Collingwood
Children’s Farm
Located much closer to the CBD than one would expect to find
a farm, it is only a short drive or a pleasant walk along the Yarra.
Collingwood farm is a modern day, sustainable version of Old McDonald’s farm. Full
of all the animals you would expect. The seven hectare property includes
gardens, animals, markets and a café.
There is opportunity to milk cows, pet guinea pigs, ride
horses, bottle feed new born animals and roam with the goat. The famer can
attract big numbers of family gatherings and children’s parties. The size of
the property means that there is still plenty of room to roam away from the
crowds.
The food in the café is delicious, alternatively take a
picnic and sit quietly somewhere on the grounds. The cafes and bakery of
Abbotsford Convent are also just next door. Stay for an hour, stay for a day
Families $18
Adults $9

Kayak Melbourne
See the sights of Melbourne from the unique vantage point of
gently paddling along the Yarra River. There are different tours available that
vary in length and have different inclusions including yoga and the Eureka
Skydeck.
Instruction will be given to newbees. Paddling is a
surprisingly relaxing way to get a lot of exercise and have a bit of fun in the
water. What a great way to soak up the summer sun.
