Arriving with a different point of view

...Arriving with a different point of view
It is said the goal of travelling is to arrive with a different point of view. Indeed!
...James Martin SJ, America Magazine – 8th April 2016
Pope Francis's ground breaking new document "Amoris Laetitia"("The Joy of Love") asks the church to meet people where they are, to consider the complexities of people's lives and to respect people's consciences when it comes to moral decisions. The apostolic exhortation is mainly a document that reflects on family life and encourages families. But it is also the pope's reminder that the church should avoid simply judging people and imposing rules on them without considering their struggles.
Using insights from the Synod of Bishops on the Family and from bishops' conferences from around the world, Pope Francis affirms church teaching on family life and marriage, but strongly emphasizes the role of personal conscience and pastoral discernment. He urges the church to appreciate the context of people's lives when helping them make good decisions. The goal is to help families—in fact, everyone—experience God's love and know that they are welcome members of the church. All this may require what the pope calls "new pastoral methods" (199).
Don't fence me in by Catherine Marshall | 27 August | Republished with permission from Eureka Street
My immigrant family never slept that first week in our newly-rented Sydney house. Too fearful were we of burglary or attack. There were no bars on the windows, no fence securing our plot. Anyone could breach the flimsy lock that kept us safe from intruders and find a way to shatter our new-found peace.
The mystery of why the Sisters are not in charge of the Church
There were the Sisters who taught grades one through eight: Sisters Aimee, Beatrice, Dorita, Everard, Gratia, Mary Margaret, Mary Therese, Rose Margaret, and Spiritu.
...Family violence more complex than sexual abuse
Andrew Hamilton | Eureka Street | 12 August 2015
The Victorian Royal Commission into Family Violence, like its Federal counterpart into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, has revealed the personal stories behind the statistics.
The Chief Commissioner has also emphasised how appalling and complex the reality of family violence is.
If Ignatius hadn't missed the boat ...
By Andrew Hamilton SJ, 29 July 2015, Reproduced with permission from Eureka Street,
...Recently, the US Supreme Court handed down its decision in Obergefell v Hodges, deciding by the predictably narrowest majority of 5-4 that same-sex couples had a constitutional right to marry, and that the right is protected under both the due process and equal protection clauses.
Eleven of the 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia, had already legislated to recognise the right of same-sex couples to marry. Justice Scalia in dissent observed, 'Until the courts put a stop to it, public debate over same-sex marriage displayed American democracy at its best. Individuals on both sides of the issue passionately, but respectfully, attempted to persuade their fellow citizens to accept their views.'
There is much about the judicial reasoning in the case that would raise eyebrows among lawyers not used to the judicial activism of the liberal majority of the US Supreme Court which has long viewed the due process and equal protection clauses as a vehicle for legislating their preferred view on contested political and social issues. Writing for the five liberal judges, Justice Kennedy used poetic, but not very judicial, language when he commenced his judgment with this stirring call to judicial arms: 'The Constitution promises liberty to all within its reach.'
...Most of the early comment on the Laudato Si, Pope Francis' Encyclical on the environment, has rightly focused on its political impact. But to appreciate its reach it is helpful also to read it within the context of Catholic reflection on ethical issues.
The distinctive contribution of the Encyclical is to make respect for the environment a priority in Catholic life, and to justify that place by making it centrally in Catholic reflection on the human condition.
Encyclicals, which are addressed directly to the Catholic Bishops, always set their themes within the Catholic tradition, and particularly within the context of recent Papal teaching.
...Earlier this year the Intergenerational Report was published.
Intergenerational equity needs to be set within a broader context than that of economic competition between individuals. Generally, it means accepting that the way in which we live in the world today should not impoverish future generations. Or positively, that the way we order our human relationships today, including the relationships that comprise the economy, should benefit future generations as well as our own.
...Liberty and equality's forgotten sibling
Many people become uncomfortable when conversation turns to social justice. That may reflect their experience of being buttonholed by unrelentingly serious people on the wrongs of the world and the need to change them. But their discomfort may also reflect a long history that goes back as far as the French Revolution with its slogan, 'Liberty, Equality and Fraternity'. Social Justice Week offers an opportunity to tease out the connections implied by this slogan.
Of the three revolutionary aspirations, liberty has come to dominate our contemporary world, particularly in its form of negative liberty – freedom from oppression and from regulations that limit personal choice, especially economic choice. The desire for individual liberty is often opposed to the desire for equality, which usually advocates some constraints on liberty. Social justice has commonly been identified with the desire for equality. So when someone raises issues of social justice their hearers fear that their individual freedom will soon be crimped in the name of state control or of the redistribution of wealth. They naturally become uncomfortable.
...Are we doing enough?
For perhaps the first time in our history, the leaders of both our major political parties have come from our schools. So perhaps we have a responsibility for what we have given the country, in the form of the leadership of its two major parties.
Aside from being educated in our schools, it sometimes seems the only thing they have in common is the slogan "border protection."
...What is the Church's Social Teaching (CST)?
The Church's social teaching recognises that we are not alone in this world and that we need to care for each other. Since the late 1800s the various Popes have written about different aspects of how we can build a more just world and this makes up the body of Catholic Social Teaching. They are not a set of rules and regulations but exhortations or guides as to how women and men can live and work together. They are derived from 14 primary Papal Documents: (see Appendix1)
And may be enunciated in 5 basic principles:
...Some 60 years ago the German Catholic theologian Karl Rahner wrote a pamphlet on free speech in the Catholic Church. His explorations may seem now to be very tentative, but were daring at a time when the Pope took positions on disputed questions and demanded acquiescence.
Rahner's Catholic world was different from that of today. In discussions about the Synod on the Family, cardinals have differed publicly on how to approach irregular relationships.
Priests in England drafted a letter, invited other priests to sign it, and made it public. In turn, English Cardinal Vincent Nichols rebuked them for caucusing.
...Thank you for your feedback regarding last week's conversation 'Expectations'. You can still join the discussion on our blog. Over the next few weeks, consideration will be given to developing our own set of expectations.
In this week's Conversation, we look at the power of genuine and heartfelt expression, as evidenced by Pope Francis.
Pope Francis as media role model.
...What's not to love about Valentine's Day?
Chocolates, wine, love, hugs, picnics, dinner....
But how much "Saint" is in Saint Valentine's Day.
...In the first of our conversations with the Parish community, we explore the concept of mutual expectations – what is expected of each parishioner, and what parishioners can expect from the Parish community.
To get this conversation started we have reproduced a pamphlet called "Expectations" from St Monica's Church in Los Angeles.
...A homily given by Fr. Andy Bullen to Catholic high school students in Melbourne a few years ago….
"What happened on your first day at school?" For some of you the event is so recent, just a week or so ago, that you could say "Lots of things" and tells us them in detail. Others might scratch their heads and then say perhaps "The school was so big, and noisy". Others might recall that it was exciting and scary at the same time. Others, after reflecting a bit, "It was the first time I spent a full day away from home and mum and dad; it was the beginning of something huge in my life, it set a pattern that I am still living in years later".
Ordinary time again, as the Church calls it, and over 30 weeks of it ahead through the year.Green is the colour – hope, greenery, life; the ordinary makings of our day. How ordinary is ordinary? This year we are going to go through this ordinary time with Mark's gospel, the toughest of the four. |
Piero's World: Pieran optics as revealed in "The Baptism"
Afterwards for days Piero's world informs your own – the city streets, the placement of buildings, are as he painted them, or should be.
...Looking back on 2014, my nomination for the best reading of the year would be the Piketty book, just as early last year my nomination for the best reading of 2013 would have been Evangelii Gaudium.
My selection of the Piketty book for 2014 is not very original - for a while in 2014, it almost seemed like no dinner party on the lower north shore was complete without a discussion of the Piketty book.
And this was a worldwide phenomenon:

Scandal Season 6, Episode 5
"They All Bow Down"
Posted by Sage
Hello again, Lovers of Liberty! It's SO good to be with you again, since the gif-cap took a bye week on episode 4. To sum up "The Belt": prison is NO place for a former Chief of Staff, and Tom admitted that he was paid by someone to say that Cyrus ordered the hit on Frankie Vargas. Our assassin is still out there and the country still doesn't have an incoming president. So, shall we see what Jake Ballard's been up to this whole time?
"Not since Christ stood among the lepers has there been such excitement." InDecision 2016 is Sally Langston's domain, and she is currently living. (When isn't she?) She seems to be a proponent of Mellie and Jake, but we all know she's a fickle bitch.
Vanessa: "I feel like Jackie O. or something."
Jake: *rolls eyes*
"America is not electing Olivia Pope. They are electing Mellie Grant and Jake Ballard." Vanessa tells Jake not to get so grumpy about his "sister" (yikes) telling him what to do and instead to keep his eye on the prize. (Kim: "Every woman on this show is Lady Macbeth.")
"He is after all…a murderer." Sally is reveling in Cyrus's bad luck.
She's also teasing a sit-down interview with picture-perfect patriot couple, Jake and Vanessa. Who hate each other.
"That's political money." "It's a political lie." Jake is so done with this campaign and his fake marriage.
Quinn wants to help Cyrus, but Liv does not want to hear it right now.
"Huck found Vanessa." Olivia spins some yarn to Sally about Vanessa having a vicious flu and being unable to make it out of bed for the interview.
"Lady, you are nuts." "Maybe, but I ain't sorry." In reality, Vanessa is drunk and disorderly and just crashed her car into a tree with a himbo bartender in the front seat. She's also defiant af.
"Did you wake up this morning knowing you were going to ruin our lives?" "Like you give a damn what I woke up thinking." While the Gladiators erase all evidence that Vanessa's little "accident" ever happened, Vanessa and Jake perform a modern revival of Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?
"You say dance, the monkey dances." Jake's version of "playing nice" is being faux-deferential to Olivia, insisting on calling her "boss" and "m'am" until she's about to either slap him or do him on the desk. (Pick the second one, please, it's been so long since we've had Jake/Olivia hate-sex!)
"Let's get this over with because I am late for getting away from you." Get Liv some ointment for that burn.
"I don't want to win, I have to win. There has to be a point." Olivia needs to win a "clean" election to redeem her shady dealings in Defiance during Fitz's first run. She's a good person, that's her thing…
"Are you sleeping with her?" Vanessa isn't an idiot. She senses the intensity between Jake and Liv and totally calls it. So, of course, Jake tells her she's crazy. Then he fills up her glass, because no one will take a drunk, jilted woman seriously.
"There are places we can send you, nice places." EVERYONE IS GASLIGHTING HER, THIS POOR WOMAN.
"Give me one more reason to LAY YOU OUT, RIGHT HERE, Vanessa…I am not here for it, not today." Wow, Liv is only a champion for other women when it suits her, huh?
"I remember because it was when the redhead took my champagne away." Someone was texting Jake on election night who wasn't Olivia, according to V.

How to achieve a Cd with k-e in an acceptable range of accuracy
#1 |

Rep Power: 7 |
Hello dear everyone,
I'm conducting a 3D wave-structure impact CFD analysis. The goal is to get a favored drag on the structure such as a column, a pile or a beam. I've found in many literatures that they have achieved a satisfactory drag coefficient with the k-e series turb model in accordance with the experiment result. On the other, many experts proved that the k-e series are not suitable for the external flow, especially with flow separation and large adverse pressure gradient - which is exactly the case of the flow around a cylinder... The industry may choose the k-e series for the low computional cost. The relatively coarse mesh adjacent to the wall (with y+=30~200) could remarkbly save the scope of the calculation model. I wish to achieve that, but failed again and again. For that the wave-structure analysis must be conducted with 3D model. If I choose the boundary-layer-computed model such as k-omega SST or LES, the mesh scope will be so large that I could not afford. But till now after many test with cylinder external flow, I could not achieve an acceptable drag with k-e and standard, scalable or non-equilibrium wall functions, though the y+ requirement in the near-wall mesh could be satisfied. I just wonder that whether there is some method I can obtain a favored drag (maybe only the drag..) in the range acceptable in the engineering sense, say, error in 10~20% for the CFD results. And I still wonder that how the achieved ones succeeded in doing that? Could anybody give some help? Many thanks !! |

In the test calculation, I found that the error anticipation of the separating angle and the pressure in the wake region may be the point. When I attempted to reduce the turbulent viscosity, the result could be a little improved. However, the reduction of the turb viscosity is only an attempt...
I just only want the drag... with low mesh cost, anyway.. |

Er...how I wish I could use that with y+ in >30 !! And then, another problem is, in using the standard wall function we should guarantee the first inner node with y+>30 and meanwhile there should be at least 10~20 nodes in the whole boudary layer. The former could be easily done, however the latter may be sometimes difficult when the total thickness of the BL is not high, eg. within the max y+ around 100 or a little higher. Anyway, I would learn and have a try on that. many thanks !! |

The y+ requirement is always related to the wall treatment rather than RANS models. You can have a coarse wall grid to use omega-models. In fact, you can also use the epsilon-model for a low-y+ mesh but you have to switch wall treament from the default to EWT (enhanced wall treatment).

Super Moderator
In newer versions of SST model, the default wall treatment is hybrid wall function aka Enhanced wall treatment W-equation (Fluent theory guide 4.13.6.*Enhanced Wall Treatment ω-Equation (EWT-ω))
1. This is generally known as hybrid wall function in open literature http://num.math.uni-goettingen.de/ba...ings/knopp.pdf 2. In CFX it is termed as automatic wall treatment Basic theory is to combine the log law with linear law and give the better treatment of buffer zone using the blending function. For Y+ < 5 Integration to wall approach is used, for Y+ > 30 wall functions is used and for Y = 5-30 blending function is used. Up to 10 the log portion weightage is very low and after Y+ = 20 log law weightage is higher. So if you get the mesh with Y+ > 30 in most of the wall zones then you are using wall function. Please note that at separation Y -> 0, so linear profile shall be used there hence no worry For details please refer following threads http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/flu...treatment.html http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/flu...-function.html http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ans...ys-fluent.html PS : For skin friction component of drag you need Y + < 1, so if is important component of your study then using wall function would always give you wrong results. |

Thank you so much, Far and Blackmask and everyone paid attention on this thread. I will have a try on this kind of EWT.
btw, the contrubution brought by the skin friction in the total drag is not significant, especially in my case with rectanglular columns, though, in the case of cylinder external flow, the friction would affect the position of separation. I'd ever tried the k-omega SST on the circular cylinder which brought me some favored results, e.g. the Cd, Cl and St. This time I really hope it will work on the y+~30 mesh. Many thanks!! |

Beautiful home and very spacious for 2. Great to have pool handy and your own private lemon orchard out back. Beautiful night sky to compliment the outdoor bath. Amazing cake to greet us upon checkin and the home made bread and breakfast provided was superb. Tony was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and gave us many helpful advice. Rory the labrador must probably be the friendliest and cutest dog around and a special shout out to Lily the Kelpie X for bring the newest and sweetest addition.
Nat2016-12-24T00:00:00ZThis place was absolutely beautiful! Jacky and Tony were very nice and Rory and Lily made an perfect addition to our stay.
Erin2016-11-23T00:00:00ZJacky & Tony are just great; the pool house is perfect for a weekend getaway and their recommendations on things to do are spot on - we found some gems! The poolhouse and it's pool are idyllic as is the orchard to pick fresh lemons. So relaxing, peaceful and quiet.
Janine2017-01-29T00:00:00ZGreat place to stay for a weekend in the Yarra Valley! Highly recommend for dog owners.
Mia2016-12-11T00:00:00ZWe loved the quietness of the area, very peaceful & relaxing. The view was awesome & the pool was soooo refreshing.
Amanda2017-03-10T00:00:00ZA wonderful, unique place to stay. Outdoor bathtub, lemon orchard and the swimming pool were the highlights. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
Nathan2017-02-04T00:00:00ZWe had such a wonderful weekend at the pool house. Beautiful scenery, our dog was also welcome and he had a ball with Rory and Lily. Only a 10 minute drive into Healesville, but we loved the pool house so much we spent most of our time lazing around. Beautiful continental breakfast & a delicious home made cake. Thank you so much Jacky for a wonderful weekend!
Brooke2017-02-19T00:00:00ZTony and the puppy dogs met us on arrival and were extremely welcoming. The pool house was perfect for our needs with all creature comforts and amenities. The house was very clean and tidy and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely escape from the hustle and bustle. Tony and Jacky were the perfect hosts and we certainly hope to come back and enjoy their lovely property in the near future. Thanks again!!!

Booked as a gift for my parents, they never met Siobhan, but said everything they need was left for them, everything went smoothy and they had an enjoyable and hassle free stay.
Roxanne2016-02-15T00:00:00ZOverall, really good. Siobhan & her husband were really nice & ensured any issues were dealt with promptly.
Ian2016-10-12T00:00:00ZA beautiful little house with stunning grounds, just a short walk from the Healesville sanctuary. Recently renovated the house had everything we needed, including ingredients for a wonderful breakfast the first morning. It was a particularly cold weekend and the house struggled to contain any heat, but heaters, an open fire and electric blankets are provided. The 3 little resident dogs loved to come and say hello which was a delight for our children! Will be happy to come back and stay again.
Claire2016-06-14T00:00:00ZWe loved our stay at Tara House. We took two kids and one baby. The cottage exceeded our expectations with its spacious bedrooms and ensuites. They have spent money in all the right places... lovely beds, sheets and towels. And the open fire was all set up upon our arrival. The breakfast goodies were also lovely! Thanks so much Siobhan for a lovely stay!
Laura2015-07-13T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed a relaxing night in the grounds of Tara Rise in the Guest House. Upon arrival we were greeted by some small, friendly dogs, which our 2 year old was very excited about! The Guest house was excellent and well stocked with breakfast provisions which we greatly enjoyed the following morning. Unfortunately we could only stay one night. The beds were very comfortable, the house was warmed for our arrival and flowers around the place were a nice touch. My wife and I relaxed in front of the log fire reading whilst our son slept, bliss! Would certainly suit two couples easily. We really had no interaction with the owners other then via email, and there was no need to as everything that we needed was catered for. Should we had need then they were contactable via phone or a knock at their door, with the main house next door. Great location for visits to Healesville Sanctuary which was just around the corner.
Rafe2015-08-20T00:00:00ZWhat a beautiful property! Tara House is exactly as pictured. Siobhan and Rohan were very accommodating and lovely to deal with and made us feel very welcome. They provided breakfast for us and came and lit the fire. I couldnt have picked a more beautiful spot for my bridesmaids and I to get ready for my wedding. We ended up taking alot of our wedding photos there. I highly recommend a stay at Tara House, I know we will be back again.
Erin2015-04-23T00:00:00ZStunning cottage set in beautiful grounds. Tastefully done, and exceptionally clean. Importantly, one of the best beds I have slept in. The local produce was amazing, a fresh local loaf of bread, eggs, bacon, asparagus, tomato, avocado, lemon, muesli, fresh milk and juice. Nice to meet the little dogs, who were friendly and didn't make any noise. Latest edition of Smith Journal, my favourite magazine, on the reading table along with a great selection of other reading material. Perfect!
Aaron2016-11-13T00:00:00ZThe accommodation was tasteful, clean, surrounded by beautiful garden, and it was evident the host had made an effort to think of those nice touches that make a place feel welcoming. I would definitely stay here again when visiting the region and will recommend it to others. Thank you.

Brooklyn Lodge is a beautiful space and it had everything we needed to feel right at home. The weather may have been wet and stormy outside but the house was so cosy we hardly noticed! The flowers on the dining table were a lovely touch. Pamela and Colin were great hosts. I'd highly recommend the house to others.
Una2016-10-02T00:00:00ZLovely comfortable accomodation in beautiful surrounds. Hosts Pamela and Colin were accomodating and friendly. Would recommend to others
Liz2015-05-06T00:00:00ZThe Brooklyn Studio was set on such perfect surroundings, we wish we could have been there longer to spend time in the garden. Pamela allowed us to drop our bags earlier due to us being out all day/ evening on a tour. Pamela has thought of everything that could be required when staying out of the comfort of your own home. The beds were comfy and the shower pressure was great. There is also more than enough space for two couples to have their own space. Thanks for having us!
Rebecca2015-04-08T00:00:00ZPamela was very helpful with directions and what to do in the area; coming from interstate we did not realise how close Badger Creek is to Melbourne but it felt a different world. Yes the couches were something special too!
Janet2016-08-19T00:00:00ZPamela and Colin were very warm and friendly! The place is lovely, a very short drive to Healesville and close to all the wineries. It is very comfortable and has everything you need! Thanks again!
Patrick2015-04-06T00:00:00ZPam's apartment house is tucked away, so quiet but delightfully furnished for short stays. The kitchen was superb, as is the garden. The only negative is the limited shelf space for clothes. The house is ideally placed for a day at the Healesville Sanctuary, which is well worth a visit if you want to get close to koalas, kangaroos, etc. Pam, who lives next door, was most helpful and ensured we were well catered for. Thank you Pam.
Richard2017-01-28T00:00:00ZPamela let us stay in her beautiful house after a very last minute booking, which was fantastic! We enjoyed the house and its' kitchen, great location and beautiful garden. Thanks for letting us stay Pamela!
Milla2015-04-13T00:00:00ZOur stay at Brooklyn Studio B&B was sensational! The photos don't do it justice for this spacious, funky and relaxing house. Pamela was just lovely in ensuring we had a nice stay. There is a beautiful winery next door and it is only 15mins walk to the Sanctuary. Can't wait to come back again to this paradise!

We were warmly welcomed with a phone call on the day. We were also warmly welcomed with a bowl of fruit and chocolate. The bnb had everything you needed. We loved the cows that'd appear every morning. Sometimes you could see cows from your kitchen window. The description was accurate however more impressive in person. There were plenty to do in the area. Some of things we did were a winery tour, Stevensons Fall, Healsville Sancturary, Beechworth Bakery, restaurants, cafes, and scenic runs (some with animals). I would highly recommend this airbnb.
David2015-03-18T00:00:00ZWe had a really lovely weekend. The views were amazing and the cabin was cute and had eveything we needed. Highly recommend.
MEGAN2016-08-07T00:00:00ZThe little house and the views were just gorgeous! It is very private, with a lovely garden out the front and rolling hills and mountains in the background for spectacular scenery! It was a very relaxing stay, and Owen was very hospitable. We will definitely love to come back!
Maya2015-06-02T00:00:00ZWe had a sensational time at the little house on the hill. We stayed only one night, but felt like we were away for ages because it was so relaxing. The property is perfect for a couple or small family looking to get away. The views are stunning and the surrounding bush land is magnificent. I highly recommend this property. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, and even treated our 2 year old to a ride on the mower (which he thought was a tractor). We'll be staying again as soon as we can get away. Thanks again!
Amanda2014-10-21T00:00:00ZGreat experience, lovely place and very friendly hosts who were happy to take us on a tour of the property. Fresh fruit and other amenities made us feel very welcome.
John2015-08-24T00:00:00ZWe had a very enjoyable short stay at The Little House on the Hill in the beautiful country surrounds overlooking the valley and hills in the distance. We needed the fire on arrival and it worked a treat. Our host delivered a very generous bowl of fresh fruit, which was a lovely touch, and kept our supply of fire wood up to date. A very comfortable cottage indeed with excellent privacy. Overall a great little secret.
Allan2016-09-22T00:00:00ZOwen has been such a hospitable host to us. It was my girlfriend's surprise birthday staycation & Owen has help made it such a memorable stay for us. The little cottage was charming and beautiful. He helped us build a fire in the fireplace (as we didn't know how to use it) & it was such a welcoming sight when we returned at night. The garden is equally charming and quaint. Quite a serene spot. Definitely a must-stay if you're planning to stay in the area of Healesville.
Kenneth2015-09-07T00:00:00ZA beautiful cosy place to stay. Owen was just lovely - thank you!

Tim2016-07-27T00:00:00ZWe didn't meet Gillie in person, but through messages and phone calls, we felt her warm and generous welcome! The pictures are accurate but do not do justice to the place. When I booked this, I felt it a bit expensive, but it is worth the price. When we arrived, I was impressed by the sense of beauty, luxury and loving detail. The house was warm from the fire already lit, and beautifully lit by cosy lamps, the music was playing, and there was a scent of the flowers everywhere. Beautiful, gracious, quality interiors, and the view is SO lovely! The kitchen is first rate and generously provided. There were expresso machines, and even a spice drawer. What an absolutely beautiful place! We have stayed at many resorts and holiday cottages, even top ones like Banyan Tree. But this is the best! We just hung around a lot, and enjoying the beauty of it all. It is like having a luxurious home for a couple of days. Thank you Gillie, for sharing this beautiful place with us!
Stella2016-08-22T00:00:00ZWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay; the fire lit on arrival, a plush lounge to sink into whilst watching the clouds descend over distant hills, a beautifully appointed kitchen to self cater, luxury linen and a wonderfully comfortable bed. We didn't want to leave! So, we vow to return soon. Thanks so much Gillie!

Damien is very friendly and initiated an email before my arrival to ensure I could find my way and my time of arrival. He also came over to check if everything was ok for us. The cottage is a beauty for a small family. Most importantly, it was warm in the winter. I love the map on the wall, the kids love the board games. We had a lovely time in Bluegum cottage. The Sanctuary was a close walk/drive and the town to get grocery is not too far away too. Because the kitchen was well equipped, we had lots of home cooked meal in this cosy little dining area. Nice view outside.
So2016-06-12T00:00:00ZDamien was a great host and the trip was thoroughly enjoyable in the short getaway. Beautiful surrounds, comfortable and clean amenities has made this weekend here's a treat.
Momoko2016-10-03T00:00:00ZDamien and Celia were warm and wonderful hosts. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and welcome. The space was clean, warm (I was there during a cold, rainy snap) and a nice sanctuary. Boof the dog was a super sweetheart and fun addition to the stay. I highly recommend Bluegum Cottage!
Erin2016-06-24T00:00:00ZLoved our stay at Bluegum Cottage! Damien was a great host and made sure our stay was relaxed and comfortable. The cottage was clean, well-equipped and the king sized bed was comfy! Our 3 year old loved a walk around the garden and down to the creek. If we travel back, we'll definitely stay here again.
Elyse2016-04-11T00:00:00ZWhat a stunning place! The view from the bedroom is beautiful. There were cut autumn leaves and roses on the table, everything was clean and comfortable. We only wish we could have stayed longer!
Joy2016-05-29T00:00:00ZLovely place, friendly host and very convenient for sanctuary and a short drive into town. Quiet location, and a lovely garden. Bedroom is large and very comfortable. Sofa bed is also very good. Kitchen had all the basics for cooking - though no microwave - a minor issue given what is excellent value!
Stephen2017-03-03T00:00:00ZThe place was cosy. Great sized bed and comfy sheets. Damien was very welcoming and helpful with recommending local restos in the area. Met Boof, the dog, who was very friendly and playful. The place is also close to the town centre. Damien had most of the things we need in our place, even got us some fresh produce and some goodies to welcome us. Overall happy with our stay. Thanks Damien and Celia!
Ria2016-04-06T00:00:00ZThe cabin at badger creek was very comfortable. We enjoyed the king size bed, soft carpeting, and included space heater. We were toasty warm throughout a chilly evening. Thanks Damien!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Green Room. The room was beautiful, exactly as described in the listing and seen in the photos. Everything is clean and new, the bed was very comfortable, the bath was spacious, there's a TV and DVD player (DVDs available for hire at the Video Ezy machine in Healesville opposite Baker's Delight), a mini fridge and a balcony. The decor is really lovely and makes the room feel very relaxing. Dieter's art is up all around the property and is really interesting and beautiful. The area is lovely with lots of wineries, a dairy farm and a number of other attractions. We did a lovely drive up to the lookout tower at Mt Donna Buang. A car is definitely needed - the area is not well serviced by public transport. There is lots of good food nearby - the Bodhi Tree has really great pizza, and Yarra Valley Pasta do frozen pasta meals that you can heat up in the microwave in the common room.
Yoshi2015-12-01T00:00:00ZA great spot to stay for a couple of night, and hosts were extremely friendly and approachable!
Amanda2016-06-29T00:00:00ZGreat place. Very relaxing and comfortable. Not too far from town in a nice country/bush area. It had everything we needed.
Jay2016-01-10T00:00:00Zour stay was smooth as can be! beau was easy to communicate with and the room was awesome! highly recommend the spa room. thanks !
Oliver2015-08-27T00:00:00ZPerfect place to stay overnight in the yarra. Very comfortable and relaxed. So nice to stay in a place that's so close to town but still so relaxed. Very impressed!
Louis2015-01-31T00:00:00ZWe were greeted by Beau's father, Dieter, who gave us all the information about the accommodation and the area we needed for our one night stay. Beau was also an excellent communicator in the lead-up to our arrival. Although there is no kitchenette, the room itself is well-equipped for short stays. Having a nice big spa bath as the feature also gives it a 'premium' feel. This is a lovely rural location, but only minutes to town and well situated for exploring the Yarra Valley. We even managed to see a roo hanging out in the little vineyard that you can see from the balcony!
Rhys2015-04-12T00:00:00ZI could not have found a more perfect place to relax and unwind. Easy driving distance to a huge range of wineries, breweries and restaurants but it also a great setting to stay in read a book and enjoy the spa.

Ever so friendly (but polite) dog and cat (plus a shy cat), horses nearby and views from the kitchen/lounge of wandering chickens under fruit trees in the back garden and on the veranda! Very friendly helpful hosts, welcoming guests into their home and at the same time giving them their space for their break. Looking forward to returning!

The room was clean and spacious. There were also a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. We had a private entrance to the house and access to well equipped kitchen and a beautiful living room with the fireplace. The weather was not nice this weekend. However, we've spent some time in the chairs on the veranda. The location of the property is excellent with only 5 minutes drive to Healsville's cafes, restaurants and shops. Loved it! Thank you Victoria and Michael.

We had an awesome stay in the garden apartment at Wiggley Bottom Farm. It's perfect for a relaxing, romantic getaway. Gillie has thought of everything you could need. The place is furnished with quality and style. It felt like a home away from home (but a lot more spacious!). The views are stunning and Gillies friendly dogs were a pleasure to see around the grounds. There are also plenty of cute farm animals to see, it was a truly lovely experience staying here.
Trevor2015-11-19T00:00:00ZStunning accommodation in a beautiful location and a wonderful region. Very relaxing and everything ran very seamlessly. Host went the extra mile and looked after all of us, 4 Legged 2 legged, young and old. But plenty of space.
Mark2015-03-19T00:00:00ZWe are really happy we've selected this place. Extremely comfortable, nicely furnished, new furniture all around. Our host helped us with few things on the go, too. Thank you!
Krystian2014-10-06T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay at gillie's apartment. Every detail was looked after and the farm is peaceful and beautiful. Our boys loved playing with the dogs & goats and playing in the treehouse. Can highly recommend this place.
krista2015-11-24T00:00:00ZGillie has a great place. This apartment is attached to the main house but sectioned off as your own private space with big rooms and a beautiful back porch to sit on and enjoy some Yarra wines. The resident dogs are very friendly and we especially loved the dalmation who was very inquisitive. Gillie gave some great recommendations for wineries to visit and all in all was a great stay! We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to the Yarra.
Stephanie2014-10-08T00:00:00ZThe stay was just wonderful. Despite the nice images viewable for the garden apartment on airbnb, it really doesn't do justice to how beautiful and cosy the place is and all that we saw upon arriving! I truly fell in love with the place. Gillie is definitely a superb host. She is friendly, caring, easy to work with and very quick to respond. I would highly recommend this place to anyone :) Thank-you so much Gillie for a great stay.
Kim-Julie2016-05-22T00:00:00ZBeautiful place to stay, farm with horses, geese, dogs and great views. Would definitely come back
Alice2016-08-01T00:00:00ZNo question, Gillie is an absolutely superb host. Her communication, attitude and friendliness was second to none.

Lovely country style cottage with all the mod cons. Very homely and comfortable. Loved the Woodfire and underfloor heating in the bathroom. We had our 1 yr old with us and was very baby/toddler friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave. Thanks so much, we will be back!!
Hollie2016-09-20T00:00:00ZKarina's place was absolutely lovely and we're glad we chose to stay there for a night away. It was nice and warm and cosy by the time we got there and had everything we needed. Would recommend staying here.
Paul & Sarah2016-08-06T00:00:00ZThe farm was beautiful and so was our cottage. Great location and fantastic hosts that made us feel very welcome. We also took advantage of the orchard and came home with a bag full of fresh fruit!
Brittany2016-08-23T00:00:00ZMy wife and our Jack Russell, Daisy, had a wonderful stay in the Dairy House for two nights. It is a delightful and cosy cottage with all you need for your stay. Main bedroom is roomy with a super comfortable king size bed, whilst the bathroom is huge and includes a large spa bath. All well presented, the house is very clean and the well appointed kitchen has all you need if you wish to dine in (breakfast provisions also provided). The house offered plenty of yard for our fur kid Daisy to rollick in the surrounds. Location is a short drive to Healesville and all it has on offer, and right near the boundary of the famous Healesville Sanctuary. The house itself on a inviting country farm, feels very secluded and private - so beautifully quite at night. We will be sure to stay again and highly recommend for your Healesville or Yarra Valley stay.
Neil2016-11-27T00:00:00ZThis place was fantastic! Beautiful location, lovely cozy cabin. Definitely a winter wonderland escape. I wish I could hibernate here all winter. Aside from the fiasco with our dog getting away from us on accident, the owners were lovely and very friendly. I would come back again...maybe next time without our dog ;) I will recommend this place to our friends again and again.
Diana2016-06-27T00:00:00ZKarina ensured booking was as easy as possible with her speedy and informative communication. The house is set in a beautiful location with a stunning garden and views. The accommodation was very well presented and clean, my husband and I had everything we needed for a weekend away. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend staying here to friends and family. Thanks Karina
Kate2015-11-10T00:00:00ZThe property is spectacular, it is in close proximity to the wine region, and is a great place to return to at the end of the day.
Nick2016-10-12T00:00:00ZMy husband and I spent a lovely few days in Dairy House. The king size bed and huge bedroom were wonderful, as was the enormous spa bath in the bathroom. The house was clean and breakfast provisions for the first day were welcome. I also enjoyed the decent plunger coffee and looseleaf tea. Nice touches! Unfortunately the weather was a bit rainy and cold while we were there so we didn't get to enjoy sitting outside, but I can imagine it would be a lovely deck to sit and have breakfast or a drink on a warmer day.

Rachel2016-02-06T00:00:00ZKaren and Greg are great hosts. This is the first time we use air b&b and it ended up with a great experience. The house has every single small items you may need at home, how considerate. We also enjoyed the organic vegetable that Karen planted, which was delicious. All in all the house is really nice and definitely would consider to go back. Sabrina
Sabrina2014-10-06T00:00:00ZWe chose Karen's beautiful place to celebrate our wedding anniversary and are so glad we did so. The place is spotless and very professionally managed. We felt very welcomed (a little present from the hosts included) and really enjoyed our stay. The location is really nice and the tips and suggestions given were very useful indeed - there's a gorgeous bush walk very close by and the Yarra valley is also at their doorstep with all its great wineries. Very much recommend it.

The cottage had everything we needed without all the fuss. It was clean and warm and close to everything we needed for a weekend stay. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back.
Rita2016-08-08T00:00:00ZMy friend and I visited this cottage to get away for a few days from city bustle and we were delighted with what we found when we arrived! A homey, spacious cottage set in a tranquil location below the Yarra Ranges, the cottage was clean and well-kept, provided plenty of kitchen supplies (utensils, pots etc) and a huge range of movies for chilling out. Only a short drive into Healesville or a slightly longer one to Warburton, there is plenty to do if you're looking for entertainment and plenty of quiet space if you're just looking to stop and relax. My friend and I were given a warm and professional welcome when we arrived. I will definitely be back!
Naomi2015-01-26T00:00:00ZLovely, cosy cottage in a great location with easy access to healesville. Loved meeting the family dog!
Yen2016-08-09T00:00:00ZWe had a delightful stay at Redwoods rustic cottage. A beautiful and secluded spot, we felt very relaxed during our stay. Our dog loved playing with Sarah and Hilton's dog Finn, who came to say hello and was very friendly. The loved chasing each other around the garden. I would recommend this place to our friends, especially those wanting to get away from the hussle of the city. Thanks again Sarah and Hilton for you hospitality. We hope to see you again soon.
Chantelle2015-10-25T00:00:00ZSarah was very helpful, supportive and communicative for our first trip to the Yarra Valley - we certainly appreciated some of her helpful pointers. The property itself was gorgeous and in an amazing location quite near the action of Healesville and it's surrounds. Facilities weren't entirely listed so we got a welcome surprise with plenty of great DVD titles... that we didn't even watch because we were so busy! Ha. We even met Sarah's cleaner who was very friendly also. I would definitely stay with Sarah again and would recommend this property for families and small groups.
Brett2015-04-06T00:00:00ZThis place is so cute, and Rustic is a perfect description. Furnishings are eclectic with anything from the 1800's to current and we just loved it. My travelling companion was absolutely delighted to be able to look out the windows into paddocks full of trees and horses. It was so peaceful and tranquil. Beds are plentiful and comfy and there is plenty of space. A great place for a family stay and perfect for us for the weekend too.
Deb2016-02-28T00:00:00ZThe place was wonderful and close to all the attractions of the Yarra valley. We (and the dog) enjoyed the country feel and it was a great weekend escape from Melbourne.
Nick2016-03-17T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely time at the cottage! The location is very close to town, and right near Healesville Sanctuary. It was great to have so much privacy and space, and the location was supremely peaceful. The cottage itself has everything you need - heating, kitchenette and plenty of space for sitting and lounging around. If you are looking for somewhere that has all the necessities and room to do your own thing this is the place for you.

Absolutely brilliant. The accommodation was perfect and made the stay very relaxing. Beau is a great host and a top bloke. Will be coming back for another stay for sure. Recommend this place if you looking for a romantic, relaxing trip in the perfect location
Dai2015-10-10T00:00:00ZFantastic getaway! Got a nice intro and welcome when we arrived. Beau was very helpful changing the dates as well! Thanks :)
James2015-06-20T00:00:00ZBeautiful location and a very smart apartment. Effortless check-in and out. Would recommend to a friend. Thanks heaps.
Andy2015-05-02T00:00:00ZAmazing place, so beautiful and tranquil. Could not imagine a better romantic getaway spot! Very heartfelt thanks to the hosts!
Zac2015-01-16T00:00:00ZMy husband and I stayed here for our 2nd year mini anniversary get away. It was a lovely place. Dieter (Beau's dad) greeted us at the front door. The place is safe and secure. We loved the room, it was spacious, bright, the art work was awesome. the view was great, the spa was warm and cosy and the fire place on a cold night really made our stay warm. We loved the quietness of the place. It was very handy having our own kitchen to cook in and prepare our own breakfast with the food provided. We would recommend this place to others, the bed is super comfy, there is an abundance of blankets and we felt at home. We would come back again. Thanks for letting us stay.
Mischie2015-09-05T00:00:00ZBeau was a fantastic host. He responds fast, answered all our questions and kept our planning clear and easy. Beau's accommodation ticked all our boxes. It is a private, romantic, apartment hideaway. You be able to enjoy a gorgeous view across the valley from a beautiful roomy spa bath. Our stay was private, peaceful and comfortable, with all the essentials and only an hour from Melbourne. My extra vote goes to the immaculate cleanliness of Beau's place, a big comfortable bed, lovely cotton sheets and great pillows. The location is also a big plus. You get to be in a rural setting a mere 5 minutes travel to the vibrant welcoming township of Healseville. The location, birds, wildlife, Healseville, along with the surrounding wineries, restaurants, sanctuary and spectacular Maroondah Resevoir offer the full palette of possible interests anyone might be hoping for. Many, Many, Thanks for two days that felt like a total vacation! Sam
Sam2016-01-10T00:00:00ZGreat experience and stay! The spa and fireplace was a real hit. Clean, open and large apartment.
Hamish2015-04-14T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely stay. Beau was easy to communicate with before our arrival and made our journey there stress free. His father Dieter greeted us and was very helpful with local suggestions that certainly enhanced our stay. The room was perfect, as other reviewers have said, the photos do not do it justice and there is nothing quite like sitting in the spa bath, next to the fire, watching the sun set over the alpacas. We loved it!

we loved our stay here. the property and grounds were amazing and dogs are well catered for. Would certainly recommend and definitely visit again. Gillie is a great host and all needs are catered for.
ben2016-10-06T00:00:00ZLoved the farm apartment. It was perfect for our family and was so cozy, bright, clean and comfortable. I didn't want to go home.
MALLORY2015-12-09T00:00:00ZMy boyfriend and I just spent the weekend at Wiggley Bottom Farm and loved every minute of it. Gillie was a wonderful host and was kind enough to get the fireplace going for our arrival. I was so pleased to meet her the following day, as well as her horses and Tina Turner the miniature pony! The cottage itself is just gorgeous. The fireplace was absolutely bliss for the -4 degree night we experienced! The bed was comfortable, everything was so clean and presented beautifully. The location is fantastic, just a stone's throw away from the heart of the Yarra Valley. My partner and I visited a handful of wineries including Yileena Park, Zonzo and Stones of the Yarra Valley. I'd highly recommend staying at Gillie's property, everything you need is a short drive away but you still feel so secluded in your own private getaway :) Claire & Andy
Claire2015-06-23T00:00:00ZThe cottage was a perfect winter getaway. It was actually our mini-moon after getting married a couple weeks prior! Gillie had the fire going for us when we arrived and had some recommendations to gather some beautiful provisions to get us through (wine, steak, cheese, olives.. the essentials). We were able to use the BBQ and the hotplates and make a beautiful local Healesville dinner. We brought our two big city dogs and they were happy as anything to visit with the friendly goats and stretch their legs. The big area outside was great for our pups to run around and we still felt very safe being so far away from the road. There was another family staying in the big house with their dog, but again, the cottage felt private and we didn't feel like our dogs were intruding on their experience or vice versa. The cottage was super cute and very clean. We were warm enough and the dvd selection was a pleasant surprise. We did spend more time at the cottage than we thought because the weather was so cold, so it was a very cozy winter retreat. It was muddy outside, but the cottage was stocked with doggie towels for muddy paws too which was a nice touch. It was a great getaway with the dogs!
Bentley2016-07-10T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful time at the farm cottage. The scenery was stunning and the location perfect! Gillie is a fantastic host who had great recommendations for local wineries. Her three 'Wiggley Bottoms' (dogs) were very playful yet gentle with our little pup. Strongly recommend Wiggley Bottom Farm for a perfect getaway. We'll certainly be back.
Marija & Elle2014-08-27T00:00:00ZOur stay this week was so lovely. The cottage is absolutely as advertised - clean, spacious, comfortable, retreat-like, and Gillie has provided everything you could possibly need. To top it all off, the cottage is perfectly located in the heart of the Yarra and only a moments drive from Healsville, which is such a sweet and convenient town. We would definitely stay again. And Gillie was a great host.
Anna2014-10-24T00:00:00ZLoved our stay in this beautifully appointed place. Lovely surroundings and heaven for animal lovers. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Highly recommended.
Clare2016-10-17T00:00:00ZThoroughly enjoyed staying at the Wiggley Bottom Cottage. The place is clean, cozy and peaceful. We definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking for an enjoyable relaxing getaway.

The cabin was so lovely and cosy, perfect for two people. Janelle was very nice and quick to respond to messages. The location is great because it allows you to not only explore Healesville, but also the Yarra Valley and Marysville, which are just a short drive away.
Leanne2016-01-10T00:00:00ZThanks for your warm welcome Janelle. The room was spotlessly clean and beautifully presented. It had everything we needed and more. There were so many thoughtful touches, including fresh roses, a candle to burn and lovely decor. We enjoyed the delicious chocolate you left on your bed for us. A great place to stay at a great price.
Deborah2016-05-23T00:00:00ZWe had a great stay at Nelsey's. The cabin had everything we needed including a few extras :). Despite the rain during winter we stayed cosy warm and the shower was strong and hot. It was only a short drive (medium walk) in and out of town and Janelle made us feel very welcome with local tips.
Crystal2016-07-10T00:00:00ZWhat a gem. We couldn't ask for a more perfect place to settle in for the night on our trip. Janelle had even set up the BBQ for us and left plenty of firewood so we could enjoy a crackling winter fire...and had an enormous garden for the dog to go nuts running around it. Would definitely come back!
veronica2016-08-16T00:00:00ZJanelle was very accommodating allowing us to bring our 2 year old along with us. Even providing some toys for her to play with. Janelle was very welcoming and more than happy to help us with anything we needed. A good little place to stay for our overnight trip to Healesville!
Megan2016-06-20T00:00:00ZLovely little cottage type accommodation. Very warm and cosy. Janelle made it very easy and it felt very private. Great trip.
Derrin2016-08-21T00:00:00ZEverything was great and as described plus a bottle of wine waiting for us. Really good value for money.
Philippe2016-02-07T00:00:00ZJanelle and Dean were so welcoming. Great friendly people. Couldn't recommend this place more highly. Thx guys

Excellent place!! cozy, warm, comfortable and secluded as per advert. Anneke was always willing to help which was great. Perfect location for any Healesville visitors
B2017-02-18T00:00:00ZLovely, clean and quiet. Perfect for what I needed.
Peter2017-03-11T00:00:00ZAnneke's place is lovely and secluded yet central to many restaurants, winerys and the sanctuary. Suited to really only two adult guests as the apartment consists of the bedroom, ensuite and a central living room with a kitchenette which also houses the dining table and a fold out couch. Beautiful little flat none the less with a great view.
Monique2017-02-16T00:00:00ZAnneke's place was great value, very clean and with a nice view. Would happily come again and recommend to others.

This house is amazing! The decor was upscale and very tasteful - a great insight to a wonderful host. This was our first experience with Airbnb and a great introduction to the site. We will definately be back to Guistinos home.
Maxine2017-02-01T00:00:00ZStayed for just 2 nights- definitely could have stayed a lot longer! A very chic but comfortable house, perfect location and beautiful garden area. Absolutely as the pictures and description. Giustino made sure we had instructions how to get to the property and left a whole host of food and drink treats for our arrival. We all loved the place! Thank you! Hopefully we will arrange a return trip at some point.
Elizabeth 2017-01-28T00:00:00ZGuistino made us very welcome going above and beyond to make us fee at home in his place. We enjoyed every minute and wished we could have stayed longer. We have already recommended G's place to our friends and hope to be back soon.
James2017-01-02T00:00:00ZGreat little getaway place with a fantastic host. A little gem
Nelson2017-01-22T00:00:00ZThank you so much, Giustino, for the most wonderful stay at your beautiful and charming home. You are a very thoughtful and lovely host. See you next time. Many thanks, Di & Tim :) xo
Dianne & Tim2016-12-29T00:00:00ZAll perfect Giustino, thank you! The style, the aesop products, lovely towels and linen, great coffee, cleanliness, communication including recommendations and extras in the fridge were all highlights that made for a perfect trip with the inlaws from Scotland.
Jen & Max2017-01-15T00:00:00Zwe'll setup cosy little place walking distance to 4 pillars distillery and two local breweries plus close to town.
Andrew2017-02-06T00:00:00ZMy family and I had a fantastic stay. The accommodation was beautiful, extremely clean and great location. Giustino was a great host and left plenty of fresh food and drink. Would highly recommend.

Abstract Natural products inhibiting fatty acid synthase (FAS) are appearing as potential therapeutic agents to treat cancer and obesity. The bioassay-guided chemical investigation of the hulls of Nephelium lappaceum L. resulted in the isolation of ten compounds ( 1– 10) mainly including flavonoids and oleane-type triterpene oligoglycosides, in which all of the compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time. Additionally, compounds 8 and 9 were new hederagenin derivatives and were elucidated as hederagenin 3- O-(2,3-di- O-acetyl-α- l-arabinofuranosyl)-(1→3)-[α- l-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)]-β- l-arabinopyranoside and hederagenin 3- O-(3- O-acetyl-α- l-arabinofuranosyl)-(1→3)-[α- l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)]-β- l-arabinopyranoside, respectively. All these isolates were evaluated for inhibitory activities of FAS, which showed these isolates had inhibitory activity against FAS with IC 50 values ranging from 6.69 to 204.40 μM, comparable to the known FAS inhibitor EGCG (IC 50 = 51.97 μM). The study indicates that the hulls of Nephelium lappaceum L. could be considered as potential sources of promising FAS inhibitors and the oleane-type triterpene oligoglycosides could be considered as another type of natural FAS inhibitors.
