Living Memory Finalist
My daughter Evie and her pal Ruby are like-minded, environmentally aware souls. Having grown up in the country, yet raising my daughters in urban Melbourne, I find it heart-warming to see the children interact with nature. The freedom they are given on our family trips is born from a need to shed the worries we have as modern-day parents – about the perceived dangers the urban environment presents. It's a physical freedom for them, and a psychological one for us.
