TYALGUM RIDGE RETREAT

Being School Holidays

 This weeks Adventure was 4 days away 

with my 2 beautiful children 

@ Tyalgum Ridge Retreat :)

Tyalgum Ridge Retreat 

Is situated high inside the northwest perimeter

of the Tweed Valley in Northern NSW.

The Tweed Valley or the " Green Couldron " 

is surrounded by the erroded crater of one of the worlds

largest extinct volcanoes.

Ancient Rainforests , fast flowing creeks , waterfalls &

Outstanding views are the beautiful features of the retreat.

Flanked by 3 spectacular World Heritage National Parks &

In full view of Mt Warning.

   Tyalgum Ridge Retreat is a 350 acre property

    with lots of activities to do :)

The first activity the kids tried was

Archery.

They learned how to load the arrow

into there bow

aim & fire into a target .

Amelia said she felt like Merida out of the movie

Brave 

Haaaa Haaa Haaa

The kids also did Camp Skills where they made and cooked there own Damper,

Which they then got to eat .....They said it was yummy .

After that they went and did a Low Ropes Course

They said it was hard ...but Awesome !!!!

 

With all the other Families

And our instructors

we got to walk 

to this 

Stunning Waterfall

that is on the property.

The walk was through the

Rainforest.

Standing near the waterfall

you could feel how cold 

& fresh the water was.

It was a breathtaking 

experience.

Well the next activity after the Waterfall Walk

was the Flying Fox 

Both of my kids were too scared

So I thought id show them how fun it would be 

How stupid was I ....

This is my worried face...LOL

Up the ladder

&

Up the pole

i went

till 

i reached

the platform

to 

fly down 

It was a challenge for me...

I thought i was gonna have a panic attack..

It was very high off the ground

& i stupidly did look down

But the fear was worth every second of 

feeling the rush

Of coming back down :)

The video of me doing this Adventure

Is on our Facebook Page :)

In our family free time 

they had a games room ,

Where we could play Table Tennis.

Which was mine & Rileys favourite :)

We could also play 

a game of billiards.

Not that the kids followed the rules

but they enjoyed playing the

other kids.

There was also a chess board

which we have no idea how to play

LOL

Or the kids chilled out 

on there ipads 

all in a circle on the floor

which was quite cute :)

The kids most preferred thing to do 

was swim in the amazing pool 

and play water games with there friends :)

And when we werent 

busy doing all that

We were taking in all 

of our magnificent surroundings.

The property

has many animals too

such as Horses , Cows ,

Alpacas , Goats , Lizards 

& we even saw a Koala 

It was very peaceful :)

We were there with good friends

Who we adore 

like my friend Chrissi in this pic :)

But we also made some life long friends 

while we were there on holiday...

Everyone seemed to bond so well.

It was like being on grade 6 camp

all over again

but with my kids ..lol

It was sad to leave this beautiful place

none of us wanted to go home :(

Thank you to all of the Brilliant Staff

who made our stay totally out of this world

we hope to see you all again soon xx
