Summer wandering with @zoelaix

RE.NU Social Wellness

#brilliantlyunexpected

From our farm stay to dining to wandering the beautiful Lake Wendouree and Ballarat Botanical Gardens, Ballarat really turned up the heat for us! 🫶🏼

Here’s everything we did in two days:

🧖🏻‍♀️ Relax and soak at RE.NU Social Wellness.

🍔 Lunch and Aperols at Johnny Alloo. Loved the burger!

🐴 Farm stay at Mingara Park Cottage. So spacious for fam and friends.

🫛 Locally-sourced dinner at The Shared Table.

🍳 Big brekkie at Webster’s Market and Cafe. So good!

🦆 Walk around the stunning Lake Wendouree and spotted so many birds.

🌸 The beautiful floral display at The Robert Clark Conservatory in the Ballarat Botanical Gardens.

🍹 Cocktail class at Itinerant Spirits. This was so fun and a great activity to do with friends.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
