So, it's the Easter Long Weekend

and today is Good Friday.

We decided to...

...escape the city for the weekend

and we've come out to the

Souther Highlands.

So, we're kinda near Kangaroo Valley

in New South Wales

which is about 2.5 hours from Sydney.

So, we're here for 4 days, 3 nights

and we're at a place called Eco Olive Farmstay.

So, it's a house that's in the rural area of New South Wales

and it's basically a farm.

And we get to stay here

and we get to feed the animals

and they also have an olive farm,

that's why they call it Eco Olive.

And so we get to

pick our own olives later as well.

We don't know what we're going to do,

we're probably gonna do some hiking,

or we're gonna do a bit of exploring.

So, I'll show you guys what we get up to.

Eco Olive Farmstay

is an 80 acre property

nestled between the Southern Tablelands and Southern Highlands.

This area

is in the rural region of New South Wales

famous for it's historical country towns

as well as cool temperate climate.

As it was a public holiday long weekend,

we were very fortunate

to come across this farmstay on the Stayz website.

The house contains 3 bedrooms

and can accommodate up to 10 people.

It's been a while since I've shared a bunk!

We have our own little campfire area.

So, if the weather's nice tonight, we're going to set up a bonfire.

If you look out here, the view, is amazing.

Oh, and over here, this is where we're staying.

In this house right there.

This was our first time staying on a farm

and it was such a nice relaxing experience,

for both the little one

and the young at heart.

As well as the big kid.

It was so calming

watching the sheep playing in the fields,

wandering through the beautiful gardens

and trying to understand

the behaviour of cows.

Waiting for us to move back because they want to cross.

They're a bit worried

Look! They're going now.

Look, they're all going now.

It's okay guys.

We also saw

one of the most beautiful sunsets.

And of course,

we ended the night

with a campfire

under the stars.

It's 6am in the morning now.

We're just out here trying to catch the sunrise.

But, I don't think we're gonna have any luck

cos look at all this fog.

Look, we can still see the moon though.

On our second day on the farm,

we decided to head down to the nearby town

of Goulburn.

Where we had lunch, at this local cafe.

Food was decent,

but to be honest,

service wasn't great

and I even found plastic in my food.

But,

let's not go there.

We spent the rest of the day

just lazing about

and enjoying the peace and quiet of nature.

We ended the night

with this amazing roast dinner

that our friends prepared.

On our third day,

we woke up nice and early

to join the host of the farmstay

to feed the animals.

We even got to collect

some freshly laid eggs.

Hi!

It was so much fun

riding on the back of the ute

out to the paddocks

to feed the cows,

the sheep and the alpacas.

If you like animals like we do,

you will have so much fun.

Have you ever been this close to an alpaca?

The animals are so friendly

that even the little ones

will have a blast.

After a little bit of a break

we headed out in the afternoon

to the olive grove

to pick some olives.

There are roughly 1400 olive trees

on the farm

that are available for harvest

during April and May.

The olives need to be cured with salt

before eating.

So we took plenty home

to remember our time on the farm.
