Our Hobby farm is so beautiful and quite it is relaxing, the view and the serenity is outstanding . We are surrounded by bush and mountains so if bush walking is your thing we can point you in the correct direction .,
you can also try Emu feeding .--- feeding our Cattle is a fun and interesting thing to do . We have push bikes that you are welcome to use .-- Groom the horses - If you would like to spend time relaxing by the pool you are most welcome to do this . We can take you for a Quad Bike ride as well .You can try fishing in our Dam , Explore the creek , Rock climbing in the bush .

Sitting by the fire at night is a nice way to spend some time maybe roast a marshmallow or two !
previous Work awayers have said just being on the farm experiencing the beauty , the animals and the stillness is exchange enough . We do have stunning beaches 30 min drive from us .
