25.01.2022 Beautiful Sorrento! #flashbackfriday
24.01.2022 Great news! Red Hill Peony Estate will be open for a Farm-Gate day this coming Friday 20th November, 10.30am to 1.30pm. Plenty of beautiful blooms :)
24.01.2022 Some of you in our community will be aware Olympic Skiing legend Steve Lee suffered a massive stroke at home in Falls Creek in early September 2020. Steve is a three time Olympian and the second ever Australian to claim victory on the Alpine World Cup circuit. He is a loved and respected member of the skiing community and it would be an understatement to say he needs our help. The reality is that Steve will need care for the rest of his life. This week, there is a group of fr...iends going on a massive bike ride from Melbourne to the summit of Falls Creek. Their aim is raise enough funds to help Steve purchase a vehicle that will help him gain mobility and independence. This costs $100,000. Through their GoFundMe page they have already raised just under $50,000. What can we as a community do to help Steve? Scan the QR-Code provided on the image slider with your phone camera, it will take you to the GoFundMe page. $20 is plenty, $50 is better, $100 is very kind. Steve made a living by what he got, but he made a life by what he gave. We all rose a little bit more when he represented our country at three Winter Olympics, let’s try and do the same now for him. #SteveLeeFightBack
24.01.2022 The last thing that blew our minds was the wind. #weekendmood
23.01.2022 Hats off to our hardworking #morningtonpeninsula farmers. Have you thanked your local farmer lately? Know your food. Know your farmer. You are what you eat
23.01.2022 Say the word 'cottage' and it evokes a modest, charmingly imperfect, whimsical home tucked among blooming spring flowers. Welcome to Bittern Cottage. Built in 1915 as the homestead for a rural property and more recently run as a popular French provincial restaurant, the Victorian-style building retains its original features with open fireplaces, formal rooms, a delightful front veranda and colourful traditional gardens.... With little maintenance and some imagination Bittern Cottage could be brought back to its original charm. Ideal for a #morningtonpeninsula business or tourism venture.
21.01.2022 Summer, you are welcome here #deckvibes #volpino

20.01.2022 Sunshine is the best medicine.
20.01.2022 A little taste of Greece in the Pen Lorida in Main Street Mornington has come alive today! This glamorous taverna is designed with alfresco drinks and dining in mind very much outdoor seating with prime main street Mornington aspects! Its time to catch up over a wine and a plate of mezzethes!
20.01.2022 A statement of sophisticated coastal calm, this home is pure heaven on the peninsula’s quiet side. Modernist 1970s architecture transformed into a timeless family house with tree-top views of the bay with the beach barely 100m away.
19.01.2022 Paradise Agriculture Style. A rare offering, located in beach side Somers. This small rural property of 14 acres features an immaculately presented Victorian style home, just 5 years old. Think shed, workshop, barn, stables, tack and feed room, horse shelters, ornamental lake, paddocks and an Olympic sized ménage! ... ‘Sanheath’ is a little piece of rural paradise.
18.01.2022 Worry less, paddle more!

14.01.2022 @savewesternport is a community group working to prevent the development of a new gas project in the middle of an internationally protected wetland in Westernport Bay on our beautiful Mornington Peninsula. AGL want to moor the floating gas unit a 300m long, 17-storey high ship that will receive LNG from carrier tankers. The LNG will be converted to gas via a process which will suck up millions of gallons of seawater and return it, chlorinated and seven degrees colder, to... the ocean. As Peninsula residents we are anxious and concerned about the impacts on the biodiversity of the area including mangroves, seagrass, saltbush, migratory birds, whales and dolphins.

13.01.2022 Southern Buoy Studios is proud to present the annual Landscape Prize 2020. This show has artworks online from 50+ Artists from around the country with their on depiction of our #morningtonpeninsula backyard. So sit back, grab some cheese, a glass of wine and visit www.southernbuoystudios.com.au Philip Meatchem ... '‘Le Capucin’ Portsea' Acrylic on canvas 51 x 40cm $750 Enquire now if you wish to purchase this work. --- "Le Capucin is a small cafe set in Portsea. This painting is a tiny slice of life portrayal, capturing a group of boys walking past the cafe on a glaring summer’s day. I’ve tried to give a feeling of immediacy in the way it’s painted by allowing the bright light and colour tones tell the story, rather than getting caught up in any detail. A brief glance into a moment in time." #SBSlandscapeprize2020 #landscape #painting #art #artprize #australianartist #southernbuoystudios See more
13.01.2022 We are fighting the new proposed quarry for Arthurs Seat Save Arthurs Seat www.savearthursseat.com... Please SIGN the petition. Every signature counts (even if you don't live here) The MONSTROUS proposed quarry on Arthurs Seat will see 93 acres of bushland and koala habitat bulldozed to make way for a 107 acre, 190 deep brand new granite quarry. It will cleave the vital biolink our koalas depend on in two. Our community doesn’t want it and our koalas can’t afford to have more of their habitat destroyed. #savearthursseat #morningtonpeninsula #sayno #signthepetition

There’s never been a better time to get to know our growers and makers behind our favourite drops and show them your support during this challenging time.
