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 .

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!!!

Popped up to KUR-Cow on a cosy winter Saturday morning for a fun activity (we wanted to try ATV quad biking!). The course was great fun, the instructor, Jennifer was lovely and gave us two options of a more basic route... or a more adventurous option... We took the latter through the creek, stopping to feed the bull and cows (and a baby calf) on the way! After the ATV we stayed for lunch, while it was cooking we got to feed the horses, goats, alpacas and ponies as well as have a look at the bird menagerie. The food was epic! We sat with an incredible view of the rainforest... and some of the best ribs I've had in Cairns (we went for the low n slow lunch as we were there early... But talking to the staff they mentioned better for evening BBQ (they also said they host a sunset view, which I think would be nice, so thinking of driving back again one evening). There aren't any signs, but easy enough to find with Google maps or sat nav, at the junction it top of Kuranda range just follow the road opposite (reverse direction) to Kuranda Village. Overall definitely worth a morning trip, and tempted to go back for a horse ride and sunset BBQ!

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.

A most interesting place to have a delicious cup of home grown coffee. Australian owned and family run- I think 3 generations! - the best was chatting with the family members and watching the movie telling of their highs and lows of starting a business and seeing their determination to make a go of it. Very inspiring. Their focus is promoting and undertaking a sustainable ethical business definitely needed for our future. Fantastic food, coffee and ambience. Highly recommend the coffee and watching the movie as a small package. Scones were homemade as well. :-)

Best place if you would like to ride a camel in the jungle. (Bit expensive though) Staff was very friendly and holds loads of knowledge about what they are doing. Camels were super great friendly and obedient. I had my 7 months old baby with me riding the camel. Toilets are available Keep you go pro with you as riding a camel In the jungle means alot of adventure Loads and loads of flies which is a bit irritating. Have your net cap on and u can enjoy the fullest Little farm is also available there consisting of coockatoo, EMU, hens , ducks etc. staff allow you yo feed EMU.
