Welcome

by Steve Wroe, CEO Daylesford Macedon Tourism

As a father of young girls, the slow but steady march of gender equality fills me with hope. I hold up women who successfully forge their own path as beacons of light, to Lola and Frankie, our amazing girls. Living in Daylesford, we are surrounded by such women, and they are featured in this edition of our magazine. These ‘pioneers’ are women I have been fortunate enough to get to know…and to learn from. I hope my daughters grow up with the same passion for life and drive to make a difference as Alla, Tina and Carol.

Oh, and another successful woman has moved into our ‘hood…you might have heard of her...Megan Gale? We chat to her about Daylesford. We also feature the amazing Hepburn Bathhouse, help you elope, showcase a local’s ideal foodie road trip, give you tips for a remote weekend away, have the world’s best Hanging Rock guide take you on a stroll, and lots more.

Back to my girls; I sometimes wonder which of my predilections they might inherit. If it’s a pathological addiction to nice cheese, we have them covered. A Frenchman has moved in and is doing amazing things with cheese.

Enjoy the read, see you up here soon.
