Your Lifestyle
The wonderful joy of living in Australia is that we get to enjoy the active lifestyle that comes with the many months of warm weather and sun.
Gardening is a great way to exercise and to enjoy the outdoors. Make sure you keep within the water restriction guidelines and do your best to maintain a garden that supports the soils ability to retain water. One way to do this is by using organic mulch. For more information, see the Seniors Portal Gardening and environment section.
Another enjoyable activity which allows us all to be active to what ever level suits us is bushwalking. You could try a short, flat trail to start off with, or for the more experienced bushwalker - head up to the Snowy Mountains and enjoy the many trails through the bush-land. For information regarding bushwalking visit the website for the Confederation of Bushwalking Clubs New South Wales. On their site is a list of bushwalking clubs outside of NSW/ACT.
