Being outside and spending time with the nature ancestor spirits does a whole lot a good for my personal system of operation!
This is a quiet little area in the Strathbogie ranges. Nearly 25 years ago I used to drive once a week out to this place from Mansfield to teach a yoga class. The road was windy and rough, nothing has changed on that front. I’d see giant koalas and imagine the bushrangers who used to roam the hills and hide amongst the boulders. Even though it’s close to civilisation, it is such a raw part of the bush.
Polly McQuinns is on the side towards Euroa and is named after a settler who drowned at the site. Legend has it that the ghost appears every seven years on a moonlit night, but whether she does or not, her memory is carried by her name.
Anyway, if you’re like me, time spent in places like this renews my resolve to take another step forward!
