A letter from Little Red Toolangi Treehouse campsite: Water from a wet forest

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 19/03/2014 - 8:32pm

A river’s gentle white noise soothes sleep as stars turn through trees, the gift of water - so so special in our dry land. This is the Yea River, a short dawn walk through soft treeferns. It was for hours like this, a gentle though persistent presence to sleep with, till the forest stirred from breeze and leaves countless grow the white noise into a stirring celebration of water, sun and life that is this place - a ‘Great Forest’.
