We certainly are living through interesting times. As I’m sitting inside, feeling lucky to spend my self-isolation in Victoria’s most beautiful region, I’m reminded of my favourite saying. As the story goes, many years ago, a Persian king asked a group of sages and wise men to create a phrase which would be applicable to all imaginable situations. In short, after many failed attempts, they finally succeeded in producing a phrase which satisfied the king: “This too, shall pass”.

Thank you to our amazing Lost community, you are the reason this magazine is here. We are so grateful and dedicate this to you. 

Now, let's see what amazing things our team got up to this month!

Larissa popped the celebratory bottle of champagne with Sam and Liam, welcoming their new restaurant and bar, Beppe to the block. 

Michael didn't stop with the bottle opening, and shared a nice cold brew with Scott at Red Duck Beer in Ballarat. 

Mahmood already started his self healing journey with an afternoon at the Hepburn Bathhouse. Only a short drive up the road, he also visited Lori to listen to the wonderful family story at Camp David Farm. 

Helen dived into the history and warmed our hearts with her words of community regarding the Trentham Spudfest. 

Mahmood was then transported to a world of creativity and emotion, as he and Cristina strolled through Blackgallery Daylesford. 

Anthony took a trip to the farm and bumped into a few alpacas. 

As we work through life, onwards and upwards, check out some of the initiatives our region has implemented. Let's continue supporting our community.

Thank you again for your kindness, what better time than ever to get Lost.
