no worries
Hi, do you know where I could find more hikes for 3 – 6 y.o. children? Around Sydney. I’m a pre-school teacher and would like to start a bush kindy one day 😉
I am slowly expanding my database of hikes into NSW so at this stage dont have any that I can recommend. If you do find any I would love it if you can share them with me for inclusion on my site.
Thank you Tracey Quinn for sharing this hike
