We went back to Hosanna Farmstay this winter, two years after our first visit, and I’ll say it straight away, it’s now our kid’s favourite place to camp! Rain, mud, an outdoor shower in the cold and all! Hosanna is a small working farm in Stokers Siding, in the Tweed Valley in northern NSW, at […]
White Ridge Farm Reviews
Saturdays are usually a packed day, kids finish up whatever classes they’ve got on, then it’s about finding something to do with the autumn afternoon. Meeting up with friends for a wander around a small farm, feeding the animals, turned out to be a solid choice. Not too cold, not too hot either. Where It […]
Capalaba Produce Review – The Petting Zoo Hidden in a Brisbane Produce Store
It’s a mini petting zoo hidden in the city, for kids who like small animals when you don’t want to make a special trip out to a farm. First time at Capalaba Produce. It reminded me of the flower and bird markets back in China, but more Australian. It’s a farm supplies store that’s been […]
Symbio Wildlife Park Reviews
Spent a morning at Symbio, the wildlife park south of Sydney, ended up patting kangaroos until my arm got tired. One thing to clear up first, it’s in Helensburgh, not near Kiama, Kiama’s a lot further south, this one sits between Sydney and Wollongong, close to Stanwell Park and Bald Hill lookout. Took us about […]
Trevena Glen Farm Reviews
Facebook wouldn’t stop showing me this place, every single day for weeks. Figured Brisbane gets boring enough on a weekend that we may as well give it a go. Has to be booked online ahead of time. Two options, Group Tour or Personal Tour. Group is what we did, $20 a person booked ahead, you […]

The Funky Farm Reviews
It just popped into my head out of nowhere, I really wanted to pat a wombat! I scrolled through Instagram for ages and found people mentioning – The Funky Farm, 209 Coolart Rd, Hastings VIC 3915, you can only book in advance, there’s no buying tickets on the spot! $30 per person. In short: this […]
Bodalla Dairy Shed Reviews
We weren’t planning to stop in Bodalla at all. It’s one of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it villages on the Princes Highway, somewhere between Batemans Bay and Narooma, and if it weren’t for a friend’s offhand comment about “the dairy place with the calves,” we’d have driven straight past it. Instead, we lost a happy hour and a […]
Collingwood Children’s Farm Reviews
We found this place completely by accident back in 2023. We’d driven out to look at Dights Falls, parked, and on the walk back there was this gate we hadn’t noticed on the way in — Collingwood Children’s Farm, right there on the Yarra, five minutes from Abbotsford. We’d lived in the inner north for […]
Myuna Farm Petting Zoo Reviews
A $10 day that completely over-delivered I didn’t research this one beforehand, just the opening hours, and honestly I’m glad I didn’t, because the whole day turned into one nice surprise after another. Myuna Farm is out in Doveton, about 40 minutes south-east of the city, and for what it costs to get in, it […]
