About

The Quiet Road is a guide to the places worth slowing down for.

I write about regional Victoria — particularly the Daylesford and Macedon Ranges area, where I have a place — Tasmania, Italian slow travel, food and wine, and getting there in an electric vehicle.

I've driven six different EVs on regional Victorian roads, spent time in Palermo and western Sicily, and lost count of how many weekends I've spent in the goldfields and spa country around Daylesford and Hepburn Springs. This site exists because the guides I kept finding online didn't match what I actually experienced.

The Quiet Road publishes one new article every week and a short newsletter every Friday — a single recommendation, no filler.
