Our gathering in Tasmania May 2026 was full of delicious moments. Some of those are here.

All together in our appreciation of nature and commitment to the practice of nature journalling.


The guide for our gathering with so many tantalising activity choices packed into two days and three nights.

Calming breathwork in nature, led by Katy.

Delighting in each other's reflections on nature.

Wendy showed us there are more ways and everyday objects to use in nature journalling practice than we might think.

Fireside chat facilitated by the charming Ami with presidents past and present on the role of nature journalling and our association. (Presidents Julia, then Tanya, now Annie).

The world of insects and why these critters are so important. Julia and Alan gave us a close look at these fascinating specimens.

Amber created just the mellow vibe we craved at the end of the day. Her beautiful voice and playlist moved us.

Catering with heart by Suzie and Correa. Lots of home grown and home made delights.
