THE NAMES ALONE EVOKE a strong sense of place: Spargo Creek, Moorabool, the Great Dividing Range. The hamlet – “literally a sign on the road” – lies just off the freeway to Melbourne, amid thick forest, and close to Daylesford, a diverse and creative community where Natasha Morgan always stops for a morning cup of tea after dropping her children at school.
Natasha worked as a landscape architect in Melbourne, before moving to Spargo Creek with her ex-partner and two children, Saffron, now 12, and Oliver, 10, in 2014. “I was always a city person, born and bred in Melbourne,” she says.
