Hello from lovely Kyneton Australia! I'm happy to be spending Christmas in Kyneton and Melbourne this year. The perfect country town and big city combo and some much needed vitamin D.
Kyneton is just an hour train journey from Melbourne and well worth the trip. An easy walk into town over a bluestone bridge (built in 1861), crossing the Campaspe River, and you're there. This town is filled with great shops, cafes, restaurants and gardens.
Prunella is
owned by two talented floral designers, Caris and Vanessa. Their shop
is filled with vintage finds, flowers and all things beautiful. I loved
the butterfly still life under the glass dome. So pretty. Bought some of
our table decorations for Christmas lunch. More on that another day!
Mr. Carsisi
is a fantastic place to go for breakfast or lunch. Their Turkish lunch
menu is pretty much perfect. I love the old pieces of coloured wood
planks mixed with the copper ceramic tiles at the bar too.
Other places to visit while you're here...
Little Swallow Cafe - great for brunch
Mollison's - homewares, vintage and gifts
Monsieur Pierre - deli, and gourmet food products
No. 2 Sweetheart - eco friendly clothing, gifts and accessories

Lucky! Looks amazing great weather, restaurants & shopping. It snowed last night here in Victoria, BC. We are doing opposite. staying in, keeping warm and reading blogs :)
Beautiful.
Well... what an original post...
Well, this is a place we know well, having lived in Blackwood for 17+ years (we are now living in Tasmania). Its a lovely country town with lots to see and do and these places to visit are all new to me. We will definitely visit there on a trip to Melbourne... hopefully in the not too distant future.
I loved this post - the pictures are lovely and, on a snowy day like today, it took me away to somewhere different for a few minutes. Thanks!

This post made me want to travel around the other side of the world. Beautiful images...thank you so much for awakening a dream.
Hi Poppies,
I am a bookbinder in Napoleons, about 30 minutes from Kyneton. Thank you for your kind words. Kyneton is also known for it's rare trades, which includes Lisa (leatherworker) and Glen (chairmaker) Rundell. There are also letterpress printers, book conservators, etch-printers, etc. It is a hotspot of the ancient skilled craftspeeps. You can see them 9and me) on Facebook at RareTradesAustralia.
Thanks,
