Intro

Hi All A friend of mine introduced me to her personal blog today and well I decided to start one of my own, thanks Mel. I have not given much thought as to what I will write or how often; probably just when I feel like it would be fair dont you think!

The weekend just gone opened me to a beautiful space in Victoria called Freeburgh just outside of Bright. Nestled in the heart of the alpine centre; We stayed at the Freeburgh Cabins and Caravan Park (see link) which is run by David and Andreia Collins, two very beautiful people, even when they were flat out all weekend they always found time to smile and help their guests. This stood out for me, it was hard work for them but they seemed to love it. If you ever have a long weekend and want to relax and spend some time with nature; the park has a river running right through it and has lots of space to pitch a tent or you can stay in one of the self contained cabins if it’s more to your liking. This gorgeous place is well worth the 3-4 hr drive out of Melbourne and there is a heap to do or nothing to do – your choice.

I met a group of Alpacas living underneath a mountain and watched an eagle soar above as the emus relaxed in the shade and a wallaby darted off into the bush. We had one of the most delicious meals I have had in such a long time at the Big Shed Café in Smoko; yes this is the name of the town! (Lots of tobacco fields). I had an amazing vegetarian risotto followed by a huge slice of banana cake that took 2 sittings to finish, everything was sooooo very fresh, and no café in Melbourne even comes close.

Its weekends like this that show me that time can be slowed as long as you’re willing to let it (or make it). The pictures don’t say as much as the real thing, next time you have a spare weekend (maybe make it a long one) and break the mould.
