AND here’s cheers to all of Victoria! While our community is a bit disconnected like an unfinished jigsaw puzzle, we are doing our best to fight off the dreaded virus while attempting to keep some normality in our lives. So now spring is upon us we look forward to spending a little more time outdoors and travelling not too far from home to enjoy some of the wonderful experiences to be had across the Central Goldfields.

Day trips and weekend stays in the Pyrenees offer a relaxing and indulgent break. This award-winning wine region is under recognised for the exceptional quality of it’s vineyards. Paired with events such as the Blue Pyrenees Avoca Cup, we can enjoy a traditional country race meeting with delicious food and wine experiences. On the calendar for spring, should Covid restrictions allow, is something for everyone. Summerfield Vineyard Paella in the Pyrenees in Moonambel and the Agricultural Show in Beaufort. See music legends at November Sun in Avoca and view a huge collection of artworks at The Pyrenees Art Exhibition in Beaufort. Then, why not get a little exercise in at the Beaufort Walkfest. Ride the Pyrenees ranges in the Magic Bikeride and get aboard the historic Lake Goldsmith Steam Rally. The aforementioned Avoca Cup is the cherry on top of what will be a most exciting time to be out and about with family and friends.
