Pegasus has a new stable..
The traveldiva has taken Pegasus to new surroundings. The combination of tall timber and soothing coastal waters provide healing and empowerment for the 'dynamic duo'.
Pegasus will take a short spell for a couple of days and then he is flying off to watch his cousins at the International Dressage Competition in Sydney Australia.

Planning my next Road Trip

A reminder about our beautiful Pegasus
Pegasus (ancient Greek Πήγασος / Pegasos, Latin Pegasus) is one of the best known fantastical creatures in Greek mythology. He is a winged divine horse, usually white in color. He was sired by Poseidon, in his role as horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa. He was the brother of Chrysaor, born at a single birthing when his mother was decapitated by Perseus. Greco-Roman poets write about his ascent to heaven after his birth and his obeisance to Zeus, king of the gods, who instructed him to bring lightning and thunder from Olympus. Friend of the Muses, Pegasus is the creator of Hippocrene, the fountain on Mt. Helicon. He was captured by the Greek hero Bellerophon near the fountain Peirene with the help of Athena and Poseidon. Pegasus allows the hero to ride him to defeat a monster, the Chimera, before realizing many other exploits. His rider, however, falls off his back trying to reach Mount Olympus. Zeus transformed him into the constellation Pegasus and placed him in the sky. There are theories that ascribe the origin of Pegasus to Pihassassa, the ancient god of thunderstorms in Hittite mythology.
The symbolism of Pegasus varies with time. Symbol of wisdom and especially of fame from the Middle Ages until the Renaissance, he became one symbol of the poetry and the creator of sources in which the poets come to draw inspiration, particularly in the 19th century. Pegasus is the subject of a very rich iconography, especially through the ancient Greek pottery and paintings and sculptures of the Renaissance. Personification of the water, solar myth, or shaman mount, Carl Jung and his followers have seen in Pegasus a profound symbolic esoteric in relation to the spiritual energy that allows to access to the realm of the gods on Mount Olympus.

4,340 kilometres round trip
A rested Pegasus carried the traveldiva all this way from the Mornington Peninsula via Canberra to the Gold Coast and back to Mornington. What an amazing trip. We have some of the most awesome scenery and I look forward to many more trips exploring my own 'backyard'.
All along our highways are fabulous rest areas to stop for a breather or to spread out your sleeping bag and stay the night.
Happy holidays!
