Welcome

from Daylesford Macedon Life - Spring 2021

Classes and Workshops

by Steve Wroe, CEO Daylesford Macedon Tourism

I’m a couple of months shy of turning 50 and I honestly can’t remember a time that was more confusing, surreal, absurd or just flat out exhausting. And no, it is not about being smack bang in ‘middle age’. This damn virus is just a real pain in the bum. I’m sure you feel the same.

I read a report published recently about what people are looking for in a mini-break in 2021. It boiled down to: taking scenic drives, having easy access to nature, eating fresh local produce in a cracking restaurant, and enjoying a little bit of well-earned indulgence.

Our little part of the world has all that, plus historic villages, great farmers’ markets, boutique wineries, awesome pubs…anyway you get it. As a consequence of this, our beleaguered tourism businesses have been pretty busy in the halcyon days between lockdowns. So, we love you and want you to come and get your post-lockdown tonic, but please plan - and book - ahead.

This edition of our magazine showcases all the wonderful things you can do in spring. My favourite season! It’s the ‘Friday night’ of seasons, with months of good times ahead. My wife is an autumn person…the ‘Sunday arvo’ of seasons…

Anyway, things are so much better in spring. Come up and I promise you’ll feel better for it.
