Visiting a farm

Farm Day

If you would like to spend a day helping out on a farm and finding out what life is like on a farm, you can register to go on Farm Day. Farm Day is a national event held on the last weekend of May each year. A family is matched with a farming family and the two spend a day together. It’s a great way to learn a bit about farming and meet some people who live a very different life to yours.

For more information or to register for Farm Day go to www.farmday.com.au.

Farm stays

If you’d like a farm holiday, there are a number of farms that offer farm stay accommodation and great experiences like mustering cattle in the outback. To find one that suits you, just Google “farm stays”.
