On Friday, the 8th of January 2021, my husband and I decided to visit with our granddaughter Skye (five years old) the Goolwa Animal Farm. I read so many good reviews, and I wanted to see this place. The owners are so kind like their many animals. We spent a lot of time with the many rabbits and guinea pigs. Skye found two new friends: a grey rabbit and a brown guinea pig, which she was feeding with carrots, bought in the shop of the owners. Then we had our lunch time at the picnic place. We brought our own breads and vegetables. There is a playground which was very much loved by our Skye. She was hopping from one wood trunk to the other for at least 30 minutes. We met a big brown horse, a pony and a donkey. Then we saw geese, ducks, chicken, two fat pigs, sheep and goats and on a trailer ride emus (for example Mr. Angry, who is really very angry), kangaroos and alpacas. The highlights for us were to be introduced to the 44-year-old Sulphur-crested cockatoo Billy, the nine-year-old python and the three-day-old little goat, which was brought to the owners almost dead after her mother didn't accept it. We three loved this place so much. You feel like being at the farm of your friends. We will be back very soon!!!

We visted the farm on a beautiful morning not long after opening and was already getting busy. We had some great family time picking in the strawberry patch and filled a few tubs. They taste so sweet and fresh. The visitors shop is full of good things. The only thing we think that is missing is a cafe. Imagine being able to sit and have scones, strawberry jam and cream with a coffee or tea, i think this would be very popular and was something we thought would be there. Loved our visit.

Six of us, including SA locals, interstate and overseas friends visited The Cedars where we took a self guided tour of the Han's Heysen Studio, a walk on the property (Artists Walk) and down to the green pool, followed by joining the guided tour of the House and self guided tour of the Nora Heysen Studio. We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the volunteer staff and guides were helpful and informative. One of our overseas guests even commented that she enjoyed it as much as visiting Monet's House and Garden in Giverny! The garden surrounding the house was lovely with many old fashioned plants and flowers and lawned areas, and the Artist's Walk took in magnificent gum trees on the bushland property.

10. Oodnadatta Track
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Imelda6450 - Alice Springs, Australia
That's how my American wife described the Oodnadatta Track. The flies were atrociously plentiful even on a day when the wind was blowing at close to gale force. The Explorer's Way was traversed from William Creek to Marree, which was the recommended route given us by a tour bus driver! They recommended coming from north to south from the top of the Lake Eyre basin down to the more ancient top end of the northern Flinders Ranges. I'm so glad we followed that advice, too. We hired an SUV to complete the journey and certainly the higher clearance is absolutely beneficial. The area has enjoyed rain in recent months and we were fortunate to cross a creek, called Margaret Creek, on the edge of Lake Eyre south and there were hundreds of seagulls, flocked there! Made us wish we had the fish and chips to share!!!! There are interesting places to visit along the track and there was even a guy trying to ride a bicycle on the track; although the gale force winds and dust storm we experienced the day we passed through, meant that the best he could do was walk his bike. Brave guy. Definitely made us appreciate the fact that we would do the journey in one day and we had the comfort of air-conditioning and a great vehicle. Take it easy. Meet the amazing cast of characters who call that landscape home and practice gratitude and celebrate and savour every opportunity. The Oodnadatta Track is an amazing journey to undertake; whether in part or in full. Be prepared. Take your time. Help others. Enjoy
