BRANCH OUT, EXPLORE

Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad when it comes to the great outdoors. While you’re gazing up at the giant Brush Box trees, Antarctic beech trees (right) and Strangler Figs trees during your hike through Lamington National Park, just be wary of some less savoury visitors on the ground. If there’s been recent rainfall, there may be a few little leeches lurking. While they can really suck, just try to brush it off and keep on walking … at least you’re already in your happy place.
