Nanna Review:
I walked into the farm barn holding my two grand children , ( Blake – 12yrs ) and (Winnie 18 mth ) firmly by the hands. Within a few minutes they were totally on their own , my job for the rest if the day was just to walk behind them and watch as they were totally absorbed by the animals , big and small. I never heard or had to say , ” don’t touch ” ” be careful ” the kids were encouraged to hold, pet, and feed the animals. My grand daughter like lots of other children there was to small to reach over the pens to feed the baby animals ( perfect solution ) they put the little ones in the pens with the animals. It was a full house the day we went but I noticed probably 70/cent of the people were tourists , shame to think the locals don’t seem to be aware of the farm barn and it’s on our door step, we don’t have to fly half way around the world to enjoy it. It was a fabulous day and I would recommend it , a place where kids can be kids and animals can be animals together.

Right across the road from the Minlaton Caravan Park and the Minlaton Playground is the HJ & Brian Cook Native Animal Reserve. You can’t go inside, but take the kids for a walk around the perimeter to have a look at the emus, wallabies and birdlife. There are a few shady seats around the outside for you to sit and watch the animals. The emus were as curious about us as we were about them and followed us the whole way around! When we visited, there were tiny emu chicks which were just adorable! The wallabies were harder to spot but it was lovely seeing them in such a natural habitat eating and cleaning themselves or sunning themselves. For a free bit of entertainment, we think this is a great way to spend half an hour while you are on the Yorke Peninsula! Find it on Spencer Hwy, Minlaton

If you are spending a day or a weekend with your family in Goolwa, Port Elliot, Victor Harbor or anywhere on the Fleurieu Peninsula, a visit to the Goolwa Barrage is a must! Not only does it play an important part in the water flow and management of the Coorong, Murray River and Lower Lakes there is also some stunning birdlife to see and the main attraction - seals playing in the water and lazing in the sun on the barrage structures. It's completely FREE to take a walk and is only about a 1.5 hour drive from Adelaide. What actually is a Barrage? According to the SA Department of Environment and Water: "The barrage may be a great spot to visit, but it’s not just a pretty face. It’s one of five structures – known as the Goolwa Barrages – that play an important role in the health of the lower part of the River Murray. Since the start of intensive development like taking river water to irrigate crops, and the construction of dams and other water regulating infrastructure along the River Murray, the volume of water flowing down the river across the SA border has been significantly reduced.…
