"If i were a tree 
I'd tousle my leaves 
and lift up my branches.
To stretch and receive.
The sun and the rain, 
cradling each cool drop.
Til a chorus of wind
would rouse them to plop 
on the moss - covered roots 
where i'd make a soft shade
and beckon birds home 
when days start to fade.
Souls rejuvenated ,Hearts full"

At 29 weeks pregnant we wanted to get away together, rest our heads, hearts & souls for a time amongst the bush which is where we love best.
We could not have asked for a more peaceful place to "baby-moon" and we are very grateful.  The Ark and surrounds, as well as the greater
Denmark area are certainly full of wonderful happy spirits and it appears to us, maybe a little magic fairy dust!.
We look forward to returning to stay in the future with Bub in tow."
