When we're camped way out in the bush by ourselves with not a soul around for around a week, bushwalking for 3 hours every day do we qualify for getting close to nature?
Try turning your computer off for a while or preferably go to an area in natural bushland with no reception & go for a long walk. You'll be surprised what's out there. The Aussie bush is a fantastic place.

Agree ... One solo walk that I did was along the lake at the water crossing on the south end of Cape Range NP near Exmouth. Just me ... blissful isolation .... until I found a bloody tourist Jet Boat moored at a sandy beach about a Km from the mouth. Fortunately not running that day.
I still have a couple of fragments of tinder dry scrub roots that I picked up. (probably shouldn't do that in NPs ... nor go for solo bush walks).
Took me back to my younger days when I would go solo with a large knife (or old WW2 .45 auto .. & sometimes my pig dog) chasing wild pigs.
Sitting back at night looking up at a cloudless sky that is not disturbed by city lights is my idea of a beautiful scene. White Cliffs was the best night sky I've even seen. So many stars, stunning blue sky, and it's so light you can almost read by the light.
