This Saturday the show bags will be painfully deliberated over, the bagpipes will be squealing and the dust will be swirling at the base of Mount Noorat in South West Victoria. My happy place. The place where I go when I need to recharge, regroup, and repeat the wonders of my own childhood with my…
