24.01.2022 4 Ladies loving our Indulgent Afternoon High Tea. Stunning setting, lovely local food and wine, peace, quiet and privacy.

21.01.2022 Spring wild flowers are showing themselves inside the Wombat State Forest. A photographers paradise! #daylesfordtours

21.01.2022 After a dry October, 26mm of rain falls and the Wombat Forest comes to life with a parade of colourful fungus. Some springing out of fallen logs and other bursting up from underground. I snapped these while taking clients out looking at wildflowers

15.01.2022 As winter loosens it's icy grip from Daylesford and we start to feel the sun again, why not indulge yourself with a beautiful picnic surrounded by our stunning local scenery! How lucky we are to live here!

15.01.2022 Just along Lake Rd is a lovely specimen of Acacia Leprosa...its a quite rare Acacia (wattle) because it has blood red flowers not the usual yellow/ gold. Lots of hidden gems if you come touring with me!

12.01.2022 Heading off this morning to show visitors to Daylesford places in our gold history. Can you imagine the stories this place could tell....

12.01.2022 A little bit of gold rush "royalty". Thanks to the Daylesford visitor information centre I was contacted by these two lovely ladies, Patti and Mary who are direct descendants of one of the 3 La Franchi brothers who came to our region from Ticino Switzerland in the 1880's to search for gold. The brothers set up their little stone houses in the forest near Kooroocheang and Patti and Mary have tried 3 times unsuccessfully to locate the place. Patti had travelled from Northern California to fulfil this dream. What a privilege it was to take them there and reconnect them to this place and their family history.

10.01.2022 Today marks 150 years since the Lost Children Of Daylesford were found. The tragic loss of the 3 little boys in 1867 and the incredible efforts to find them made by the people of Daylesford in the most appalling weather is part of the DNA of our town.

09.01.2022 One of the many hidden gems keeping a silent vigil in the forest. They are all around Daylesford if you know where to look!

08.01.2022 Photographed in Lake Rd resplendent in glorious sunshine, these 2 beautiful Waratahs show just how well they are suited to living in Daylesford's climate and soil. Flora and fauna tours are one of my specialties...

07.01.2022 Have a look at the colour of this epacris impressa seen this morning in the forest. Did you know its Victoria's floral emblem. We saw it this morning on our Goldfields Ramble.

07.01.2022 I have been reading concerned comments on the Grapevine about the heritage and history of Daylesford being lost and 1 year ago I decided to scale down my involvement in international tourism and concentrate on showing people the marvellous attributes of our hinterland. So I take people to the quiet places that touch the past. All around us there are old tunnels, sluice lines carved through the forests by pick and shovel, long silenced remnants of machinery and old huts where people sheltered from the blistering sun and the biting cold as they toiled to make their fortune. So, rest assured dear reader, I am doing my best to keep our history alive!

07.01.2022 School holidays coming up so if you have friends or relatives coming up how about letting me entertain them for a few hours by booking them on a local 4x4 goldfields tour around Daylesford, Maldon and Castlemaine!

06.01.2022 This is the last photo I can find of the big tree that stood about 50 metres to the east of where the little memorial is. It fell down after a big storm in 1950.

03.01.2022 Out in the Wombat this morning taking guests to look at gold mining relics I met a face watching us.... Seemed not friendly at first but we parted on good terms having left only footprints behind and respect for the trees and those who came before us.

02.01.2022 Another of our districts hidden gems visited this morning. A wonderful link to Daylesford's history. This place could tell so many stories of another time. It's a place that we must now respect and protect.
