Doors open on a great new place in Torquay tomorrow. What a fun few months getting it set up. The @surfhotel_torquay is going to be a fun ride with an amazing team behind it. Hopefully, I'll see you there soon!!

Flinders Island in Bass Strait. 4 People. Fri 5 – Mon 8 December 2025. Valued at around $12k. A lifetime of memories packed into 3 days. Hosted by a chef, barman, crayfisherman, food stylist, farmer & host - because one weekend this good, needs six locals to pull it off. This weekend is raising funds for our best mate Pip @pipsplate , who is facing a full spinal disc replacement and a long recovery ahead. You and three mates will board Sharp Airlines @sharpairlines in Essendon, touch down on Flinders Island, and roll straight into The Crayshack, the ultimate beachside shack. With six hosts for four guests, you’ll be outrageously spoiled with island feasts, barefoot cook-ups, cold Yeti @yeti_au eskys, and endless good times. ✨ Here are Pip’s favourite activities that you’ll get to do: • Boating with Grimmy @mickgrim & Tom @quoin_farm , diving for crays and abalone • A barefoot beach cook-up at one of the most spectacular beaches in the world • Feasts curated and cooked by Jo Barrett @jobarrett & Jane Grylls @thedomesticscientist (spoiler: you will not go hungry) • Cocktails and coldies by Dave Osgood @osgood (eskys never empty, ever) This is more than a trip, it’s a full-blown island adventure, hosted start to finish by the team who live and breathe Flinders Island. 👉 To secure this weekend, send us your bid before 5pm Thursday 26th September. Winner will be announced on the 27th September. Every dollar goes to support our dear friend Pip’s Plate. Any money transactions will go through Pip’s Gofundme directly. /f/pips-comeback-tour-raising-for-pips-next-back-surgery 📩 DM your bid to the hostess with the mostess Jo Youl @onislandtime.flindersisland One group. One island. One unforgettable weekend.

41 and I'm coming for you 👈 📷 @robertoperu

Sometimes, you just have to say yes and make it happen. 13 blokes, 5 boats, and a lot of laughs. Thanks lads!

I have had the privilege of being able to visit a very special property in the Otways since I've moved down south to better my hunting skills and enjoy the natural beauty of this area. Here are a few photos from my last trip to show you a little of what I mean. Thanks for the company @jobarrett @louiseisabella and photos @squintybill And a big thanks to @sammaguel1 for the kindness of sharing 🙏

When I started this restaurant @littlepicket_lorne with my partner @jobarrett , i told all my friends to come down and visit. Most said they would love to, but they only eat at hatted restaurants. Well, you have no excuses now, my friends. See you all soon 😘

Three weeks in and where do i begin? Here are 10 photos @littlepicket_lorne @jobarrett @louiseisabella 📸@squintybill

Little Picket is the name and delicious food, booze and bowls is the game! @littlepicket_lorne A creation made possible by the members of Lorne bowls club inviting @jobarrett and myself to help provide an environment for members and guests to have shared experiences and connect to the surf coast region. First time I've done something like this and it came with it's challenges. Fortunately Jo and I had the help of many talented people and I can't thank them enough! It would be amazing to see some familiar faces so please reach out and let me know or pop in if your in the area! Special thanks to: @jobarrett The Lorne bowls club members @louiseisabella @squintybill Luke Morgan @kerry.barrett @wood.and.wedge @_kristyjane_ @2larry47 @_iron_aidan_ @joostbakker @aaronjbrodie @jessegerner @balterbrewers @stompinggroundbeer @mac_forbes_wines

A beautiful few days with @squintybill and the hounds. Received some lessons on how to use my new Sony a6400. I learnt a lot from Billy and was so stoked to be able to give something back after being filmed so many time by him. I was honoured to be there and film as he rigged his first alpine highline and walked it like a boss!! This is what I captured I hope you enjoy Music by @squintybill

I'm going to change something and write a instagram post, it's been awhile Change = make (someone or something) different; alter or modify I recently realised it's something I'm good at and a positive part of the blessed life I've lived to this day I love to look back at the changes I've had in my life and I love to look forward at the potential changes to come but I love nothing more then watching them happen right now Here are a few quotes that I'm feeling fit the subject and help me navigate the one relentless positive truth, CHANGE "If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living" Gail Sheehy "Dreams are the seeds of change. Nothing ever grows without a seed, and nothing ever changes without a dream" Debby Boone "Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by discomfort" Arnold Bennett "You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at the end of your comfort zone" Roy T. Bennett "Courage is the power to let go of the familiar" Raymond Lindquist "Have fun in continually finding ways to change the way you think for the better" David Osgood
