For those living in dense cities, Paradise Country is a breath of fresh air. Only 45 minutes south of Brisbane, Paradise Country provides a quick escape for those looking to experience rustic Australian outback life. Upon arrival, the whole family can roam around to interact and play with all the unique wildlife Australia has to offer. You'll be able to feed the kangaroos, and see all your usual farmhouse friends! A great experience for the kids! Pay attention to the show schedule, you won’t want to miss seeing what Aussie farm life is all about. Learn about sheep shearing, animal herding with sheep dogs, riding stock horses, and throwing boomerangs at these fun and educational shows. Grab some lunch at the on-site restaurant, or make it a picnic with a view of the farm! The kids will love helping out in the Animal Nursery with daily bottle feeding of our gorgeous lambs, piglets and calves available. Cuddle our chicks or guinea pigs and meet with our friendly range of goats and sheep in the outdoor enclosure. A visit to the Australian Native Animal Enclosure to feed the kangaroos and learn all about our koalas is sure to delight.
