Emeral Bank Heritage Farm

Come and experience our fantastic day at Emerald Bank Heritage Farm in Shepparton. It was a hot and steamy day, but the cloud cover and slight breeze made sure that we didn't noticed it too much.



Frank took us on a hay ride with the tractor and trailer. We saw kangaroos and an old farm house. The grass was very long and green, and the mozzies were hungry!

Here is Jeremiah holding some fluffy seeds that were floating down from the trees. There were so many seeds on the ground that it looked like it was covered in soft fur from the alpacas.

Here we are looking at the most enormous bull that we have ever seen!

These goats were moulting and Ashton was quite fascinated with their wool that he found blowing into the path.

Connor learned the hard way not to pat a piglet on the snout. Luckily it didn't do too much damage, and Connor won't do that again, for a while at least!

We had fun looking around, and of course we found our way to the toilets very quickly.

Only a couple of us have ever been on a real horse before, so having a chance to ride Thomas was such a thrill to us all. Thanks to Diane and Thomas for making a great day just perfect with this special ending to our day.

We got the best laughs of the day when Miss Coats and Mrs Rizzo had their turns on the Merry-go-round.

Tom is quite a fan of model railways and he has told us a lot about them. It was so exciting to be able to finally have a ride on a model train to see what Tom was always so enthusiastic about. Now we know, because we all had a such fun, especially when we went through the tunnel!

Now, come and have a listen to some of the things that we had to say about our day at Emerald Bank once we got back to school.

Thanks to Diane and Frank of Emerald Bank for making our trip such a great success. Also special thanks to Noah's Mum Veronica, and Lachlan's Mum Paula for being those very important extra set of eyes and pair of hands.
