Head outdoors and take a snap of your favourite nature spots in Lane Cove and share with us your reasons why it appeals to you. It might be a hidden waterfall or perfect place to watch the sunset or wind down from your busy week. With plenty of green spaces and bush trails to explore, you may even find a special new locale to enjoy!

Submit your pictures along with a short blurb (25 words or less) and go in the draw to win great prizes in the Wild about Lane Cove photo challenge!

Explore with family or friends, or go solo and get creative with your camera! Get the kids involved too and reap the benefits of feeling happier and healthier as a result of spending time in nature.
