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
I set off for this walk, which is one of the walks in the 150 Walks in Victoria book, through Castlemaine, following the Pyrenees Hwy until reaching the Great Dividing Trail, just out of Chewton. Once at Chewton, the trail went into a forest, passing the Poverty Gully reservoir, before heading back to Castlemaine. I […]
Walk 7/150 Taradale
Taradale is a tiny community, about 45 mins drive from my house, on the old Calder Highway, between Bendigo and Melbourne. Being off the Freeway, I had never been there at all until today. Today’s walk around Taradale and it’s surrounding area, was one of the most enjoyable walks, so far from the 150 Walks […]
Walk 6/150 Black Hill Reserve

Walk 5/150 Malmsbury

I think it’s irresponsible to head out into the bush in temperatures over 41 degrees. But the extreme heatwave has now […]
Powder Magazine Walk #Heathcote
I’ve been aware and concerned that it has been a while since I last posted here, but I was horrified to see that it’s been six weeks. Where did that six weeks go? I’ve still been exercising but also have been really busy with work…and with life. So, just decided to take a little time […]
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 […]
