Bushwalkers

One obvious factor is scenic beauty, it's obviously not all of it, because you can see nice places by driving a car, but

it's just not the same as getting there on foot.

I feel it gives you

a chance to focus your thoughts,

you definitely have a start and a beginning, you have a goal, and just go out and do it.

It's the sort of thing that I know, if I don't get out in the bush, I actually do miss it. So it's sort of some, I suppose, inate thing there, that

you need this.

I like camping by the rivers,

you get that sound during the night,

it's a beautiful peaceful... sort of soothes you during the night and you wake up very peaceful in the mornings... and it's beautiful camping by the river, lighting the fire, and sitting around the campfire, a gurgling stream next to you, it's a wonderful sensation.

I lead a fairly hectic life at home with the kids and a busy job, and every now and then I feel like

I just need to get out,

so I think it's something about going back to that pristine environment, and it's like you're drawing your life renewal for your life from that area.

It's not just one thing, I really enjoy the birds, but it's the trees, the shrubs, it's the insects, it's the flowers, it's the dry mulch, just

the whole atmosphere is life-giving.
