SHEEPWORLD !


Sophia with a lamb

We've driven past this so many times, that when the wind picked up on our last day, we decided to give it a go.


Girls with Bambi


Oh dear!


It has a Black Sheep Cafe, lamb feeding, sheep shearing (with a difference), deer stroking, llamas, strange coloured ducks, rabbits who follow the lambs around, silkie chickens, live possums and we ended the visit with eel feeding - they don't half have a bite to them!!


Sheep being herded

The sheep shearing was filled with humour and he literally "pulled the wool over her eyes" and after she was shorn she just lay there and had a snooze!

The girls were mobbed by lambs at one point, desperate for their mid-morning feed. The Japanese tourists were utterly delighted but terrified! All the more for us then! Not the best country to visit if you're frightened of sheep!
