Im not going to lie, I didn't realise until putting this current edition together, that I didn't need to venture far at all, to get LOST. It's funny how things can subconsciously happen like that, and when you realise, you try and make sense of it.

That is really what LOST magazine is all about, just naturally weaving your way in life and discovering beautiful things and moments along the journey. So with that I'm going to call this edition the on foot edition, and therefore I am pleased to introduce you to some of our marvellous neighbours. You too can meet them all, in one single journey.

Mahmood ventures out to meet local artist Carly Williams and has a glimpse into her incredible, intricate artworks with a beautiful story to match.

The next stop is just down the road from us to see Luke at Daylesford Records, a refreshing concept driven solely by passion. A real hidden gem.

Around the corner, Mahmood catches up with Taj, or as she's better known, The Perma Pixie. He enters her world of all things curiosity and herbalism, and she encourages us to ask why and keep learning.

The next stop on out short journey, is to meet renowned artist, and even greater storyteller, Petrus Spronk. Petrus is one of those people whose interaction stays with you long after you meet, so humble and grounded in life and his work.

Back up the hill and we stop in at The Woodshed to see whats growing and cooking at Spade to Blade. Gary has been blending produce and making edible art for many years in various forms.

We finish up across the road at our favourite two-stop-shop, BrewJays. One stop for our morning coffee and back in the evening for a tipple, or two. Come for the drinks, stay for the vibes, is how we would best describe all that is.

Well we haven't worked up a sweat in this edition, but we hope you have worked up some curiosity and discovered some hidden gems.
