STORY IDEAS If you want to escape the city for some well-earned rest and relaxation take the go-slow path; there’s no hurry in the mountains. Grab a coffee and papers to go, and find a spot in the sun with a view. You’ll find yourself mesmerised by the scenery long before you’ve finished the headlines. Slow walks through mountainous ash forests and shaded ferny glades reconnect you with nature. Long lazy days followed by panoramic sunsets soothe you into holiday mode. You may never want to leave. There is more to summer than sunburn, sandy bathers, and a crowded beach. On top of the world, in the magnificent High Country, stunning views combine with clean alpine air and a cool climate to create the perfect getaway.
