The house was full of sick people for the first half of the school holidays. Poor Laney just got the short stick, but fate has a funny way of keeping things in balance. We got a nice little tax return surprise in the second week of the break and decided to go with fate and set ourselves of on short high country road trip. A bit of time at Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort and a few days in a little cabin in the forest town, Tanjil Bren. Just what we all needed. It was great to go back the forests near our old farm where I lived the best days of my youth. I don’t think my words can do the trip much justice, so I’ll let the images do the hard work.
Peace.

Saturdays lunch. Log cabin gnocchi with mixed cured meat ragu
We took our home made Boysenberry and raspberry jam with us…..good choice for breakfast.

You can never seem to have enough moss. Awsome forest, looks haunted – but in a good
way. There’s a small overgrown park a few blocks from my house, it’s only a few acres but
seems to be watching you – I can’t imgine what it’s like to stay in such a huge wilderness.
You are really fortunate to have access to that green ocean. Love the four – wheeler too –
very sureal.

It used to be a last ditch effort to save yourself from the extreme brushfires…..but after Black Saturday the government has decided that they might not be so safe. I tend to disagree….this is a massive bunker, it just needs an air tight door way installed…..

Thank You everyone for you time to visit and your lovely comments.
Peace to all!
