It was wonderful to get out into the country and tour the sheep farm. The bus drivers were very knowledgeable about the towns history.

Waited an hour to get started... no reason given. Driver was negative about everything... bike riders out for exercise were "idiots", government programs were "stupid", spoke negative about native animals, etc. It was tiring! Ride around town was boring. Long ride to the farm to see a 5 minute roundup of sheep and 5 minute sheep shearing. While the later was interesting, it wasn't worth the long trip and the "show" was so short. Tour company also puts two groups in one van so you end up driving to two places and waiting.... again. Driver ran a stop sign trying to get us home and almost hit a tractor trailer! WOW! I wouldn't recommend this trip

The farm was wonderful, great learning how the family farm operates. Lovely scenic drive to the farm as well. Small group tour is the way to go.
