Our New Life in the Country

Well we successfully moved!!!

Despite the house being full of boxes (and still somewhat so now...), in the first few weeks we tried to find some normality by starting the day with a morning walk around the pond. Mt Beauty is nestled into the end of the Kiewa Valley and one finds themselves surrounded by some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in Australia. Biased I know!

We love it and Ferg does too...

The Move to Mt Beauty


Well at the end of October Duane, Ferg and I packed up our house in Malvern Road and headed up to the High Country to call Mt Beauty home.
Our departure was met with mixed emotions as we left our little house of the last three years, our wonderful community and all our local stores (Turner & Lane, Third Earth, Tas Ka, the Milk Bar, Pink & Sons, Miguel's, Patrick Davey and not forgetting our miniature Mitre 10). I will miss our walk up to Elizabeth St park and smelling the old world gardens hidden behind camellias that remind me so much of Gran. I will miss the sound of the trams that are so uniquely Melbourne. I will miss our dear friends. I will miss the support of my Mothers Groups and gorgeous new mothers and babies. But most of all I will miss my family.
But as I have said, now many times, we are just up the road. Albeit a very long road, but within reach all the same.

Ferg amazingly slept all the way!
