Best hotel in the Blue Mountains? ⛰️ 🤔

For what seems like forever, @ardourlilianfels in Katoomba has been a bucket list stay for Monique and I.
Last weekend, we finally got to spend a night at Lilianfels as well enjoy the hotel’s historic hatted restaurant Darley’s and their trendy new thermal spa Èliva…
Let me tell you, this property well and truly lived up to the hype and then some 👌 😍
It’s also a 5-minute walk from the iconic The Three Sisters and breathtaking Jamison Valley 🏞️
You can find out more about our recent stay in the @westernweekender and @theparranews - out soon!

Wollongong has certainly changed since I last stayed as a kid in the ‘90, but it still has that familiar charm that makes this place so special… 🥹⛱️

🏆 INTERMEDIATE STATE LEVELS CHAMPIONSHIPS 🏆
KSTP — OVERALL CLUB CHAMPIONS FOR THE 10TH YEAR IN A ROW! 🔥

What a day! Our KSTP family came together for the pinnacle event of the Intermediate State Levels season, and what a way to finish! ❤️💚🖤

We had 70 athletes proudly representing KSTP across Levels 1–6 in Trampoline, Synchro/DMT and, of course, Tumbling.
The performances were outstanding. The routines were incredible. And the sportsmanship, team spirit and support shown throughout the day made us incredibly proud.
For these athletes, the competition season began way back in June at the Regional Qualifier. To see the growth, confidence, skills and determination from then until now has been amazing.
And for the 10th consecutive year, KSTP has been crowned Overall Club Champions! 🏆🏆🏆

That achievement belongs to every athlete, coach, family and supporter who has contributed to our club over the years.
👏 To our incredible coaching team:
Your professionalism, passion and dedication were on full display. We are incredibly lucky to have such an amazing team leading, encouraging and inspiring our young athletes.
❤️ To our families and supporters:
You are a huge part of this success. From early mornings and long days to endless encouragement and support — we could not do this without you. We are forever grateful that you choose to be part of the KSTP family.
🌟 And finally, to our athletes:
CONGRATULATIONS!
You showed up. You worked hard. You challenged yourselves. You supported each other. And you should be incredibly proud of how far you have come.
Hard work pays off.
Keep pushing. Keep believing. Keep backing yourselves.
10 YEARS. ONE TEAM. ONE DREAM. ❤️💚🖤 #teamkstp #oneteamonedream #tumblingislife @hawkesburypost @westernweekender
