My Travel Bay

Next time when you visit to Gold Coast, do experience the real farm life at Paradise Country. Besides that, you can enjoy some attractive shows while having a cup of billy tea.   

A ride drove us to the farm 

cute baby koala

Immerse yourself in Australian wildlife by snuggling up with Australia’s most amazing native animal, the koala and get up close with other native animals like kangaroos and emus. You can even cuddle the koala and take photo with it. Well, koalas need suitable tree species, usually eucalyptus to survive. I got to know that baby koala actually called a “Joey” which is less than 2cm long and weighs less than 1g when born.

I’m so excited when I see kangaroo though it’s the Australian’s most amazing native animal too besides koala. Do you know that eastern grey kangaroos have excellent senses of smell, sight and hearing? When an eastern grey kangaroo senses danger, it will thump the ground with it’s hind legs to warn the rest of the mob. Clever huh ?

Billy tea show

Stock horse show

Whip cracking

After photo taking with koala, it’s time for us to experience a traditional Australian Billy Tea making and damper made by a local stockman around the campfire. Next, witness the amazing horse skills of their stockmen in spectacular stock horse demonstration. Then, hubby was invited to join the whip cracking game.

Sheep shearing show

Dining hall

We enjoyed our barbeque lunch in the hall at 12pm. Whilst enjoying lunch, we were entertained with some Aussie music. Some tourists even join in the fun of bush dancing with the staffs. LOL!!!
