For the knowledgeable urban dweller the art of being lost has all but disappeared. Like cultural assassins, we know exactly what is around every corner and, before entering, our escape has already been planned. Efficiency has become key, but the fun more difficult to find.
About an hour and a half out of Melbourne the Ashcombe Hedge Maze is a place for those who are prepared to look stupid, look at their friends looking stupid and generally admit that they actually have no idea which way to go.
Einstein once said that the happiest thought of his life was the realisation that "if a person falls freely they will not feel their own weight" and it could well be the case that if a person loses themselves freely they will not feel how lost they actually are. Think about it. Actually, don’t.
