Robyn Dowsing

Hi I'm Robyn and together with my partner Geoff, we live in Buxton in the beautiful Acheron Valley, approx 1 hour East from Melbourne's CBD. The Acheron Valley, a short drive over the Black Spur from the Yarra Valley, offers travellers a nature based experience. Whether your passion is for bush walking, fishing, or you are more a dare-devil and enjoy the thrill of Mountain Bike riding, the Cathedral Range State Park is on our door step and offers it all. We hope you enjoy reading about our little town and the beauty of the region and add it to your itinerary of locations to visit. Best wishes Robyn
