We have wrapped up our summer season of local Australian tours across Victoria just in the nick of time, and what a great season it was.
With six tours across the regions of Daylesford and Bright, it has been splendid to be able to share a slice of Italy at home with many great people, both on and off the bike.
Below is a pictorial essay of the experiences enjoyed on our local tours.
