Tobruk Sydney

Located in the magnificent Hawkesbury Valley, just over one hour from the heart of Sydney CBD, Tobruk Sydney offers you a day like no other. The expansive acreage overlooking the Hawkesbury River Valley and Blue Mountains allows you to experience a variety of activities, suitable for all ages. With sheep shearing, working dogs mustering sheep, duck shows, whip and boomerang demonstrations and Stockman on horseback, Tobruk Sydney is packed full of fun experiences you will never forget. Greeted by a Stockman on horseback, you will drive into Tobruk Sydney with breathtaking views of the property, with the Blue Mountains showing off in the background. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the friendly staff and they will direct you over to our 'Drovers Camp' where the Stockman will tell you all about life on a sheep station. Tasting the delicious Billy Tea and Damper that the Stockman has cooked fresh for you that morning, you will have your first experience of life as a Stockman. Watching the outback show has many exciting experiences, such as the unique Whip & Boomerang and Duck Show, along with discovering how the working dogs are trained. You will see the working dogs in action, as they muster the sheep into the sheep yards. Immerse yourself in the fascinating live sheep shearing demonstration, before heading back over to the Drovers Camp for a freshly-cooked Aussie BBQ lunch (included in our Premium & Afternoon program). Once you've enjoyed your delicious lunch, try your hand at cracking a whip or throwing a boomerang, or jump on a an optional tractor for a tour of the whole property.

It was excellent choice to do something different in Sydney ! The economy program (starts with the drovers camp - how to make billy tea and tasting of fresh bake dampers . Then was demo of boomerang and whip crackling- very entertaining ! There was the working dog herding the sheep - the dog Bendi was just too clever ! The show ended with sheep shearing , very interactive and educational ). The hostress Tess was just brilliant ! She made us laughed so much, my family from Malaysia were very impressed. The staffs (Kellie, Maria, Nick) were so lovely. We felt so welcomed. The homestead, was definately better than what we had imagined. Its basic but clean and cozy. There was no internet and phone reception , which makes it perfect for people who really want to spend some quality time together without any technology interference. We brought Jenga with us, we went out for a walk, played with Bendi and had a few go with boomerang, we had a fantastic time !!! Thanks for the excellent hospitality .

Went there with no expectations at all. Amazed that we had not been before. Restoration has been to maintain the original feel of a property that has been held in one family for 6 generations. All the staff are totally committed to the visitor leaving totally amazed that this could exist in the Hills of Sydney and not been made into a television series or movie. Words do not do justice to this experience. do not miss it.

Fagan Park

Reviewed By giawawasydney - Sydney, Australia

We wanted to get away from the crowd this weekend and accidentally found this place. The map says this garden has ''Gardens of Many nations" in it. Sounds interesting! It is around one-hour's drive away from the city center. Ideal distance! The garden turned out smaller than we expected, but it has several lakes of different styles, beautiful mini gardens of different nations (we saw people taking wedding pictures there), kids playgrounds, and even an area to fly model aircraft (not sure whether that is open to the public or not, we only watched from a distance). My favourite was the reserved area at a corner of the garden. It is full of tranquility and totally refreshing, if one slows down and embraces the nature. Miraculous! Although it is winter, the garden is so colorful!
