If you’ve never seen a sheep or visited a farm, this might be a novelty for you, but don’t be surprised if your Aussie friends cringe when you mention your intention to visit it. That said, this is a popular attraction with overseas visitors and school groups - you may have to contend with busloads of them.
The ram show features eight trained Australian rams that “answer” to their names and walk through the audience to take their place beside their named spots on the stage. There’s also sheep shearing, spinning, and sheepdog demonstrations, and you can get your hands dirty classing wool, milking cows, feeding kangaroos, and cuddling koalas (a photo costs A$15/US$12). The gift shop has quality Australian-made souvenirs. A rustic restaurant serves Aussie specialties, including billy tea and damper.
On some Friday and Saturday nights - usually about once a month - the Woolshed hosts a traditional bush dance and dinner, featuring country dancing, spoon-playing, singalongs, a live band, and a two-course dinner. Tickets cost A$40 (US$32) per person. The fun starts at 7pm. Reservations are essential.
