If your little animal lovers are keen for a farm adventure with a twist, the Highland Cattle tractor-pulled carriage ride is the cutest countryside experience! Hop aboard the comfy carriage as the tractor rumbles its way through the paddocks, taking you on a slow cruise down to meet the cute little shaggy superstars — the Highland cows!
You’ll roll down to their paddock where everyone gets the chance to feed them some special grass; the cows know it’s the good stuff, as they literally race to greet you! Big horns, big fringes, big personalities — and they come right up to say hello. It’s a wholesome, gentle (unless the little ones try to eat the bigger ones food!) and absolutely unforgettable experience.
And your ticket doesn’t stop there! Make a day of it with all the classic Churchill Island demos included: sheep shearing, whip cracking, cow milking and the ever-popular working dog show. It’s a close-up look at farm life, perfect for curious kiddos and grown-ups who love a good country immersion and the chance to say hello to some friendly animals! Make sure you say hello to Dolly the glorious pig!
Pack snacks, pop on your farm-friendly shoes and get ready for a tractor-load of fun!

An island off an island. Churchill Island is a must do if you have a family and kids learning all the different animal noises! This historic island is a little oasis and wonderful little spot to spend the afternoon, learning about Australian farm life.
The best time is the afternoon where the farm comes alive with whip cracking, cow milking, working dog demonstrations and sheep shearing. Although it is also the busiest time, there is plenty of room to see. There are your classic farm animals; cows, sheep, a couple of pigs and chooks. Then of course, keep your eyes out for a turkey, some ferrets, peacock and don’t forget to sneak behind the shearing shed to spy some wallabies.
The grounds of this farm are exquisite with stunning gardens surrounding the historical buildings and cottages. Here the family will learn about early European settler life in the original buildings on the property. Whether you bring a picnic lunch or dine in the cafe, you are bound to have an enjoyable visit.
