Crossing education with agricultural fun, Melville’s Baby Animal Petting Farm is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the main show.
Spend some time away with the baby animals in this private corner of the show, and don’t forget to take up the offer of feeding some of the larger animals when you get the chance.
“Otherwise, the animals won’t come over to you; the animals need a reason to come say hi,” said Craig Melville, one half of the couple behind the hit travelling farm.
This travelling petting farm has been a major attraction for Show Whitsunday, with adults and children alike flocking in for a warm snuggle and to feed the baby animals.
Boasting the very best of farm animals, including pigs, goats, chickens, guinea pigs, ducks, sheep, cow, and an alpaca, this is sure to entertain and amuse every member of the family.
This year, Melville’s is excited to introduce some special animals that are new to the petting farm.
Six mini lop eared rabbits, something that a lot of Queensland families won’t see so close and personal, plus four llamas, a donkey, quails, and the massive dinosaur chicken.
This travelling petting farm brings all the fun of farm-life straight to the clutches of our coastal living, with the best of exotic creature.
Don’t forget to say hi to Bindi and Mouse, the mother-child duo of miniature blue cattle dogs, who are always on show, up high on hay bales, with their matching bandanas. You can’t miss them!
