      Kyneton Bushland Resort

      July 19, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C

      We are finally at a place were we can unpack and tour the area more slowly.

      This is one our Classic Holiday places and it is similar to others we have stayed but what makes this a little different is we have our house set in the bush. We will walk around tomorrow and take photos.

      Once we arrived we basicaly threw everything inside and went out to Woolworths for our groceries. I can finally cook something on a cooktop not the piemaker and have some veggies.

      We have now unpacked and catching up on emails and other computer work. John will go outside into the pitch black and cook a BBQ for dinner tonight, he has missed his steak. Not sure why there are no lights outside. We did find a large torch so John will use it to find his way to the BBQ.

      Lazy Morning and then Wineries

      July 20, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

      The morning was a lazy start 9.00am and still in bed. Shower and breakfast was the next item on the to do list before John started planning the next week's activities. Apparently we are going to be busy with lots of activities around the area to keep us entertained. John researched and I did all the washing.

      Whilst researching John worked out that a number of wineries are only open on weekends. So we decided the wineries required a visit from the Hopwood's this afternoon. We selected 4 but only 3 were open. They are all boutique wineries with mum and dad operations which made it just like popping around to a friends place for a wine and a chat. We purchased wine from each of the wineries, some to drink whilst away and some to bring home. One of the wineries supplies his wine to 5 star restaurants like Aria, Long Grain, Icebergs and Rock Pool.

      Back at Kyneton now getting dinner ready and catching up on computer work which never seems to end.

    • Day 10

      Kyneton

      July 22, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C

      Our morning started with a walk around the complex. Kyneton Bushland Resort has 55 individual villas spread amongst 120 acres of natural Australian bushland and it even has resident kangaroos. There are also seven apartments which overlook the 5 acre lake.

      It was a little chilly this morning but still a pleasant walk.

      We then went into town to explore Piper Street which is the old section of town. Most shops were closed but we did find a very nice cafe for Morning Tea.

      Back in the car for the trip to the main shopping section and this was very much like most other small country towns but again most things were closed. However, the main reason for going to this part of town was to try the pies at the Country Cob Bakery and Cafe. The bakery has been awarded as producing the best pies in Australia for the last 3 years. They tasted OK but nothing to drive out of your way to try.
