With: Sam, Priya, Dad
Route: Federal Pass to Katoomba Falls, the long way round
We started later than we meant to, as always. The mist hadn't burned off yet and the whole valley looked like it was breathing. Dad kept stopping to name birds he wasn't sure about. Six hours later, feet wrecked, we sat at the falls and ate the last of the biscuits in total silence, which is the highest compliment our family gives a view.
