Description

My family would like to invite travelers to stay with us at our farm in the centre of NSW at Condobolin 5 hours drive west of Sydney. We have been having so much fun hosting people and making new friends.

You will see the most amazing Australian birds including kookaburra and different types of parrots. You can find kangaroos and emus in almost every paddock. Take in a beautiful Sunset anytime of the year. In your spare time there is great swimming in the creek or in summer we can take you to catch freshwater crayfish. Plenty of bush and open space to get 'lost' in.

A 10 000 acre (4000ha) property with up to 5000 sheep, 200 cattle and 1500 acres of crop.

We are all very interested in growing and producing our own food. We have an orchard and grow a large veggie garden. We also have chooks, geese, turkeys and ducks.

We are a family of five, Tim and Sue (mid 40's) Max and Tiff (26 & 23) and our Nan (70). We live and work on the property and also travel in our spare time.

We also breed Labrador and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs. We very much love dogs.
