Fowles Wine are advocates of sustainable food and forging greater connections with the people and places behind their dishes.
They blend wine to specifically complement their foods, and grow free-range lamb at their farm in Longwood. They have also produced a range of wine called Farm to Table that is crafted to match the more 'open' fibre and 'softer' texture of farm-raised meat.

Black Caviar was born on 18 August 2006 at Gilgai Farm in Nagambie, Victoria. She grew up on the Goulburn River property and then went to Swettenham Stud in December 2007 for a 10-week yearling preparation where she was then sold on behalf of Rick Jamieson to the current owners to be trained by Peter Moody.
The champion mare then went on to become the fastest horse in the world, undefeated in every race.
On 17 April 2013 it was announced that Black Caviar retired from racing.
Sculptor Mitch Mitchell created the work in his Richmond studio from a photo of Luke Nolen riding the wonder horse home in the Schweppes Stakes at Moonee Valley in October 2011.

Goulburn Weir is a weir built between 1887 and early 1891 across the Goulburn River near Nagambie, Victoria, Australia.[1] It was the first major diversion structure built for irrigation development in Australia. The weir also forms Lake Nagambie where rowing regattas and waterskiing tournaments are held.
The Goulburn Weir allows water to be diverted by gravity via the Stuart Murray Canal and Cattanach Canal for off-river storage in the Waranga basin, for later use in irrigation.
The weir is 209 metres long by about 16 metres high. Its design was considered very advanced for its time, so much so that it featured on the back of half-sovereign and ten-shilling notes from 1913 to 1933. The structure also contained one of the first hydro-electric turbines in the southern hemisphere, used to supply power for lifting and lighting.

A little bit further afield, the Balaclava Mine was an open-cut mine in the Australian ghost town of Whroo, Victoria.
It opened in October 1854, one year after gold was found at the nearby Rushworth. By 1881 the number of employed miners in the area had dropped to 150, and mining in the Balaclava Mine ceased in the 1920s. The site now operates as a tourist attraction.
