G'day
Travellers! My name's Rowan, that's me up top with my most
loyal mate - Freckles. I've lived here in Arcadia Valley with my
family - Wally, Helen, Pauline and her husband, Justin my whole life. Our family
has been in Arcadia Valley since the area
was first properly developed in the 1960's. My father was amongst the first pioneers to
tame the land which was a densely covered Brigalow block with no permanent water
and little wildlife.
Improving
the land for cattle was a huge task but
over the past 40 years the area has been developed into a productive
cattle property and a thriving habitat for native plants and animals.
Our farming methods are
focused on sustainable
agriculture and we value every opportunity to share our knowledge
with other people and learn what else we can do to improve our methods. Over the years many specialist
groups have visited for field days, news crews have found their way to our
property and visitors from around the world have experienced our Outback
hospitality.
Arcadia Valley Escape is a
natural addition to our cattle enterprise, offering a personal insight into everyday 'life on
the farm' so individuals such as yourself can see, smell and touch what
the Outback is all about. With myself, and the rest of my
family being such people-persons and so dedicated to sustainable
agriculture, venturing into the tourism industry was a simple decision so
we welcome you to come and let us show you - 'life as we know it!'.
