Le Gerche forest walk and fairy huts

it was cold
but the rain held off





















what a discovery!
the landcare walk through the le gerche forest
remnants of a once thriving education program 
pepper this walking trail
a fabulous sculpture of one of the local inhabitants

signs and pictures
and colourful tiles in the ground
little surprises everywhere

we had some BIG girls 
and a BIG boy
with us
they are so inspiring 
when they get going with fairy huts

we had a kinder teacher/mum with us too

i love the opportunity to hear educators

particularly those with a natural ease

interacting with little people

it is especially lovely to hear 

them with their own children

i love the intonations
the questioning
the shared wonder

i learn a lot 
from this rich modelling
from one mother to another

once again i delight 
in being with the kids 
and parents
as they 
explore
create
play
and fossick

the fairy huts

with outdoor dining setting!

in the dark bark forest

we came across a nest with a rock egg in it

looking forward to next week
back at the playscape
