Shows & Experiences

The whole family will be captivated by the variety of authentic shows and experiences that a day on the farm provides. There is nothing quite like the excitement of the Stockman Show, where you can watch skilled stockmen and their clever dogs round up a flock of sheep, witness the power of a cracking stock whip, and see trusty stock horses put through their paces. Between the action, you can gather around the campfire to sample delicious, traditional Billy Tea and damper while soaking in the rugged atmosphere of the outback. Additionally, don't miss Shaun the Sheep’s Aussie Adventure, an interactive stage show in the Shearing Shed that brings a touch of "sheepish" mischief to the farm.
