching and eco-cruises with @jervisbaywild, but you can also grab a kayak or SUP and explore beautiful Currambene Creek. Their big boat, Port Venture is fully wheelchair accessible, as is the cafe.

The Castle is so gnarly even total legend @turiapitt teamed up with a guide, Zinon from @bignatureadventures and her mate @samwphoto. 🙌Here's how it went down in her words -
If you’re from my local area, you’re probably a hardened bushie (complete with cork hat) and have summited The Castle already.

If you're not from my local area, allow me to give you some context. "The Castle" is a bushwalk/climb up to an iconic peak in Morton National Park, a rocky outcrop that towers out of the beautiful Budawangs.
I have an irrational fear of heights, sheer cliff faces, vertigo-inducing escarpments and precipices of any kind. Hence, I’ve never done The Castle.

But you know when you're really scared of something, there’s a part of you that knows that it might be actually good for you?

That was The Castle for me. It was a metaphorical (and also literal!) mountain that I knew I had to climb.

So with the help of Zinon at @bignatureadventures and @samwphoto, I did it last weekend!

Was it hard? Yeah, climbing up massive boulders with only an old guide rope to assist me was terrifying. Zinon harnessed me up properly so I knew I couldn’t fall, but still, I was climbing a rock face with a drop at least a couple hundred metres high, so, I feel like my fear was justified, y'know?

Massive thanks to Zinon and Sam for helping me do this.

Zinon's a mate but working with him to do this has allowed me to see what a pro he is. If you're looking for an outdoorsy adventure, check out @bignatureadventures. He'll get you out there (and also home safely!). And big ups to my mate Sam for filming the whole thing. He got the sickest footage and I can't wait to share it with you guys.
On that front, we might need to wait a few weeks, because the very next day, Sam's wife had their baby! When I asked him what was better, climbing The Castle with me or having a baby, he said the baby. Obviously. Massive congrats Sammy and Neesh!
