We are all asking for some downtime and 5 star luxury doesnt always give it. We originated from Nature environment and from the comments we get it seems so important that we still experience this nature environment to keep our lives on a normal plateau.
Boshack simplicity in building a lifestyle endeavoring to depict our early settlers and whilst they didnt have a lot perhaps they had everything as we now experience a similar lifestyle.
Small periods of living off the land and what it can produce makes one feel so good without the preservatives and all the sugary enticing niceties.
The isolation gives the feeling of tranquility to the point thaq different levels of meditation are reached by being just in the environment, we are told. One of the best comradeship experiences came from a popular shoe Company group from Malaysia, was when the group huddled around the fire near the water, drinking champagne, under the stars.
Nature Play seems to be the best way to describe what our children are doing when spending time in a natural environment, away from their computers and TV’s. Lets see if this school holidays the children play more in a nature.
I have seen this first hand at Boshack Outback Eco Stay, the changes in the children from when they first arrive and within a couple hours they revert back to simple, creative child’s play.
Boshack is only 90 minutes from Perth city, so come up and immerse you and the children in nature, leave feeling refreshed with a sense of clarity that nature brings. Of course we can’t go to Boshack every weekend and school holidays, so let’s suggest ways of getting our children out and about and in touch with a natural environment everyday.
Some days it may mean the back yard, my kids are rugged up and outside at 7am each morning, while I get dressed and get their breakfast. My mindset around the cold mornings changed when I saw a documentary on a lady in Iceland that had her kids outside most of the day in temperatures way below 0. We just don’t have cold enough weather here in Perth. Boshack lakeside this school holidays is really special and you know you are alive when the sun peaks over the haze of the lake and the campfire is crackling, with the smell of the fresh country air and the children being in the most natural setting they could be.

Camping within 5 metres of Lake Serene and being a part of the daily animal feeding gives the family the opportunity to give their children the “Back to the Farm” experience that many parents used to often do.
The lake is only 1.5 metres deep in the centre and about .5 metre deep at about 20 metres from shore.
You have the opportunity to do the tours if you have the time or the inclination.
Marshmellows over the fire at night and Pizza’s in the bush Pizza oven are a speciality. All meals are by means of BBQ or if you wish to cook something the Pizza oven and 20 banksia nuts is all you need to cook a 2 pound roast of lamb pork or chicken.
