“Why do I feel so good here?” I asked Kate, our guide for the amphibious ship I was going out, after an excited “wilderness cruise” around the coast of Wilson’s promotion. I just spent two and a half hours jumping over the waves, Search for marine eaglesrounding the longest top of the mainland Australia And watching young puppy seals play in the sea like River Mališan in the Lofty Jama. It is a landscape of smooth intractive boundary boules that are included in the cobalt blue ocean, emphasized by the pre-efficiency White sandy beachesEveryone with a view of densely wooded mounting Oberon, stands as a benevolent guardian over the graduation.
“It’s simple,” Kate replied. “It’s Granite, it’s packed full of quartz.” I must have looked a little empty as she continued to explain how Wilson’s graduation (and a big part of Gipppsland) forms from granite, and quartz within her are said to promote mental clarity, emotional balance and spiritual relationship. I wouldn’t be able to agree, I didn’t feel so calm For years.
I travel around the western and southern Gippsland, a beautifully diverse and picturesque area of Victoria that stretches from the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, all the way to the border of the New South Wales. Most heads heads in the west, towards the Great Ocean Roat when landing in Melbourne, but we went to the east.
It wasn’t just an extraordinary landscape, he also attracted outstanding people. Two days earlier, I sat on the back porch still water, renovated white klaperske slabs the original country house of the Brodone Hall of Garden in western Gippsland. The sun has softened in the sky over Tarago tank, and the baw baw is mounted somewhere in the background. I listened to Kookaburra enjoying the evening brad-maha, kicks over the trunks of Gumtrees, only Magpies Serenad were interrupted with his lyrical song and five peacocks for their evening walk.

The roof hall is one of the best southwests of Australia, realized from the vision of the landscape designer of David Musker and his husband, Philip Hunter, physiotherapist and spiritual healer. They created spaces that may revive the most clear souls. A tour of the garden with Philip, I felt a calm that is so rare (especially with a three-year-old), getting wild on intricate planting to feel completely harmonious together. It’s like I was in the hugging of an old friend.
The landscape of GIPPLAND forgives, with slight rolled hills with intermittent spots of cows and occasional flocks of lambs grazing on a rich pasture. Despite the heat of the summer, the earth was still green. There is no sharply exposed feeling that you could connect to the Australian landscape. The hills of the West Gildland are giving up with lush rainforests that are the gate of the Australian Alps.
Traveling with my bridge that haunted the gentle walk through the ancient forest of mountain ash trees – including a very tall eucalypt, originally in Victoria, he had one of the largest carbon capture capacities in the world. We followed the old railway to the bridge for Noojee for the trest, impressive part of engineering, made entirely from wood, standing 21 meters high and includes 102 meters.

But the bridge was nothing compared to the surrounding blank forests. I felt Liliputan as we planned a short loop in the rocky path for the Toorongo and the amphitheater fall. Mountain Ashes grow here at 115 meters height, their lower trunk built into the deep moss of the marital bark reminded of the hexagon in the 1970s. Quiet underline dominates prehistoric ferns of the tree that grown along the base of these giants, with the only sounds that come from a water cascades through granite boulders, lush green lower canopies.
The abundant landscape is reflected in numerous manufacturers for ventilation and beverages in the region, which we experienced in Hogget Kitchen Restaurant surrounded by vineyards. Chef and owner Trevor Perkins and his team share space with collective winemakers – you can enjoy searching for fermentation containers and barrels through a large window on the toilet. The conversation about “local” and “seasonal” is not just for the show – it is visible in every mouth and sighs. The complete wall panel located next to the entrance to the open kitchen in the dining room ventilation, the origin of all the manufacturers of Perkins works with the entire region, including its “Mom Veggie Garden”.
This was a great inspiration as we headed south through a short tour of Phillip island to see a small but powerful “Penguese parade” – the largest colony of small penguins in the world, while they spent in the south ocean in the southern ocean. Their potential determination in the face of adversity and predator should be an inspiration for all of us. Phillip Island is often far to the east because visitors travel from Melbourne to see this spectacle, but I couldn’t wait to travel deeper.
As a Wine loverI heard that South Gipsland was one of the most dynamic wine regions in Australia. From what I tasted, I was excited. Lisa and Justin Jenkins, of the Fleet’s wine, welcomed us in their newly opened “cellar door” – great, but inviting the utilitarian winery, placed with brightly colored tables and chairs. We tried surrounded by the stacks of the barrel and winery equipment, they cleaned, ready, waiting in anticipation of the upcoming harvest – and the basketball hoop on which I forgot to record. I couldn’t think of a better place to spend the weekend in the afternoon for drinking, the melody “the good times” of the jungle seemed to be the perfect choice for playing winery.
Wine conversations have led to discuss other local producers: their good friends of Lisa and Marcus from dirty three in Inverloch – with their welcoming basements in a side street, where their top wines cannot detect with some seriously delicious divided plates. Handmade pizza, pasta and gelato are freshly prepared by Francesco and his brother in the open-air – Francesco would be a dance for Marcus and Lisa daughter 21. Evenings. And that I had to stop Gurnes apple near the graduation. For such an expansive region, everyone felt so connected to each other.
We drove on Banksia and in Moonah a tea tree-lined blank roads surrounded by agricultural land, with occasional views of wild, but calls, beaches. Editing the ridge as we approached Gurneys Cider we had the first sight of Wilson’s promotion. Gurnett family (Greetings from Somerset in the UK) She chose a good place for her tasting, located at the top of the hill, with all the sky opening overlooking the bass and sea entrance. I could figure out why Bill, Lorraine and their young guys then decided to move. After spending a year on graduation as a ranger, Bill didn’t want to be surprised “What if …”

Return to graduation, I took a short walk on myself to the creaky beach. In the trajectory of the dunes, a brush of cotton and sage, I passed a branch that stands just a few meters from me. None of us moved, we were just looking at each other peacefully, and then he continued with the stutation of his boobial leaf, the kind of original assault shrub. Sitting on the beach, running with your fingers through the petty sand made of a rounded quartz grain (compressed underfoot, creating a high creak that provides a beach name), I feel my sense of “what if”. Gippsland feels like a place where everything is possible, and that was the only souvenir I was supposed to withdraw with you.
