Tour Description

Getting There: Depart Perth at 7.30am to allow for a leisurely drive to Boshack. Driving up the Darling scarp through to Gidgigannup (Aboriginal word for place of spears) with a toilet stop in Toodyay Visitors Centre (1 hour from Perth City), one of the oldest historic towns in Western Australia. Leaving Toodyay at 9am drive another 25mins to arrive at the Bolgart Store at 9.30am to meet guide for Farm Animal Feed.

Farm Animal Feed (1 hour): You will be taken to a 3000 acre working farm and go out with the farmer to feed the heards of 400 cattle, 300 sheep, 100 pigs, 100 chooks, shetland ponies and goats. A drink refreshment will be served on the farmers verandah.

Boshack Wild Eco Outback Farm: Wildlife/Pioneer/Eco Park/Heritage welcomes you with damper scones jam and cream before pulling freshwater crayfish(yabbies) nets.

A small 100 metre bushwalk through the eerie paperbarks past a very old historical well and then into a Dreaming time area. This was a very special meeting place to escape the heat and for you to listen to pioneers and aborigine stories,try bush chocolate and a go at playing the didgeridoo.

50 metres further on is a typical Australian farm sheep enterprise & discussion and how the flock is managed and a shearing shed facilities to observe what is required to remove the wool from the sheep.

A small journey deeper into the outback through pristine bushland with abundance of wildflowers in season.

Continue further through the banksia's until all of a sudden you have what some say is mystique, others say unique and others say amazing and we find its just not the view but the feeling it leaves in ones inner self.

Enjoy a traditional Aussie BBQ with a bushmans egg before or after canoeing in a shallow lake Serene, where turtles can be sometimes seen sitting on the lake bed and then to feed our friendly kangaroos or maybe the black swan if available.

Optional Extra: Hayride & Bushtucker tasting (kangaroo , crocodile, emu) with bush sauces.
