Trail Run

HILARY MCALLISTER

I grew We were 30 minutes from the closest town, with paddocks for days, and a river along the edge of the property. As a kid, I’d spent days building cubbies with cousins and siblings, helping Dad on the farm, or playing on the trampoline. It was a very wild childhood surrounded by nature, animals, and often oppressively hot summer days and frosty winter mornings. Fast forward a few years, most of which I spent in Melbourne/Naarm, and I’m now based on the beautiful Surf Coast in Aireys Inlet. Wadawurrung Country is home to rugged sandstone cliffs, orchid filled heathland and beautiful coastal bush – there are trails galore here, and I absolutely love still being surrounded by nature.
