 Rural scenery is part of the Poachers Trail |
Author John Burroughs once said;
"I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see."
Watching Melbourne's rush-hour traffic, spray emitting off rain-slicked tyres, I found myself relating to his frustrated cry about there never being enough hours in a day. With deadlines banked up endlessly before me, I hankered for a sojourn in the country. I dreamed of pure air, the smell of freshly mown meadow hay, crisp laundered sheets and ambles down country lanes. I longed for a comfy lounge and roaring fire so I could finish the neglected book on my bedside table, and dreamed of gazing heavenward at the Milky Way – with nothing but a chorus of frogs to disturb my thoughts.
So, when I heard about the Poacher's Trail, I knew it was the answer to a stressed-out career gal's silent yet reverent prayer for time to recharge, reflect and restore the soul.
