Basically it’s Coffee NirvanaIn Castlemaine THIS month, we’ve gone extreme! We’ve gone straight to the source, well as good as… Coffee Basics (1 Halford St, Castlemaine) not only share our love for coffee, they took it a step further and started roasting the blessed bean! Yay for them (and us) Freshly (micro) roasted delicious coffee beans on our doorstep… And they know their stuff… how’s this: Did you know when coffee is roasted it pops just like popcorn? AND that coffee is the second largest legal commodity traded on the world market after oil? AND that Arabica beans have approximately 11.5mg caffeine per 8 gram shot compared to a can of coke at 46mg! Basically, there’s nothing basic about Coffee Basics. Drop in for a shot/cup/bag of fresh roasted heaven. Mmmmm. Oh, and that is their stunning roasting machine gracing this month’s cover.

It’s Spring Carnival! Giddy Up!!We heart the Horsies,
SPRING Carnival is upon us. It’s that special time of year when you stride confidently to the TAB and put a dollar each way on race 4 number 12… or something like that. Whatever. The races are actually all about the frocks, the champers, the fascinators and remembering to pack a pair of ballet flats for later, when your feet are crippled by blisters. So with that in mind lock the 2011 NMIT Kyneton Cup into your race meet diary. Held smack bang between Melbourne Cup Day and Oaks Day, (Wednesday, November 2), the $100,000 Kyneton Cup is run at one of Australia’s most picturesque country racecourses, NMIT Kyneton Park. Don’t waste a day of that spray tan. Adult tickets are just $25 at the gate. Oh, apparently there’ll be some horseracing too. More info kyneton.countryracing.com.au

There’s a Pattern toPermaculture PaparazziWITH a camera on every phone suddenly everyone’s Ansel Adams or Annie Leibovitz. Fortunately for art’s sake there are still real photographers out there checking their F stops and ASAs and creating incredible photographic art. Oliver Holmgren is one such lens lover. A young Hepburn photographer Oliver has roots in permaculture and a deep knowledge of the land, landscapes, and the environment, and his subject matter benefits from his knowledge of all the above. Oliver records the intricate details of frost crystals, to dramatic mountain vistas, and is showing his work at a new exhibition; ‘Patterns’. Opening night is Friday, November, 4, at 6pm. The exhibition will run Saturday, November 5, and Sunday November 6, at Door 3 Gallery, East Street Daylesford. More info photography.holmgren.com.au

Three Two One…. Blast Off!Turbines ready to Launch!The Hepburn Wind story is really quite remarkable. Six years ago a few sustainably minded peeps got together and built a community owned wind farm. The first of it’s kind in Australia. ‘Our’ twin turbines have been spinning for a few months now, and it’s time to celebrate! The Hepburn Wind launch Festival will be held Saturday, November 5, at the Leonard’s Hill site (Daylesford-Ballan Rd) Everyone is invited to take a peek at the big spinny things, find out how they work, have lunch on the hill, (local groups will be running food stalls on the day), listen to keynote speaker David Karoly, chill under the big blades and listen to local music, and take a tour of the site. The Launch Festival runs 12:30-5pm, entry is $5. More info: hepburnwind.com.au.
In Trentham TownCool Runnings
MELBOURNE Cup and Spring racing festivities behind you (quite literally)?? Get your skates on and start training!

Winding through the cool country that is Trentham, the trail takes you on 5km or 10Km routes, with the 5km suitable for walkers or people with disabilities. And as most of the run is around 750 metre above sea level you may need to acclimatise or at the least bring a jumper!

For dining options turn to page 59 and for more info on the Classic visit: coolcountryclassic.com or call: Jeff 0418 555 606.

THIS particular lost contributor was once overtaken by a geriatric jogger whilst riding her bike…. erm… down hill. To that end, this particular lost contributor shall not be participating in the Ride for Bikes, Sunday, November, 13.

trenthamgolf, bread, falls & friendly folk
Is it a golf town? Is it a farm town? Is it a forest village? Is it boutiquey and gorgeous? Can you get good fair trade organic coffee? And an enormous oversized statue of a giraffe? Yes. Yes to it all. It’s Trentham… and yes, you really should pay a visit.
whyAs above, tiny Trentham is many things to many people… but since Trentham is our little secret, you’ll still be able to get a park in the main street on a Saturday.
whatBuy still-warm organic sourdough currant buns, peruse galleries and antiques over your latte, see live music, eat truffles in a decadent stable and celebrate the humble potato.
howTrentham is a picturesque 15-20 minute drive from Daylesford through Wombat State Forest and farmland, 15-20 minutes from Woodend and 15 minutes from Kyneton.

Review of the Month
You just have to love a Heathcote Red, and what a Cracka this one is! The 2007 Shelmerdine Cab/Sav is radiant with sweet fruit and has an attractive leafy complexity. It's big for sure but by no means overbear-ing. It is drinking well now and will further improve until 2015. This is a ripper of a wine and it is half price, so stock up now ready for the festive season. Enjoy, Foxxy.

Magic, Mayhem, Music, Mirthmmmm… smells like buskers to us!BUSKERS come in all shapes and sizes… and sounds. On one hand you have your kiddies busting out a bit of squeaky violin practice, and on the other you have the reincarnation of Hendrix. Of course in between you have weirdo humanoid statue types, (how do they get that paint stuff off?) jugglers, acrobats and always ALWAYS some bloke who thinks he can belt out a tune on the bagpipes. And every single one of them will be Elphinstone bound for the Gateway to the Goldfields Busking Festival. The Festival begins 5pm Friday, November 11, at the Twilight Trash and Treasure market, and plays till 9pm Sunday, November 13. Busking of every description will be held on every corner throughout Elphinstone.

As part of the Busking Fest there will be a Children’s Carnival (Saturday, November 12, 11am-3pm) at the Elphinstone Hall, including the amazing Tim Tim, bubblologist extraordinaire, and loads of carnival games, competitions, art workshops and fun for kids, (and a fully catered café for the parents – phew!).That afternoon from 3 – 5pm, Martin Myles will be performing a mini launch of his new album Thelauras, at the Elphinstone Hotel (37 Wright Street).Other activities for the weekend include a vintage car rally, an art exhibition opening, local food and wine, and gala concerts.

clever bower birdFly north to the sun
DAVID Bromley is one of Australia’s most prolific and recognisable artists, and for more than two decades he has been a dominant force on our arts scene, and as a self confessed ‘bower bird’, he has been a passionate collector of art, antiques, objects and ephemera. David has decided to leave town and head north to the sunshine (can’t blame him really), and to lighten the load, he’s having a garage sale… well sort of... he’s selling off his private collection at auction. His Daylesford gallery, A Day on Earth (Shed 4, 29 East Street) has been a living breathing museum and studio for the artist over the past couple of years and later this month will become an auction house too. Viewing is Saturday 19th until Saturday 26th (9am-5pm weekdays, 10am-5pm weekends). The auction takes place at 12pm, Sunday, November 27. More info visit: leonardjoel.com.au.

just geographically misunderstoodNot at all lost, ever...
(The other perspective) WHEN the lost team met with Brendan Murray to be briefed for one of his GPS guided Secret Forest Walks, I kind of stopped listening at the point where he boasted, “no-one has ever been lost on my walks. Ever.” You see. Big secret: I can’t read a map. And struggle to follow a GPS. And… I’m definitely in the category of ‘folk who turn maps upside down’ to get their bearings. Spin me around once and I’m lost and struggling with which way is up. Heck, you don’t even need to spin me… I can get lost in my own home – okay, so maybe that’s slightly exaggerated. But you get the idea. I was busy picturing tabloid headlines ‘lost in forest’, ‘lost people get lost’, ‘lost in translation (with a GPS)’, lost is lost, again I think you get the idea. Lots of quirky bylines with me as the subject. My secret exposed to the world. Well, I can laugh out loud at the fact that I’m not lost. I. Did. It. Made my way out of the forest following a map and GPS! Brendan Murray offers a military style briefing (no stone unturned) prior to your departure, complete with a cleverly packed kit of supplies full of necessary safety stuff (and yummy snacks) to boot. There are more than 10 walks (of varied gradings) to choose from through nearby forest with stunning natural features to admire along the way. We chose the Sailors Falls (short) walk just to be sure. And we are hooked. So, Brendan Murray can continue to promote his walks with

no man, woman, (or editorial team) lost. Ever. For more information, descriptions of walks and bookings go to secretforestwalks.com or call Brendan directly on 0418 301 281. He even does GPS treasure hunts and special workplace team building sessions.

aplenty in Hepburn Creative paths
the world (okay, well Victoria...then)The Smallest Art Gallery in
A WHILE ago I created a ‘for charity’ window display at the Red Star Café, (115 Main Road Hepburn Springs), which gave me the idea of creating a Window Gallery… A perfect opportunity and great position. ‘When you have a good idea, act upon it’. I spoke to Ed at Red Star and he also thought it a good idea. We agreed that there would be a monthly display which I would curate, and install in such a way as to show the artist’s work off to its greatest advantage. I called for interested artists to contact me send me an image of the object(s) they intended to display. Any artistic expression considered. This mini exhibition runs from the first of each month, giving the artist the opportunity to gain some local exposure, while providing an artistic point of interest in Hepburn. The Red Star Window Gallery Project commenced on the October 1, and already seven months have been booked in advance. Contact Petrus if you are keen to participate, phone: 5348 3467 or 0437 668 090.
FOR decades this region has inspired creative types to do what they best. Artists are drawn to the area and masterpieces are created in backyard studios around every corner. If you need a little push to rediscover your inner artist Hepburn Art School is here to help. Learn to paint like a pro in your very own backyard, well in Georgiana Archer’s anyhow... Georgiana specialises in teaching drawing and painting to adults and is based in Hepburn Springs. From basic pencil on paper sketching to acrylic canvasses, the classes (with a maximum of six students) are perfect for all levels of ability as they aim to build skills, techniques and knowledge to enable individuals to develop their own creative path. For bookings phone: 0414 674 441 oremail: [email protected] or phone. For more information on classes and timetables visit: hepburnartschool.com.au

Castlemaine StyleRock the Casbah
IT’S a little bit Castlemaine and a lot bit Casbah. The Maurocco Bar at the iconic The Midland Hotel (2 Templeton Street Castlemaine), is an exotic, sumptuous feast and the perfect place for after work (after shopping/after sightseeing/after anything) drinks on a Friday evening. This month Truly Madly Deeply will summon up sultry ballads, swing and Latin grooves to coax you (or throw you head-long) into a relaxed weekend vibe. The Midland Hotel has been accommodating travellers, since it was built in 1879. The Maurocco Bar and unique neighbouring boutique stores of Fashion Central (on the ground floor of the Midland Hotel) are more recent tenants, so after you’ve perused and purchased, surely it’s time for cocktails? The Maurocco Bar is open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening. Truly Madly Deeply perform Fridays in November 6-9pm. More info: 5472 1085.

now tradingTopham end of town
WHEN Melinda Ross paused for just a moment between travel and fabulous careers in design, Topham Trading (39A Albert St, Daylesford) was the fruits of that (laboured) pause. And lucky us, she has set up shop right on our door-step. Melinda has searched the globe for treasures, and shares with us the quirkiest trinkets, starting at just a couple of dollars – to Felted throws by Sophie Prieu (oh yes, the ones they sell at Conran in London and Paris and Anthropology in NY… yup, THOSE throws…) Her exquisite range includes rare and exotic collectables and striking pieces of designer furniture. Melinda has hand selected ethical trade fabrics from the Better Worlds Art Scheme, which promotes reconciliation through cross cultural projects and unites artists through collaboration, particularly Aboriginal artists from remote communities. Topham Trading is open daily 10am – 5pm. More info: 5348 3164.
and rolling at the RockGetting on the Piste
THE Woodend Hanging Rock Petanque Club Incorporated is really just a schmancy title for ‘A bit of fun with mates after work’. Petanque is a beautifully simple bowls game. In our interpretation of the rules, it seems you just need to get your Boule closest to the Jack. Ohhhhh if only it were that easy! There is a detailed 26 page rule book from Petanque Australia outlining the finer details every Petanque player worth their official shooting mat should own. If you’d like to learn the ins and outs of a good roll on the piste, gather a few pals (with good hand-eye) and rock up to the Rock for a roll. Petanque at the Rock Social Petanque Thursdays 5:30pm. Hanging Rock Reserve 4km east of Woodend. For more information call: 5427 2477 or visit: petanqueattherock.com.au.

A Rose by any other name… would probably have a tattONCE a symbol of toughness and attitude, the tattoo has become an accessory. Schoolgirls are shelling out their hard earned pocket money for cutesy ink and footy players wont line up for goal without a sleeve of technicolour tatts.One man who knows a thing or two about tattoos is Angry Anderson. Mr Anderson is of old school tattoo heritage and loves skin art so much that waaaay back in 1976 he named his band after them. Rose Tattoo have been rockin it for donkeys and are bringing their hard rockin tunes, their noise, attitude and more tattoos per square centimetre than any other Aussie band to The Palais (111 Main Street Hepburn Springs) on Sunday, November 20. Tickets are $35 pre sale or $75 dinner and show. More info and bookings go to the palais.com.au
Homewares in HepburnBubbly, fun and refreshingTHE DIY revolution has taught us how to whip up a mezzanine extension with an escalator and reclaimed water feature fountain before lunch, but unless you’re one of those designery types (who know which cushion to scatter, which throw to throw, which colours sing, and which look like Fido’s coco pops) it’ll probably still look a little bit wrong. Luckily for you, Christowel Designs want to impart a little interior design wisdom and help you create a beautiful home. Their homewares gallery and shop stocks an eclectic range of contemporary pieces, accent furniture, art, textiles, outdoor décor and gifts that’ll have everyone asking WHERE did you get that?!… in a good way, we promise. Christowel Designs Gallery and Shop is at 10 Forest Ave Hepburn Springs. The Showroom and shop is open 7 days, and 24 hours online at christoweldesigns.com.au

MOVEMBERMo Bros… We support you!TOM Selleck, Nick Cave, Merv Hughes and Salvador Dali, this month you’re in good company fellas, as Mo Bros of the world unite in a (hairy/grotesque/stunning/shocking) display of facial hair.
To the uninformed, the sudden explosion of fuzzy faces around the traps can be disconcerting, and often slightly terrifying, as blokes from all over the world sprout their manly moustachios to raise bucks for charities. In Australia the Mo Money supports the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia & Beyond Blue, so gents, feel free to go forth and cultivate, tweak, twist and twirl your mos. Raise as much cash as you can for these fantastic organisations… We support you! (but dammit, come December 1, we’ll be handing you the razor at daybreak). Movember is held throughout the month of November. For more info and to register go to: au.movember.com.
