Despite the unseasonably cool weather, we relaxed at a lovely little beachhouse near Apollo Bay, on Victoria's Surf Coast.
The surf was too wild for Gus to swim in the sea, so we spent a lot of time among the rockpools at the end of the beach.
Gus and Snoopy didn't mind the rain.
Our evenings were spent lounging in front of a crackling wood fire, with fine food and wine, and soft jazz.
Now that's how I like to start the year!
