John is a retired University lecturer (Physical Education & IT) and Alison is a retired Physical Education teacher. We are both very keen sports people and cycle (road and mountain), run, play tennis, golf and swim regularly. We are both non smokers.
We are in a mixed group of cyclists all about our age who ride regularly around the many cycle circuits around Bendigo and in the State forest adjoining our property. We also compete in the local cross country running club which is a very social and friendly environment. John is a member of Axedale Golf club and Alison is a member of the Bendigo Tennis Complex. If interested, you would be made very welcome at any of these activities.

Barrio
Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Bendigo (population 120,000) is an attractive city with tree-lined streets and historic buildings dating back to the 1850's gold rush era.
Bendigo is home to an extensive art gallery and vibrant theatre hosting numerous world class cultural events. Bendigo and neighbouring towns Castlemaine, Maldon and Heathcote are highly regarded for their food and wine culture. Bendigo also has a strong sporting culture with a wide variety of sports on offer.
We enjoy visiting cafes for a relaxing coffee or bite to eat. There are many popular places to go in Bendigo and our favourites are the Brewhouse, The Wholesome Bean, the Good Loaf, the Corner Store Cafe and the Old Green Bean.
We are keen wine drinkers and can recommend some of the award winning local wineries where a meal and wine tasting can be a perfect afternoon. Blackjack, Heathcote and Balgownie wineries should be on the list.
See our "Attractions" page for links to many of our favorite places.

Echuca (1 hr drive )is a popular tourist destination where you can holiday on a houseboat or enjoy lunch on board a paddle-steamer on the Murray River.
