Being connected to the internet most of the time has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, we get convenience, entertainment, shopping, information and ideas. Yet on the other, we literally lose sight of how beautiful the world is and how much fun we can have with our imagination. Don’t get me wrong, I love gaming consoles and wouldn’t change it for the world! But there’s something unique and refreshing about reconnecting with nature every now and again, just to put it all in perspective. Children are especially impressionable, so it’s paramount that we break up their digital routine with some fun outdoor activities. If you’re ever looking for something to do as a family on the weekend, the great outdoors has plenty on offer. The benefits we receive from getting some sunshine, going for a swim, and breathing fresh air is unrivalled, so to give you some ideas on outdoor activities you can enjoy with the family on weekends, here are my top 5. 4WDing If you have the luxury of owning a 4WD, there’s plenty of parks to take the family and introduce them to the thrill and excitement of water crossings and steep 4WD track!. Off-roading is a great outdoor activity the whole family can enjoy, so consider taking your friends and family to a 4WD park this weekend. If you’ve got enough time, why not spend the weekend at a nearby campsite and enjoy a couple of nights under the stars? Camping If you’re looking for outdoor activities, you can probably pack about 4 or 5 in a weekend family camping trip! Australia has heaps of amazing campsites not far from the city, so consider leaving work early on Friday and making the most of your weekend. Even though you'll need some camping gear and equipment, all the fun and enjoyment you'll have is free and it's a wonderful way to let your hair down and make long-lasting family memories. Fishing Fishing is one of my favourite pursuits and I still can't wait until the week finishes so I can get back on the water. Fishing is a reasonably cheap hobby too - you don't need a yacht to catch fish! Simply drive to a lake and have a picnic where the little ones can try to catch some lunch or fish off the beach and take your catch home for dinner. Beaching Australia has some of the most breathtaking beaches, so taking the family to the beach is the perfect summer's day trip. Pack up some lunch, have a barbecue or indulge in the local fish and chip shop where you can create your own burger! You've got lots of activities at the beach too: go swimming, work on your tan, throw a ball around, or hit the local breaks for some surfing. Exploring Why not take the family on a road trip for the weekend and check out some sights in the process? Meandering through uncharted terrains has always been a passion of mine, but if you prefer to stay clean, organise some accommodation in a couple of hotels and see how many of 'Australia's Big Things' you can find along the way. Your children will love the adventure and probably the trucker stop meals too! Spending the weekend outdoors with your family is one of the best ways to revitalize your mind, body, and soul. All you need is a little imagination, an adventurous mindset, and a positive attitude to make the most of your weekends in the Australian outdoors.
