Arrive at your accommodation – Woodspring Farm is a small working cattle farm just out of Inglewood. You will stay in a self-contained studio cottage with a deck that overlooks a heated pool. Help feed the animals, explore the creeks, build a fire (weather/season permitting) and enjoy some local produce!
It’s farm experience time – call into Leven K Lavender to see how Kellie and Matthew grow and process lavender right there on the farm. While you’re there, call into the Shed Shop and grab yourself a soothing souvenir.
Next stop is Coolmunda Olives. Take a walk through the olive grove and then enjoy the delicious organic products. Chat with the team and find out what it takes to grow, harvest and make the olive products.
Tobacco was previously a major crop grown around the Inglewood and Texas regions in recent history. Explore the local Inglewood tobacco industry at the Inglewood Heritage Centre and Australia Tobacco Museum. They even have full-scale replica tobacco barn and an original share farmer’s cottage.
Jump in the car and head to Texas, a part of the region particularly renowned for its production of high quality grain and grass-fed beef. We recommend stopping for lunch in the Stockman’s Hotel.
After lunch is the famous Texas Rabbit Works Museum – an ode to the rabbit industry of yesteryear that kept Texas and its surrounding areas afloat during the Great Depression and drought years.
Head west towards Goondiwindi to your next accommodation: Melness Cottage. Melness Cottage is a studio-style cottage located on a working farm 33km out of Goondiwindi and is a lovely place to stay for the ultimate on-farm experience.
Enjoy a relaxing cuppa on the verandah of Melness Cottage before heading into Goondiwindi for a Goondiwindi Cotton Tour. The tour shares local knowledge on a comprehensive town tour followed by a visit for a working cotton farm.
Grab some local produce from the Goondiwindi Foodworks – a locally owned family business that prides itself in supplying the community with local produce such as Barambah Dairy, Gooralie Pork, Providence Flour, Brigalow Sourdough and Macintyre Brook Olive Oil.
Get behind the wheel and head on out into the cropping country and see our varieties of crops growing in the paddock – over the summer months you are mostly likely to see sorghum and cotton, while in the cooler months wheat, barley and oats are the most prominent.
As a small region, some tourism locations require bookings. Please always check before
arriving.
