Description

My home in the scenic Rawson is a comfortable 3 bedroom home in village of 300 inhabitants situated at the foot of the Great Dividing Range 2 hours east of Melbourne,from here you can easily access all the delights of Gippsland ranging from The Gourmet Trail to the Gippsland Lakes to bushwalking in the Alpine wilderness.also in the area are many attractive options from horse trail riding to trout fishing in mountain streams to numerous wineries and country pubs . it is definitely an area for those more adventurous souls who wish to experience the Victorian bush.Close at hand is the old gold mining town of Walhalla,(www.visitwalhalla.com) once a frontier town with 5000 residents , now with a population of 12, over 75 tons of gold was taken from this area and is still being explored today.This area abounds with Australian wildlife with wombats being common and parrots of every description being regular backyard visitors.

The second house is in the central city Moe in the Latrobe Valley (population 30000) 40 k south of Rawson. This also is a very comfortable 3 bedroom property situated close to all the amenities of modern living. Both houses are children friendly with all the trappings of comfortable living.Both houses will be put at your disposal, use one or both or alternate, its entirely up to you.

Additionally at least 2 cars auto or manual (one a four wheel drive) will be placed at your disposal more if you need them.The area is vast and if you want to see it all cars are definitely necessary.

The Victorian coastline with its many beaches is within an easy 2 hour drive with Phillip Island being a popular tourist area famous for its koalas and penguins amongst other things.

In concluding country Victoria has many many delights to be discovered , all it takes is get out there and do it.
