Southern Charm Day Trip 1 |
|
|
Today we would like to take you to the rich and
diverse agricultural country we call Southern Charm.
The
attractions will help you understand what this region has to offer.
We start with the unusual, at Strathmerton, just 15 minutes
drive south, Australia's Largest landscaped Cactus Farm.
Continue on to Nathalia for morning tea and then to Tongala
and the Golden Cow.
A working dairy farm display, where you
can milk a cow, cuddle a calf and feed the farm animals.
Next, native fauna and the award winning, Kyabram Fauna
Park.
Set in a native environment, which allows visitors to
experience the true beauty and gentleness of our Wildlife Heritage.
After lunch, available at the fauna park, our trip takes us
to Mooroopna and the Ardmona Factory Sales where produce of the
region can be sampled and purchased.
So now with car loaded
up we make our way back to "Toc".
Drive towards Shepparton
and look for signs to Numurkah and Tocumwal.
We have one
more stop at the strawberry farm situated at Koonoomoo 6km south of
Tocumwal just the treat to finish a great day. |

This next trip we recommend will also give you a
valuable insight into this Southern Charm region.
We first
take you to the township of Numurkah, travel south over the Murray
River from Tocumwal through Strathmerton and follow the
signs.
Here in Numurkah we recommend a visit to Marie's House
of Dolls, a lifetime collection of 2000 dolls, and the Melville St
Market for antiques and collectables.
Next stop, Shepparton,
to the SPC Factory Sales & Packhouse Cafe for Lunch.
Enjoy the produce of this rich agricultural area at the sale
prices.
Cannery tours are also available. Emerald Bank
Heritage Farm on the south side of Shepparton is next.
A
working farm set in the 1930s, with hands on experience and rides
for the family.
The drive home can provide an opportunity to
explore your own interests, with many attractions in the different
towns along the way.
Whether its wineries, antiques,
historic buildings or a beer with the locals.
We hope you
feel comfortable to experience it all whilst travelling around. See
you back at Tocumwal. | |
