Gazing out across rolling green hills, dotted with roaming sheep and cattle, we spot the tall dunes and rocky mountains of Wilson's Prom before us. The expanse of our surroundings humbling us, as we sit on the deck - mere humans amidst this wide open space, I feel so tiny, yet on top of the world at the same time!

These views from One Tree Hill had us from the get-go; our stay, a shipping container home, that's been built to make the most of them. It's the kind of place you go for weather-watching and stargazing, to take in the magnificent beauty of our Mother Nature and be captivated by her rolling cloud formations and candy-coloured skies at each end of the day. If you're lucky, the clouds will settle in the valleys below you and a sunrise above them is certainly worth waking up for.

We spent our days on the deck, watching eagles soar above us and our dogs leap through the long grass, swapping stories and reminiscing on family memories. A venture to the nearby Agnes Falls had us blown away by the enormity of the gorge and the tumbling cascades that plummet to its floor. This hidden secret in Gippsland's hinterland is not to be missed.

As evening fell, I retreated to the bathtub while the others played board games by the crackling wood fire. Wild weather enveloped our home atop the hill, yet we stayed cosy and warm inside. After tucking our little one into bed, I cradled a hot cup of tea and watched lightning dance across the horizon from the glass frontage of our stay. With my pup at my feet and the sounds of my family laughing in the next room I was filled with gratitude for it all. This one precious life we have, just so very worthy of these adventures.
