Stay in one of our yurts as your base and explore the Great Southern Rail Trail.

Pedal your way through the villages of South Gippsland 🚴‍♀️. Stretching more than 130km from Nyora to Yarram, the Great Southern Rail Trail winds through rolling green hills 🌿, farmland and welcoming country towns, with plenty of reasons to hop off the bike along the way.

Start in Nyora and follow the trail through Loch, Korumburra and Leongatha, where cafés ☕, bakeries and breweries 🍻 make for easy pit stops. Continue through Koonwarra and Meeniyan, where local food and country hospitality are all part of the ride 🚲.

Continue on through Fish Creek and Foster, with galleries 🎨, quirky shops and spectacular views towards Wilsons Promontory ⛰️. Stop at Gurneys C***r, accessed directly from the trail, before continuing through Toora, Welshpool and Alberton towards Yarram, with changing landscapes and plenty of country charm along the way.

📍 Starts in Nyora
🚙 1:30 hours' drive from Melbourne

Orange Agrumato

OTO9

7A

Gold

Lively intense aromas of freshly squeezed orange juice, zest and orange cake. A good transfer to the palate in harmony and balance with the carrier olive oil. The finish is long and has a zesty bitterness followed by a white pepper pungency that lingers on and on.

Lime Agrumato

OTL9

7A

Gold

Aromas of fresh lime zest and juice, rosemary and floral notes. The citrus characters show great transfer to the palate with more lime curd, citrus blossom and lime leaf coming through. Clean mouthfeel with a very focused fresh lime flavour from the aroma to the warm lingering finish. Balanced, fresh and delicious.

Congratulations, you have also won the following major awards:

Reserve Champion Class 7, Agrumato Olive Oil - OLIVE TWIST - Orange Agrumato
Best Flavoured Olive Oil of Show, Boutique Volume - OLIVE TWIST Orange Agrumato
