Castlemaine – Chewton – Golden Point – Castlemaine Recently I went walking in the Castlemaine and Chewton area in Central Victoria. This area is only about half an hour by car from where I live, but it’s a walk that I’ve been wanting to do for a while, due to its historical significance. As a […]
Walk 9/150 The Monk

April A-Z Challenge: F for Farmers Market
I am back again for the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge so have made the commitment to blog every day in April except the Sundays. Some bloggers choose a Theme, and others do random posts. For me, a theme works better, so the theme I’ve chosen for 2016 is Bendigo. I live just […]
