The Rainbow Gathering found its place within my life as soon as my bare feet touched down on the lands of New Zealand. I was to spend the year wandering amongst the vast and rolling mountains, everlasting valleys, and crystalline waters that wove magic throughout the country. The same magic that glittered early mornings, waking up to the rising sun peeking his rays over the holy greens, was, in fact, the same magic that brought the word of Rainbow Gathering to me. Passed down through the generations of connected ancestors, Rainbow Gathering has lived amongst us all for centuries.

If you find yourself in the Wairarapa in January treat yourself to an outing that will indulge the senses. Located on the outskirts of Carterton, Lavender Abbey is part of a seven-acre lifestyle property belonging to Stuart and Jan Abernethy. They started the plantation after they moved to the Wairarapa in 2008 and fell in love with lavender and its huge range of uses. They have over 2,000 plants and lavender cultivation starts in Spring (September in New Zealand) and finishes in February with an annual crop of around 700kg of flowers. These are made into essential oil (that they have won awards for) and they then use the oil in a range of their own handcrafted products from soap, lotions and creams to wood polish.

Winter isn’t a lot of fun unless you are properly equipped with some skis and a hip flask. It was only a short flight to Queenstown on the South Island of New Zealand but it felt like a world away from the dreariness of Sydney. Fresh deep snow, blue skies, and the streets teeming with attractive men in expensive winter wear.

Francesca Peterson was thirty-eight years old the day she made her decision. Thirty-eight years of life, and now, a day to change all that had gone before. All the heartache, so many broken hearts along the way. The debt; credit really had been much too easy to obtain. The daily drudgery that was her work, so many wrong decisions taken there too. Today would change all that.
