My partner, Greg, and my best friend, Ulf, and I drove to the Warrumbungles last night to look at the stars.

I only had my phone with me instead of a proper camera. Greg took this picture by increasing the exposure time and balancing the phone on a thermos of tea.

We sat out for about an hour before having to drive home, because I was driving and needed to make sure I'd be awake enough to get us all home safe.

We talked about astronomy, spirituality, Ancestors and my Aboriginality, our friendships, star dust, and the state of the world. We laughed, Greg cried (he's such a delicate man and I love the strength of his vulnerability), and I discovered that even though he and Ulf have been to Australia multiple times and joke about "everything is trying to kill you lol", they really don't have a sense of how dangerous this country can be:

"there's a look out 500m down this trail, let's just go down there!" (in a National Park at 1am with no hiking gear, let alone night hiking)

It was amazing, and I'm so glad I was able to share it with these two men that I love to the moon and back.

We're driving out to the Warrumbungles tonight to go look at the stars. It's a "Dark Sky" park, meaning that there is almost no light pollution.. so seeing the Milky Way from there should be amazing!

Just a quick trip with a long drive from Sydney at both ends. Can't wait to head back to spend more time at the Warrumbungles #warrumbungles #hike #NSWNationalParks
