An interesting tour of Goondiwindi Cotton Farm and a drive around the town. We were very appreciative that on this very hot day with minimum numbers (just our family of 3) the tour went ahead and Mike, our tour guide/driver wasn’t phased by having such a small group. We visited the farm and received very informative commentary by Mike and were able to grasp an understanding of how this industry works - how the ground is prepared, growing, irrigation and harvesting. We then saw clothing that is made from the local cotton at the company’s shop in the town. Morning tea was delicious damper and coffee at the Customs House Museum where we had plenty of time to look at the museum collection of machinery and artifacts. This is an excellent tour for visitors as you learn a lot about the local area as well as cotton growing.
