Farming Activities
As you step onto Churchill Island, you'll be transported back in time, exploring its historical grounds and experiencing the timeless rhythms of farming life. The Churchill Island Heritage Farm is the centerpiece of the island's attractions. It provides an authentic representation of rural life in the 19th century. Visitors can take part in traditional farming practices, including sheep shearing, cow milking, and working dog demonstrations. The farm is home to heritage livestock breeds, such as Clydesdale horses, which were once essential for farming tasks.
See Beautiful Seabirds
Visitors can wander through the carefully maintained gardens, including the cottage garden, rose garden, and orchards. As you explore the bay trails and various vantage points, keep an eye out for species such as silver gulls, pacific gulls, and crested terns gracefully gliding over the water. Lastly, visit the historic homestead called "Amess House," which was built in the 1870s. It's a well-preserved example of early colonial architecture in Australia.
