Day In Bilpin

See you next time Bilpin
So the other day, my family and I decided to go on a drive to the small town of Bilpin, which is located in the Blue Mountains Hawkesbury area. Bilpin is a very small populated town with just over 900 residents. Upon entering you can definitely notice a change in scenery. It went from the bustling Sydney city filled with tall buildings and large amount of motorists, to a very long open road lined with roadside fruit stalls, fruit orchards and beautiful gardens, all thriving with produce. Throughout this drive I was able to appreciate the beauty of the country and what it looks like away from the city centre. The main road in Bilpin is Bells Line of Road, running right through the middle of the town. Driving along this road, one of the first things I seemed to notice was how quite it was and how you could hear the chirping of the different types of birds. This was a change form what I'm used to but I found it very relaxing and I could just clear my head of all drama and stress.

I had an amazing day being able to pick my own fruit and vegetables straight off the trees and bushes, and by the time my family and I had finished up we had bags and boxes full of fresh produce just waiting to be eaten. If any of you ever think of visiting Bilpin for the day I would highly recommend visiting Pine Crest Orchard, this place goes on forever, but has quite a range of different fruits for low prices. Also, if you wanted both fruits and vegetables you can't go past Bilpin Fruit Bowl which orchards stretch for over 50 acres, this place also has many different types of fruits and vegetables
 available to be picked.

Overall I had an amazing day with my family and getting to experience a different part of New South Wales that I hadn't seen before. To all you who are reading this, I would highly recommend taking one day to go and explore the places around you and get a look at the different cities near by, or even if you just go to clear you head of everything thats going on in your head.

Throughout the day I also decided to take some photographs of what I got up to and all the different scenery I saw throughout the day. I hope you enjoy and like the images I took, just a side note I'm not a professional photographer so sorry if the photographs aren't the highest quality.

With Love XOXO
