Just the name evokes thoughts of long, balmy days, playful breezes and long, cool drinks.
Summer up here is like a cocktail in a long glass – beautiful to look at, refreshing and totally relaxing. This edition of our Summer Magazine will help you plan your getaway-in-style in Melbourne’s most beautiful backyard.
Pet owners will rejoice as we give you the inside word on where to go for a pet-friendly getaway. No more guilt about leaving the fur-baby at home. No bones about it, (sorry), studies tell us that pets need a holiday too, so bring your extended family for a mini-escape you’ll all enjoy.
Our friend and collaborator, Richard Cornish has penned a hauntingly beautiful story about Daylesford’s ‘lost children’. 150 years on, this remains one of Australia’s saddest stories, and yet it is one that united the people of Daylesford; and still does to this day.
And ladies, if you’ve been yearning for a girls’ weekend, check out our ‘Girlfriend Getaway’ piece. There is no better place for a fun weekend away than the Daylesford and Macedon region. We’ll give you the inside tips to the best weekend ever. See you in summer. #daylesfordmacedonlife daylesfordmacedonlife.com.au
