It lies 78.1 km west of Geelong, VIC (from Geelong, VIC: bearing 277°T), and is situated 29.9 km north-north-west of Colac. The air here carries a certain stillness, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the melancholic call of a currawong. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-brilliant blue sky, casts long, languid shadows that stretch and shrink with the passing hours, lending a subtle dynamism to the otherwise serene panorama. This is a country of wide horizons, where the land breathes a quiet resilience, and the very soil seems to hold the memory of seasons past.
The story of Foxhow is deeply entwined with the pastoral heritage of the region, a place where generations have worked the land, their lives shaped by the cycles of sheep and cattle grazing. The local economy, while still anchored in agriculture, has seen a gentle diversification, with small pockets of viticulture beginning to emerge, their neat rows of vines a modern counterpoint to the wilder bush. The heritage of the early settlers is palpable in the weathered timber of the few remaining farm buildings, silent witnesses to the enduring spirit of those who first tamed this country. Foxhow itself, though modest, possesses a quiet charm, a place where the pace of life allows for contemplation, and the simple beauty of the natural world remains a constant, grounding presence.
