At Grose River

Grose River is a beautiful sandy river flowing through the Navua Reserve (Grose Wold), North of Richmond, NSW, ideal for picnic, swimming and fishing. The sandy beach is so wide and clean where you can relax, lazily lie down and enjoy the sun while the kids are splashing and jostling the water. Even horse riding is allowed around the area. There are also shady spots if you are not fond of the sun and few barbecue areas are also provided for your convenience with picnic tables and chairs absolutely free. It's actually one of my favourite spots around here. Every time, we come up here, the kids don't feel like to go home and even forget to eat the food that I always bring for them. There are many things to keep them busy enough to make them forgot what we got in our picnic containers. During our recent visit, we let them did something different. It was something that they haven't done before because we let them tried their luck catching fish. We provided them with nets where they can easily scoop the fish into . Dorothy was lucky for she caught quite a few fish. While David had no luck at all no matter how hard he tried it. He was just quick to approach them and scared them away instead. However, it occupied him so much until it was time to go home. I just told him that maybe next time, he will be lucky enough like his big sister.Now, I know you are wondering of a crocodile, right? It's obsolutely NO. We really don't have it here. Crocodiles in the wild are not found in NSW. It is only in some other parts of Australia, mostly in some parts of QL and the top end.So we are quite safe here to enjoy our rivers .So, this is where Dorothy's catch ended up to, right to her own fish tank inside her room. She has this tank for quite sometime now with few different types of tropical fish. The new fishes seem adjusted so well in the new habitat as they are so happy swimming around with the other fishes.
