20.01.2022 I thought lying in bed and listening to the rain pattering on the roof was a good thing. It had been such a long hot and dry summer. But being out and about today on a local walk and seeing those rains translated into a running Green Gully Creek and a beautiful sunset over the Sandon ridge fronted by green farm land is a wonderful thing.
18.01.2022 What an amazing change to the landscape after a bit of rain! Even the Historical Sandon cemetery has come to life (so to speak). The possums have had their fill of the lavender and allowing it to bloom, the salvia, even in the dry hot weather continued to flower and with a supply of water available all year round, the bees are busily feasting and pollinating. I like to think we are doing our bit for the environment at Providence Cottage. The planting of Callistemon and Correas around the cottage planter boxes should bring the wrens and honey eaters. So far the plants have survived the wildlife so keeping fingers crossed that they will continue to grow. A trip to the Newstead Market this morning (run by the local CFA) netted another 2 callistemon which will go in after the guests depart tomorrow.
12.01.2022 Providence Cottage is looking pretty good now and the internal refurbishments will soon be complete. The next stage is a few minor works on the exterior and we will be ready to go! Can't wait to post the finished interior photos! Anticipated opening date for bookings hopefully early April!!!
10.01.2022 Another very warm day at Providence Cottage Sandon. Thank goodness for the cottage aircon which allowed me to finish sanding and oiling the gorgeous cedar windows which are now ready for their new blinds! The bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and meals area are ready and the hunting trophy is mounted! Next job is to finish the living area! Not long now.
09.01.2022 What a fantastic weekend to be visiting the Goldfields area of Victoria. A lovely Saturday spent visiting the Australian ceramics Open Studios Newstead Open Studios Or if you wish there are several venues for Words In Winter Looking forward to hearing Cheryl Kernott in discussion on Sunday afternoon. Both arty and cerebral in this area!!
08.01.2022 Another reason to visit this part of Victoria. Creswick is only a 20 minute easy and pleasant drive away from Providence Cottage. http://www.creswick.net/whats-on/garden-lovers-weekend-2019/
07.01.2022 Give me a home amongst the gum trees ....... An exciting day as my first Airbnb guests have checked in, the deck is complete, the cottage has been re-oiled and inside spic and span. A 5000L water tank has also been installed - now all we need is some rain!

05.01.2022 Now here’s something of interest and not so far from Providence Cottage
05.01.2022 Waiting for the lacquer to dry on the TV cabinet and then the interior will be complete! The new blinds are in thanks to my boys at AP Shutters and Blinds! Just a glimpse of what has been achieved externally, the soil arrives tomorrow to fill the new planter boxes then I have fun at the nursery selecting the plants! Front door complete and steps to be replaced in a week or so when front deck is built!
04.01.2022 Another reason for coming up to the goldfields area of Victoria. Just a 25 minute drive away from Providence Cottage. Indulge in this incredible condiment and enjoy a truffle hunt. So much to see and do! https://www.facebook.com/TruffleTreasuresVictoria/
04.01.2022 The weather has been very kind to Ross and myself as he builds the new deck for my guests to chill out on. I’ve been scrubbing away at the cedar boards and re-oiling the timbers. Oh the fragrance of the cypress decking is delicious! New steps currently being built and relocated to front and planter boxes almost complete! More photos to come
04.01.2022 Several guests have visited this beautiful nature reserve just minutes away from Providence Cottage. Ideal for bird watching or a peaceful stroll. On my list of local to-do’s! https://www.goldfieldsguide.com.au//rise-and-shine-nature/
02.01.2022 Another reason to spend a weekend in Sandon - in the heart of this wonderful trail!!
01.01.2022 Well spring has been and gone and we are back to winter in the goldfields!! What do you do on a cold and very wet Sunday? You could join the crowds at Lavendula Lavender farm for a walk in the rain or delicious lunch OR you could have joined myself and another dozen locals who attended the goats milk cheese workshop run by the talented Rosie Laszlo.
