Editor’s Letter Spring and summer in the BunGeo region is my favourite time of year. Think family fun in the great outdoors, new foodie discoveries, creating long lunches and intimate dinners you’ll never forget. How about those, award-winning wineries welcoming visitors with open arms (and well-stocked cellars), breweries and distilleries creating amazing taste sensations, and the chance to kick back, beachside with pooch in tow, in one of the south west's most beautiful regions. We think you'll find plenty to inspire in these pages of Found magazine. Here's just a taste of what you could get up to over the next few months. Our cover story is all about where to wander out yonder if you’ve got man’s best friend by your side. If you’re looking for long beach walks or hikes through the countryside, we’ve got plenty to inspire you in this story. While the world has been reeling from the effects of Coronavirus, the clever inhabitants of BunGeo have been very busy, opening new restaurants and cafes, creating beautiful art and offering opportunities for visitors to enjoy the whole thing safely. Why not plan your next Girl’s Weekend Away and rediscover why you’re all friends in the first place – there are so many gorgeous places to stay and be pampered. There are three new ways to find your Beertopia too – with two breweries and a new mega-venue set to open soon. There’s a strong French connection in some of the region’s wineries too – find out more as Fergal talks to some of the Geographe Wine Region’s top wine producers. Spend 48 hours in the Capel region and rediscover all that you loved about childhood seaside holidays. Just between you and me, I’m not sure 48 hours is enough, judging by how much there is do in this beautiful part of the world – so why not linger a little longer? COVER IMAGE You’ll see too that there are plenty of events planned over the Bianca Turri next six months, from horse racing to firework shows, from long table lunches to celebrating the year of the Ox. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to holiday here this year and rediscover a region which is waiting to welcome you with open arms.
