On Friday, the 8th of January 2021, my husband and I decided to visit with our granddaughter Skye (five years old) the Goolwa Animal Farm. I read so many good reviews, and I wanted to see this place. The owners are so kind like their many animals. We spent a lot of time with the many rabbits and guinea pigs. Skye found two new friends: a grey rabbit and a brown guinea pig, which she was feeding with carrots, bought in the shop of the owners. Then we had our lunch time at the picnic place. We brought our own breads and vegetables. There is a playground which was very much loved by our Skye. She was hopping from one wood trunk to the other for at least 30 minutes. We met a big brown horse, a pony and a donkey. Then we saw geese, ducks, chicken, two fat pigs, sheep and goats and on a trailer ride emus (for example Mr. Angry, who is really very angry), kangaroos and alpacas. The highlights for us were to be introduced to the 44-year-old Sulphur-crested cockatoo Billy, the nine-year-old python and the three-day-old little goat, which was brought to the owners almost dead after her mother didn't accept it. We three loved this place so much. You feel like being at the farm of your friends. We will be back very soon!!!

Michael Finnis is passionate about cars. Former racing car driver, his passion is very infectious as he will happily spin stories of years past and his experiences. At the end of a visit, it becomes difficult to decide which was better – the cars or Michael’s reminiscing! The wide variety of vintage and restored cars are on display in a large shed with a mezzanine floor. Michael gives a personal introduction about the museum as you enter the museum, and then you are free to explore. Information about each vehicle is on display on front of the relevant car. For the young at heart, there is also a wide collection of Matchbox model cars. With a very nominal entrance fee, the time spent sharing Michael’s passion is well worth it. Whether an avid car fanatic or just someone who can appreciate past cars, you will find the time spent well worth it. Photos are permitted. Return? It is on the ever growing list and look forward to being mesmerized again by Michael’s yarns!

Art Gallery in a National Trust Building. We are an association of Artists showcasing our work in our local community, exhibiting an exciting mix of Original Art.
I personally loved the jewellery made from used coffee pods, but my partner loved the wooden bespoke furniture. They also had knitwork, lots of boutique handbags, canvas paintings, metalwork, pottery and glassblown items. The people at reception were very friendly and happily gave us information about other things to do in the area. There was no pressure to buy

A lovely drive along the Goolwa waterways towards the Barrages. Lots of bird life. Nice walk along the barrages and you may see a boat going through to the ocean side. There is a nice grassed picnic area with facilities and an Information area about the construction and history of the Goolwa Barrages. Well worth the trip to see.

Clean and nice long stretch. My kids enjoyed the sand, although it was cold. Luckily it did not rain. Planning on visiting during the summers.
