Top photo today, bottom photo taken in March. Just a BIT more water. 😆 ...

I just wanted that moment of blissful ignorance to last a bit longer... I deliberately left home before the announcement, didn’t check my phone, and when I got home 70km later, I didn’t check anything till I’d had a shower and some food. But reality had to be faced eventually! Stage 3 and return to remote learning here in regional Vic. Still it was good to get in a good long ride away from home before the beautiful weather and freedom disappears this week. Feeling for those in Stage 4, it’s going to be rough. Hang in there! #gravelgrind #otwaysgravelgrind #otwaysgravel ...

Sneaky trips down to Marengo/Apollo Bay have happened about once a week for the last year. I’ll miss these views if we end up with more restrictions tomorrow so we enjoyed it while we could... sigh... ...

Tonight we are exploring our backyard and staying at @tarndie in the Farmer’s Cottage. Tarndie is part of the Otway Harvest Trail for wool and fibre, as well as accommodation. Tarndwarncoort Homestead is home to Australia’s first breed of sheep, Polwarth, and the larger homestead was established 1840 and is still owned by the Dennis family today. For fibre artists, Tarndie has an online shop where you can buy the wool produced here in different formats such as tops, skeins and yarn. A free sample card of yarn is also available to help you choose! Follow us for more beautiful pictures from the Otways!

When the ride doesn’t quite go to plan, enjoy the views and make a plan b. My plan b involved riding to the closest town to find phone signal, then use Facebook to find one of the school mum’s who lives there so I could hang out somewhere warm before my family could come collect me! Grateful for a warm spot on the couch and a chat over a hot drink, and my hubby who came to my rescue when I knew I couldn’t make it back before dark.

Loch Ard Gorge, no filter, just gorgeous Winter sunshine. 😍 If you’re in regional Vic, get out and explore our beautiful backyard! You might even get the place to yourself at the moment 😉 Forrest really is the perfect base from which to explore the Otways and the Great Ocean Road without the busyness of staying in a coastal town.

Another delicious meal from @yeowarrahill! Can definitely recommend the roast pork meal on Wednesdays followed by raspberry spiked brownies and cream! ...

Wonderful shot capturing the beauty that is Lake Elizabeth! ...

50km of sweet gravel from Forrest across to Mt Sabine and then Wild Dog Rd all the way down to the coast to Apollo Bay. #gravelgrind #chickswhoridebikes ...
