Mamma says throw on your overalls and gumboots, start chewin' some hay and take a drive to Diggers Rest to visit Animal Land Children's Farm.

Animal Land has so much to see and do - kiddies get a pony ride plus visit the animal nursery and then you can feed the ducks on the pond, feed the donkeys and cows and chickens too! This is a self-guided farm so, grab your free animal food, hand sanitiser and map then away you go.
There is also a playground, a cafe and plenty of tables and chairs for a self-catered picnic too.

Animal Land is open most days of the school holidays now so no need to wait for a petting zoo to come to you.
Oh, and they do bithday parties - hoedown anyone?

Mamma's special mention: Someone say farmstay? You can also stay on the property in a self contained cabin that sleeps up to 7 people - click here for more info
