Macedon Regional Park

We recently visited Macedon Regional Park for a bush walk. The 5km walk to the top of Mount Macedon is steep, and slippery in parts. But, the scenery along the way is beautiful and there is a good view over the park and nearby town from the top.

Vineyards around Geelong

We recently did a tour of vineyards around Geelong, Victoria. Geelong is one of Victoria’s lesser known wine regions.

Continuing problems with our Avanti Pasta Wiz

Our second Avanti Pasta Wiz broke for the same reason as the first. The manufacturers have used soft metal gears that can not take the stresses involved in rolling pasta. It seems we are not alone in encountering this problem. We have not been able to make a single batch of pasta successfully with this machine before the gears distort, jam, and the mechanism can no longer turn.
