Vintage style is good for photography. If you love about photography, I do recommend you to get old-style dresses. The mini train ride and an old car. Awesome Australia heritages places. Plenty of car park. Nice Damper Camp, nice food and drink. The price is fine. You can have food and drink with the old-style place. read less

It's a place frozen in time. Everyone is dressed up to fit the time of early settlers.You get to see how kids were educated in the day and lots of other sights and sounds to really take you back in time.Highly recommended. read less

Fantastic family day out. Kids loved the train rides, hay rides and animals. Picnic areas and bbq available as well as reasonable priced kiosk if you don't want to bother with a picnic.

It's got some great old homes and stores to look at and explore that are full of antique furnishings to resemble the past. They have quite a few bbq facilities some as you just drive in near the carpark central to everything and a bbq area around the back near the water that's where we had lunch it was lovely and peaceful we bought our own bbq with us plus they have food you can buy at reasonable prices if you don't want to cook your own. There are horses,sheep ,donkeys that I saw. Plenty of space for kids to run around. I purchased some lovely pottery from a Lollie shop with pottery in the back.I took heaps of photos & a lovely lady working there let me take her photo and she was dressed in a lovely dress from the past. There is a train ride and also a tractor ride there kids would love. I love the set up there and will certainly go there again as I will explore more as I got there late. It's a cheap day out as only $5 to get in and lots to see. The old classroom desks remind me when I was in school. It's a really fascinating place to see. read less

This is a great place for a day out with family. Your kids will love the train ride and the wagon ride.Try to go has often as I can.

The school reenactment was interesting. Food available and not marked up prices. They aren't good at catering for food intolerance though (no non-dairy options for beverages). All run by volunteers so open on Sundays and public holidays and other selected days only. read less

Entry was super cheap! My small sons loved the reptiles and horses and penny farthing rides, my husband and i loved the historic value of the whole place... we will definitely go again! Lots of shady areas too, which was good for such a hot day. Make sure to buy some souvenirs whilst you're there, or grab a treat from the candy shop, or damper and tea from the cafe. Delicious!!! read less
