Or maybe I should correctly say I moved back to the country, after an extended amount of time as an urbanite in cities from London to Perth, Canberra and Melbourne.
My sister and I...farm kids on bikesI was born in a hospital in the dry and dusty central wheatbelt of Western Australia that no longer delivers babies and since relocating for my job I now call East Gippsland in Victoria home.
Since setting up shop in Gippy (See rule #1) I have traveled the countryside as a rural journalist from dairy field days to organic gardens and tasting great local food (all in the name of research of course...) to learning about 'sirey' types.
This blog is for those who seek the quiet country life or miss it or are already living there...or maybe just for me to record my journey. It's observations of a former farm girl, who loved the joys of city life (good coffee, diversity, culture, music,Vietnamese restaurants, watching sport in big stadiums, overpriced cocktails etc.) returning back to the wide open spaces.
Country life is charming, kooky, frustrating and funny...well at least that's what I am finding out.
Goodbye city life...hellooo country living
