The countryside in European and American movies looks just like this—wide-open farms where cows and sheep graze leisurely, afternoons spent shearing adorable lambs and milking sheep, evenings gathered around a barbecue with friends, chatting and relaxing. After spending too much time in the city, why not experience farm life at the traditional Warrook Cattle Farm? Become a “farmer for a day” amidst the grand and expansive scenery.

Warrook Cattle Farm is located about 55 minutes southeast of Melbourne. This 300-acre farm features century-old farmhouse buildings, beautiful gardens, and vast pastures. Visitors typically enjoy a barbecue lunch and afternoon tea here, then take a farm vehicle to feed and bottle-feed lambs, as well as watch a fascinating sheepdog herding demonstration. The entire flock of sheep moves obediently according to commands, and the staff even select one to shear—a truly entertaining sight.

Warrook Farm is a well-known tourist ranch, home to more than 600 sheep and cattle, including award-winning Murray Grey cattle. There are also friendly kangaroos and koalas. In addition to enjoying the farm scenery, farm-fresh food, wine, and various activities, the farm owners also open their historic farmhouse—with many antique furnishings—for visitors to explore. If the group is small, guests can even dine with the owners in their private dining room, experiencing the warm hospitality of the farm.
