Australian Farmstays

Australian farmstays allow you to leave the hustle and bustle of city life behind and revel in a peaceful pastoral existence.

Bygraves Cottage Bed and Breakfast, York It's where the sound of silence and good old-fashioned hospitality reign supreme.

Farmstays offer you the chance to muck in and contribute to daily outback life. Forget emails and mobiles - get back-to-basics living on the land.

They also provide the perfect family adventure holiday - big kids and little kids will delight in feeding friendly farm animals and taking unhurried bushwalks in the misty mornings.

But don't forget your gumboots as there are plenty of farm duties that need doing if you're keen to get your hands dirty. Learn how to milk a cow or collect eggs in the fresh air of a family-friendly farm.

Accommodation at outback farms range from charming self contained cottages to bed and breakfast at the homestead - and is available all over the State.

At Harvey Hills Farmstay in Harvey, a one and a half hour drive south of Perth, stay on a 615 acre farm with stunning views over the Harvey Dam.

Hand feed pet kangaroos, goats, donkeys, sheep, cattle, chickens and turkeys.

Kengerrup Farmstay, Kojonup In and around Bunbury you can bunk down at Ferguson Farmstay , where the little ones can milk cows, feed baby calves and enjoy pony and tractor rides. Not too far away is Boronia Farm near Donnybrook, offering a self-contained cottage on a 160 acre working organic farm, surrounded by state forest.

At Kinda Farm Bed and Breakfast in Albany - an adults-only farmstay - keen fishermen can throw a line in the trout-filled lake and marvel at the purebred Scottish Highland cows.

Host families will welcome you into their hearts and homes, offering warm, friendly banter, a hot shower and hearty, homemade fare as part of their famous country hospitality.

Be sure to visit the local bar in these rural areas after a day on the farm. Country pubs are jammed with locals sharing colourful stories and a couple of beers after a hard day's work. They're always keen to say G'day, so don't forget to pop in for a pint.
