WRAP UP OF NEWS AND HAPPENINGS IN OUR REGION

This time last month we were still experiencing warm dry days and the ground was yet to be dampened by any rain. By the time May edition hit the streets, the rain had started. And now, only a short month later, we have not just had days of gorgeous, soaking rain but frosts and snow. A farmer's life has never been easy but in today’s rapidly changing climate, many are being stretched to their limits. You can support them directly by attending a local Farmers market where you can buy their beautiful produce direct.

Winter arriving early makes it perfect for sitting inside, curled up in front of a crackling wood fire with perhaps some local cheese and a good bottle of red.

These awards focus on regional cafes, restaurants and wineries from Mornington Peninsula all the way around to the Bellarine including Central Victoria. Our region picked up several gongs last year with Bistro Terroir (Daylesford), Larder (Daylesford), Talbot Provedore and Eatery (Talbot), Tuki Restaurant (Smeaton) and Captains Creek Winery (Blampied) all winning their category. We are keen to see who makes this years list and wish all of the businesses in our region the very best of luck.

LO S T N EW S

On a personal note, this is a bittersweet moment for me. This magazine has grown wings I never thought possible and the feedback from readers and advertisers alike has been extraordinary. However as Lost gets bigger, I am finding it harder to juggle both Lost and my brand design business, The Yellow Brick Road Agency.

Luckily there was an opportunity that presented itself at just the right time.

I'm really excited to announce that Lost has got new owners and will continue to thrive with this very special couple. You’ll get to meet them next month but I can tell you that they are as passionate about this region as I am and are busting to expand the reach of Lost even further. I wish them all the very best of success and I am sure you will all join me in welcoming them to our little Lost world.

I'd like to take this opportunity of thanking some very very special people who have been incredible in their support of me and Lost magazine. In an era where print publications are closing down, this little magazine has gone from strength to strength and it could not have been possible without the incredible stories, penmanship and friendship from Richard Cornish. Richard, you are both a gifted writer and story-teller, gentle and caring

father and a wonderful friend. I will desperately miss our regular chats and catch ups but know that even though I am stepping down, these wont stop entirely.

To my darling friend Ritchie Rich and Blosom - I cannot thank you enough for loading up your car every month and waltzing around the streets of Central Victoria, distributing Lost magazine to all with such colourful panache and verve.

You really are one-of-a-kind and if Lost readers want to meet this crazy gorgeous man, head to Ruby Slippers in Howe St Daylesford. This tiny shop is packed full of surprises. A big thank you to Danny Wootton, photographer and creative cohort extraordinaire. You are incredibly talented and have a very bright future ahead of you.

But my biggest thanks have to go to the wonderful Lost advertisers and readers.

You have all embraced this magazine with such gusto and I feel truly humbled by your generous support and enthusiasm for this region.

So for the last time from me - get Lost.

he last of autumn’s leaves tumble down Daylesford’s Howe Street as grey rain clouds gather over Mount Franklin on the horizon. Chef Matthew Carnell wanders out into the cold embrace of chilly air. "I bloody love winter," he says, holding out his arms to accept the fat droplets of rain beginning to fall. “It’s a chance to eat all the good things,” he says. “Cheese, charcuterie, boeuf bourguignon, fondue,," he says, dropping the words for classic French dishes like a waiter placing plates. We walk back into the warmth of his restaurant, Bistro Terroir. He passes a gougère, a great ball of light golden choux pastry made with Gruyere cheese. It is delicious. “I fell in love with gougères when I was working in Paris," says the chef. "It was seven in the morning, and I'd be walking past this boulangerie in the Third Arrondissement, and I would buy five.

Matthew grew up in the Melbourne suburb of Eltham back when the homes were mudbrick, the muesli was raw and when chooks kept the bugs out of the veggie gardens. At 14 he did work experience at Stephen Mercer’s eponymous fusion fine dining restaurant.

Matthew liked the classic French basis on which the menu was built and wanted to know more. At 17 he became Mercer’s plongeur or dish washer. At 18, he was his apprentice.

For four years he worked with Stephen cooking Malaysian dancing prawns and confit duck with a truffled farce. "He was brilliant," remembers Matthew fondly. "I learned so much." Matthew’s hard work paid off. He was recognised by judges in a competition that saw

After his short stint in Bordeaux, he returned to Melbourne to cook under acclaimed chef Scott Pickett at The Point. “He knew I had a love of French food and encouraged me to travel,” says Matthew. So that’s how he found himself with hot gougères in his pocket on a cold Paris morning. From Paris, Matthew travelled to the Savoie department near Chambery where his love of food of a cold climate developed. “My favourite dish, if there could be one, is tartiflette,” he says describing the casserole of potato, lardons, cheese and cream. “It’s the dish you have when you’re snowboarding or hiking in the snow all day.”

Matthew ran out of visas in France and returned to Australia to live in the family’s holiday home in Daylesford. Here he found

His father is an architect and his sister an interior designer, so it is no wonder the long thin dining room, with its bare brick walls, suspended soft lighting and lofty black ceiling work so well. The clouds darken the sky. Matthew emerges from the kitchen with some silky smooth parfait sealed in a vacuum jar and an Alpine pork dish. It is exceptionally well-cooked pork – crisp skin, juicy flesh- served with a just tart apple puree on a bed of red cabbage cooked with apple, red wine vinegar and five spice. Washed down with a little cabernet franc/malbec blend it is simply superb.

Many Hats in Guildford If you had to write a job description for Zack Grumont, it would take you some time.

He does a lot of different jobs at Guildford Winery. He spends his week in the kitchen preparing for the weekend. This involves a lot of preserving, fermenting, making charcuterie and general prep. Zack also wears another cap as one of the winemakers on this small vineyard on the main road between Daylesford and Castlemaine. When we catch up, Zack seems relaxed. The busy weekend is days away and the 2019 vintage is quietly settling into the various barrels in the cellar.

The vineyard was planted in 2004 by the owners of Guildford Vineyard, Mandy Jean and her late husband, Brian Jean. The vineyard is most unusual for it sits in a bowl-like fold

You can see the rock in the aboveground cellar, a remarkable and beautiful piece of engineering – a shed that fits perfectly into a giant slice taken out of the local rock revealing multicoloured layers of sandstone. On the ridges grow stringy bark, grey and yellow box and river red gums. Under them has been planted a native understory to encourage beneficial pests. And pests are a big problem.

One of the biggest are the kangaroos. “Just as the grapes begin to ripen,” says Zack, “They hop in and help themselves to the crop.”

Drought is also causing problems with the vineyard. A lack of moisture in the soil means it has doesn’t have as much thermal mass as soil that contains lots of water. When the icy air of

ick Andrew is a Beaumaris boy. He has that air of a kid who grew up by the sea. He has limbs slightly worn from battling against the windsurfer and a big upfront voice from talking against the wind. But Nick was an observant kid and took in all those canter levered block houses in the sand dunes as he rode around on his BMX. Those preposterous Australian modernist creations with floor to ceiling windows, flat rooves and mixed mediums where brick, steel, wood and aluminium collided to create a new form of Australian architecture. He saw it all.

He saw it all when his family moved to Asia for his dad’s work. Shop houses in Singapore, the kampungs and the tower blocks of Hong Kong.

It is no wonder he is one of the most soughtafter builders in Victoria. A laid-back dude with an artisan’s eye for detail.

Nick has built some of the most beautiful homes and accommodation destinations in the region. Where he is different from other builders is his skill in communication. “I am brought in at an early stage of the design,” he says. “I’m bought in to liaise with the client and architect.” He is known for his ability to work with budgets and keep the essence of design and detail whilst making sure the integrity of the architects’ vision is maintained. Some call him a miracle worker. Nick simply calls himself a builder.

One of his recent builds is Oikos. It was designed by Robert Nichol and Sons as a short stay retreat at Breakneck Gorge near Hepburn.

Cloaked in rusted Corten steel it sits on the side of the ridge amongst a nest of granite rocks. When hit by the first rays of the early morning sun it glows a beautiful deep gold.

Nick studied architecture at RMIT but moved across to construction. “There was this seminal moment when I was boy, playing with tools and building a box,” he says. “I realise that I was always going to be a builder.” He honed his skills working with Justin Abrahams of retail store Husk fame, constructing a harmonious interior using many different materials.

ameron Saunders and Sallie Harvey have a well-honed repertoire. They set up gags for each other and finesse the others' sentences. They have spent a lot of time together. Sallie is a huntress, cook and singer. Cameron is a DJ and record producer. Both locals, they met through their children’s schools. This summer they spent hours in Cameron’s recording studio, hidden in the bush on the outskirts of Daylesford, making an album that will be performed live on Friday, June 21. Cameron, sitting comfortably in a plush upholstered chair of the Palais in Hepburn where they are performing this month, explains the process.

“First I lay down the drums and then the bass,” he says. Sallie continues, “Then I come in and sing over the top of that track." Cameron looks at Sallie. "It's more than that," he says.

"She ad libs her own lyrics. And – she is pitch perfect." Cameron then takes each song and

produces it, laying down more layers of Sallie’s voice perhaps sampling it perhaps bringing in Sallie again to record her own harmonies.

Cameron collaborates with other artists and producers working under the name Cellula, but in this guise, he is Ezc, (pronounced eezee-see) featuring Sallie Harvey. The album is called Where You Are and is sold online as downloadable files. The publicity blurb describes the music as “Loungey funky bizness with live instruments & electronics, along the lines of something like Fat Freddy's Drop, but less dubby.” For those not familiar with those references, Where You Are is a beautifully produced collection of modern melodic music that doesn't follow traditional song structure.

There is no verse and chorus assembly.

Instead, there are meandering themes that return to a leitmotif all drenched in Sallie’s mellifluous voice, her lyrics hauntingly beautiful. When Cameron plays their work

for making grown men weep openly on ANZAC Day with her unaccompanied rendition of And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda.

That the two could come together and produce something so wonderfully complete and polished is no coincidence. Both are trained and have long CVs. Sallie trained at the VCA studying singing, and she has always sung professionally. In the 1990s she recorded a few tracks with a then well-known producer. “I had just started my chef’s apprenticeship, and a song came on the radio," remembers Sallie, her eyes flashing. "And I thought to myself, ‘that sounds like me'. And it was." The song Believe by Traveller and In Motion made its way to number one on the dance charts. Sallie has continued to perform gigs bringing her powerfully emotive voice to private and public performances in the region. She is renowned

Cameron was a self-taught musician who played the blues and punk before moving to Brixton in London in the early 1990s. There he met dance music with all its electronic generated beats and grooves head on and fell in love with the genre. A well-respected producer in the industry he plays the clubs around the district performing live over beats and bringing in guest artists such as Sallie.

he aroma of baking bread fills the backyard. Sweet, dark and nutty it rolls around on the breeze. In the kitchen out the back of a home in the heart of Daylesford, two women perform a much-practised dance as the knead, shape and bake beautiful looking sourdough loaves.

The space is not expansive, so they have worked ways to move around each other that are almost balletic. They are Katy Bauer and Alison Wilken, the brains, brawn and passion behind Two Fold Bakehouse. They are regular attendees at the Daylesford Sunday Market selling out of their bread and baked goods early. They also have a midweek Community Supported Bakehouse (CSB) scheme in which members subscribe and pay for bread a month in advance.

The two bakers met at RedBeard Bakery in Trentham. Alison was once a professional baker in Melbourne and W.A. before parking

that career to be a full-time mum. Still a dough junkie she was dropping in on to see the sourdough operations at RedBeard for her ‘bread shaping fix’, as she puts it. “I really missed the rhythm of making and shaping bread and I was scared I was going to lose my muscle memory,” says Alison. Meanwhile, Katy, a fellow bread tragic and almost half Alison's age, was volunteering at the woodfired bakery to learn more about the arcane art of sourdough baking. The two women soon established a working friendship. Owner of RedBeard and real food activist John Reid saw possibility in the duo and pushed them into a ‘forced professional marriage’, as the bakers say, laughing. John allowed them to develop their skills and their business at his bakery. But they soon outgrew RedBeard, so they left the nest and set up shop in borrowed kitchens.

Meanwhile, Alison renovated her kitchen to create a brand-new home for Two Folds Bakehouse.

LO ST PRODU CE “When we started, we did not have a mixer and had to mix by hand,” says Alison. “It was hard work,” says Katy, “But we got to know the dough by feel.” She refers to the way bread dough’s texture changes when kneaded, as the proteins develop into gluten. They are using quite specific flours. They are all stoneground flours. Some are wheat, others are ancient grains like Khorasan. These flours behave very differently to conventional, sifted roller-milled flour. The bran absorbs more water. The proteins can take longer to develop, and because the starch has not been broken down by the milling process, it takes longer for the sourdough culture to break down the starch. Alison brings down their sourdough mother from the shelf. She opens the lid of the container. The mother is a natural mix of flour, water and billions of yeasts and bacteria. It smells nutty and slightly milky.

32 | L O S T M A G A Z I N E

The dough is fermented, shaped, proved all day, allowing the sourdough to work away at the flour. During that time, a vast swathe of flavours develop in the dough. The loaves when baked have a lovely chewy crust, soft crumb with aromas ranging from wafts of banana to chocolate to roasted nuts.

Katie and Alison also bake a small range of biscuits and fruit pastries, including rhubarb danish when the rhubarb is available. They also bake fruit buns, multiseed loaves and old-fashioned malt loaf. Their breads are truly excellent.

When you head off on holidays, you want to know you will come back, having had an amazing experience and one that’s memorable, relaxing and, above all, gives you exactly the experience you were hoping for.

“There is a perception that booking yourself is cheaper than using a travel advisor, but we are professional travel designers and can often get access to special upgrades through our contacts at hotels and through our networks which can deliver our clients additional amenities and very special treatment.”

“Along with VIP treatment, I give my clients my local knowledge, I can answer questions on where to go, what to eat and what to see, and I’m there if something goes wrong - so it’s a great insurance policy having an Independent Travel Designer who knows their stuff.”

Reasons To Get Lost...

COMPILED BY SAR AH L ANG

1. Bullarto Gallery.

2. A very local musical.

Local award-winning artist Phillip has been living in Bullarto for two years and in that time has been a finalist in the Wynne prize at the Gallery of NSW, wining the Trustees watercolour prize, a finalist in the Calleen art prize at Cowra and the Kenney prize in Adelaide. His latest venture is the Bullarto Gallery – located just a short stroll from the historic Bullarto station operated by Spa Country Railway. Set in parklike surrounds, the gallery will showcase Edwards’ large-scale landscape works of Mt Buffalo National Park, the Flinders Ranges and local scenes of Wombat State Park and Sailors Creek. Plans are afoot to expand the gallery to include a sculpture garden later I nthe year. Edwards will also be offering ongoing group classes for locals and intensive weekend workshops.

Set in the Macedon Ranges, 1891, Wintersong is a glorious story of love, loss and triumph and a must-see for audiences of all ages. Music is composed by local, Scott Cameron, with libretto and lyrics by another local – novelist and author, Kathleen McLennan. The song “Dreams” from this production won a first place honours at SCALA (Songwriters, Composers and Lyrists Awards). Produced by Kyneton Theatre Company, this great musical is being held in the charming Bluestone Theatre, Hutton St Kyneton, 14-23 June. Tickets at trybooking.com, search Wintersong.

Bullarto Gallery Grand Opening: Saturday 8 June 2pm; 962 Daylesford Trentham Rd Bullarto. Below: detail of "Seasons Hour...rise"

3. Lancefield Luncheon Anyone who’s ever explored Lancefield knows that there’s a lot of dirt roads to traverse between wineries. And with that in mind, Curly Flat are joining forces with some formidable Lancefield wineries to put together a hyperlocal (3435 postcode only!) lunch at Curly Flat in July. Lunch will be prepared by one hatted Carlton restaurant Scopri - their local connection being their biodynamically farmed kitchen garden in Romsey which keeps Scopri in seasonal produce year-round. Wines will be served from Curly Flat, Lane’s End, Lyon’s Will, Parkside, and Wilimee, and their winemaking teams will be on hand to present the wines.

It promises to be a brilliant day, and what better way to experience all that the Lancefield subregion has to offer.

Sunday 7 July. More info head to www. lyonswillestatate.com.au

4. Explore Kyneton Flop House in Kyneton offer a range of beautiful period style homes and cottages to stay in and around Kyneton. They have recently released a Bike and Walking Guide to Kyneton encouraging visitors to “stay longer and explore more”. The guide takes in historic landmarks along the Campaspe River, backstreets of Kyneton in addition to the expected Piper Street highlights. The guide includes a hand drawn map by internationally acclaimed illustrator Grant Cowen who is a former Flop House guest and now tree changer to Kyneton.

Flop House offers guests the use of a Tokyo Bike and the itinerary includes a tasting at Piper Street Food Co where guests have the option of collecting a picnic before exploring the Campaspe River trail. Finally after a day of exploring, guests are welcome to indulge in a complimentary G&T by award-winning (and Lost fave) Animus Distillery.

Our bar is open every day.

And every night.

That’s a real pub.

Eat. Drink. Be Local.

Our famous character-filled bar is filled with characters. And stories. And friends. And travellers. So we open every day and every night. We’ve been a gathering place for locals to come together in times of need and in times of great celebration.

And that is why we dedicate every Friday night to host our meat raffle where all proceeds go to a local community organisation - we reckon they’re our local legends.

We have over 18 wines by the glass, 14 beers and ciders on tap, an enormous range of spirits including a mighty fine selection of single malt whisky and small batch gin. We also serve delicious cocktails from Melbourne Martini Co. With cosy wood fires, a large poochfriendly beer garden and friendly welcoming staff, the Farmers Arms is sure to complete your stay here in Spa Country.

Every day. Every night.

That’s a real pub.
