Wow…. Look what the clouds were hiding.! Getting outdoors in the mountains gives you a new perspective of your own life and the world around you as your sense of self melts into the vastness of this magnificent world. The everyday worries float away with the clouds, the solidness of rock and the atmospheric conditions of thin air, sun, wind and light become oh so powerful and paramount.

Let the power of nature, your own body,mind and soul lead you to new beliefs and change in this life we lead for such a short time… see you Outdoors with Farmacy Outdoors let us guide you in our local area.

Reflect to Reset:
As 2025 closed and 2026 begins, I look back on the past year, not at what I achieved , or didn’t achieve but rather what aligned with my purpose in life, what drained me and what made my heart and soul sing. This is not about me dwelling on the past successes or my many failures but rather about defining intention and recalibrating so I can move forward with clarity. Everyday not just January the 1st is an opportunity to make change, to be different, to seize the opportunity to be the best you can be.

We launched Farmacy Outdoors last year with the goals of following our dreams and passion and skills, of encouraging people to embrace getting outdoors more, becoming engaged in their own health and wellbeing with our guidance and make positive change in their own lives and those they touch, it’s a ripple effect and we are so grateful for the people who trusted us with this opportunity and we hope to achieve the same and more in this coming year We are planning to offer a different set of experiences for clients with Farmacy Outdoors. The word Farmacy was chosen because of its roots in pharmacy and health but also its links to farming and our love of permaculture, growing food, herbs and herbal medicine and homesteading, all skills we believe lead back to our whole health experience and inclusion in nature not seperate from it. We are planning to offer shorter, fun experiences of hiking, mountain biking and paddling, with a more adventurous offer for the more serious adventurer with more difficult hikes, rides and paddles including some overnight experiences. We then will also run our courses on navigation, hike and camping setup, some longer trips to Bungonia Gorge, Barrington Tops, Gloucester Tops, Warrumbungles and Tomaree National Park. So a busy year ahead and many adventures to be had.. in the meantime travel slow and thoughtfully, be kind and smile, we hope to see you Outdoors soon. ⛰🥾🌲🌈🛶🚵

Loved reading this article however the results were not surprising as we all hopefully already know how valuable nature is to our total wellbeing and health, certainly this is what our mantra is at Farmacy Outdoors. A more interesting read on this topic is “Nature Fix” by Florence Williams or “Carbon “ by Paul … . ( his name escapes me).What surprised me most about the Melbourne Uni article was how they tried to correlate a monetary value in mental health and welfare improvements and I had to wonder if they have missed the point! The cost of running these programs seemed hyper-inflated and the resulting estimated financial benefit , superficial. When we stop constantly measuring everything in terms of of dollars and cents and rather happiness, kindness, compassion, love and gratitude for all things on our one planet we might be closer to understanding what our purpose and lives are all about. Have a great Friday everyone, one week until our Coorabakh hike where we can practice everything we read about in the above article. See you outdoors.

Young Australians are facing significant mental health challenges. One in five young people experiences mental illness, including anxiety, depression and substance abuse disorders.

A groundbreaking Victorian trial found that group-based ‘nature prescriptions’ – where health practitioners prescribe nature-based activities for patients – can deliver compelling results and value for money.

Conventional therapies can be costly and frequently involve long waiting periods. In contrast, spending time in nature offers an alternative that is affordable, widely accessible, and grounded in a long-standing truth: being in natural environments supports our well-being.

Fantastic article on how to pack light and sensibly for a multi-day hike/trek.

Everything I packed for a 10kg (ish) pack (+ water) lightweight multiday hike/bushwalk in a tough & rugged wilderness.
