Do you work remotely? Considering a change of scenery? We bet you're tired of looking at the same four walls....

Spend your lunch break clearing your head with a short hike, gaze out at the mountains and reward yourself at the end of the day with a delicious meal.
Working from the Grampians might spark some ingenuity and creativity, or at the least some perspective and calm.
