How lucky are we to have this gorgeous rail trail on our doorstep! We rode the Korumburra-Loch section yesterday. Said hello to some scaley locals, stopped for a bite in Loch, and enjoyed a well earned local brew on the return journey.

If you're vegan/vegetarian (like me) then head to The Austral Hotel Korumburra to try their yummy new Vegan menu 😋

Loving the artwork in the tunnel. As part of South Gippsland Shire’s “Girls Own Space” initiative to promote gender equity through the Arts. I can’t wait to see what they do next 😍

While Silkstone is temporarily closed to all (except emergency services workers) I’ve been working on my home office which is in dire need of a clean & declutter. This sweet little drawing arrived in my letterbox yesterday and after a thorough spray with Glen20 it now has pride of place on my bookcase to remind me that one small gesture can have an enormous impact. Thank you letterbox angel 😇

Loving these new vintage washed corduroy bed covers by Home Republic . Our guests will be so warm and cosy over the cooler months. Oh and there’s always the electric blanket to keep you super toasty 🤗

When we first made the big move from Melbourne to Korumburra, and we didn’t know anyone, we would pick a nearby town we had never been to before and drive there to enjoy a pub lunch. What a great way to get to know our new surrounds. South Gippsland has so much to offer. Get out there and enjoy!

If you dream of discovering little villages, lush dairy farmland and pristine, uncrowded beaches, then get yourself to South Gippsland pronto.

The Coal Creek Easter Egg Hunt is tonnes of fun for the whole family. Put it in your diary :D

Whilst the scenic south gippsland wasn’t immediately affected by the recent bush fires, the whole of gippsland is hurting from lack of visitors to the area. Now’s the time to get out and support gippsland as a whole. A small thing you can do today is visit one of the fabulous cafes or bakeries in town and bring a picnic to Coal Creek Community Park and Museum. We are open today from 10am until 4.30pm.

Looking forward to coffee & homemade cake this Saturday 😋

Pick up a copy of today’s Australian Financial Review, Life & Leisure, to peruse Paul Best’s double page article from his recent road trip through South Gippsland.

A beautiful, thoughtful article - and well timed to encourage visitors to explore South Gippsland and support tourism businesses, who also felt the downturn in visitor numbers from this summer’s fires.

Congratulations to The Borough Dept. Store for raising around $20,000 dollars tonight for the Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund at their Friends of the Borough fund raiser. Attendees enjoyed good food & good company while listening to a fab old time band, then dug deep for the spirited auction, raffles and door prizes. Well done to all involved on the night. And the cherry on top was the thunder and lightening that flashed and boomed overhead while heavy rain washed away the thick smoke haze that’s been lingering these past few days. Lets hope the rain reaches those areas that desperately need it 🤞
