Paradise Country (solo trip)

It offered a more relaxed atmosphere, with a rural charm that was refreshing. The shows were surprisingly engaging—especially the stockman and horse shows, which gave a nice insight into Aussie farm life. It was great to see characters like Shaun the Sheep, w...

We had such a good day at the farm. It’s really spacious and relaxed, and the animals are super friendly. The kids had a blast brushing the goats and checking out all the animals up close.
