The mountain peaks of Barrington Tops say ‘thanks for thinking of us’ on Tuesday 11 Dec 2018: the United Nations’ International Mountain Day. 😍 Did you know that mountains cover 22% of the earth's land surface & provide 60-80% of the world's fresh water? . . . .

Stargazers love a good meteor shower & on Friday 14 Dec the Geminids will light up the skies with one of the most spectacular displays of shooting stars to be viewed from Earth this year. They are loved by stargazers because the individual meteors are bright, and they come fast and furious: at its peak you will be able to see up to 120 shooting stars an hour. 😎😍🤩 The best way to see the meteors is to lie flat on your back and look straight up, to maximise your field of vision and not strain your neck. Of course, the darker your viewing location the better, so head high to Barrington Tops for a full-blown stargazing experience of the Geminid meteor shower.🛸👽😳 . .

The weekend is coming, where will it take you? How about a drive through the towering fir trees in Stewarts Brook State Forest? It’s in Barrington Tops but for a moment you can pretend you’re in Vancouver and save the airfare for something else. 😏😊 . .

Looks like the Hogwarts house of Gryffindor paid a visit to Barrington Outdoor Education this week, swapping flying brooms for flying paddles. Anyone for water quidditch? 🙄😏😋 . Photo by @boac_frontdesk #barringtoncoast #barringtontops #thestepsbarrington #harrypotter

Rain brings colour everywhere. Meet the Ruby Bonnet (Mycena viscidocruenta) found in the moist forests of Barrington Tops, especially after recent good rains. The bright red cap of this mushroom is about 2cm diameter, initially convex then flattens as it matures, so that the centre is depressed. It’s sticky or slimy when wet & is usually found in small groups attached to decaying wood. Not listed as poisonous but don’t eat it anyway! 😲🤢 . . . .
