No filter. Just gorgeous light!
Crazy weather ⛈ followed by a beautiful rainbow 🌈 19mm in about 19 minutes!
Stormy weather! So muggy here it would be a relief if it actually let go and rained 🌧
Somewhere south of Forrest is getting a lot of thunder and lightning - can’t see it but it’s constant thunder.
Last call for the school holidays!

I’ve seen two of these near the Yaugher trails many times but always off in the distance. Today they were up close to the fence so I had to stop and say hello! 😍

Apollo Bay is one of our favourite spots to visit from Forrest! We are so lucky to be able to reach the Great Ocean Road in 30 mins, and an extra 10mins gets you to Apollo Bay.
On a hot day, it’s so lovely to sneak down the coast for some fish and chips at the beach! And of course an icecream from Dooleys to finish 😉
The drive from Forrest takes you through lush rainforest, to breathtaking views, and then the ocean. 🌳 🌅 🌊

Our friends at @forrestgeneralstore had a visitor who was so sick of staying home for the last two years it was climbing the walls… 😂
Hilarious! 😝
Check out this stunning protea! The Forrest General Store have recently been stocking some flowers from the wonderful #birregurrawildflowers and I couldn’t resist bringing a stem home. The structure of a protea is just divine. So intricate!

Lake Elizabeth… when you cross the first foot bridge to start the walk, stop and take a careful look in the river. Lately we’ve been seeing the Spiny Crayfish resting on the larger boulders, or sometimes just poking their white claws out from under the rock. Photo not great but you get the idea!
It’s also that time of year where you might happen upon a snoozy snake sunning themselves on the south side of the track… 🐍 Best tip is leave your phone in your pocket when you walk so you aren’t distracted. Look ahead and check those sticks on the path aren’t wriggly ones. 😉

The wet gullies of the Otway Ranges are some of my favourite places to explore. Always something to catch your eye! 👀 🍄 🌿

If you’re planning a mtb trip to Forrest from Melbourne, why not incorporate a stopover on your way at the You Yangs? Totally different terrain to our cross country trails through shady bush! Get the best of both worlds 🤷♀️ Thanks to @sandy_d_hello and @lianday07 for coaxing me back into riding rocks again - and for these 📷! Riding bikes is so much fun! 😍 #ForrestGuesthouse

I’m not a fan of pruning roses but when they flower, I do appreciate them! 🌹 This one smells amazing! Time to stop and smell the roses! #ForrestGuesthouse #roses

This little Eastern Yellow Robin was not particularly shy - or perhaps just more focussed on whipping that worm into shape for a tasty snack!

Stop and listen…
to the water tumbling over the rocky creek bed…
to the birds all around you.
Escape the busyness of the towns and find some space.

Golden hour walking along the Tiger Rail Trail! This walking/bike path is a great way to enjoy some beautiful views of the surrounding pastures, or use it as a safe way to ride to the Yaugher Trails.

Like the idea of going to Lake Elizabeth but not sure about being able to cope with the distance or hill?
Did you know there’s another smaller body of water on the way to the larger lake? It has a viewing platform and a seat and is only about 400m from the carpark. There’s just some steps at the start down to the walking track and then you can complete a much shorter, easier walk to reach this lovely spot!
Perfect for those who aren’t up for the longer, hillier walk. 🥾 💦 🍃
