SA & VIC Tour

Planning is underway for a study tour through Victoria and South Australia in 2024. Expressions of interest are open now to join, no deposit required at this point. Farmers, industry, and partners are welcome.

While there are plenty of details to confirm, the basic plan is to fly into Melbourne, catch a game of football, and travel to Hamilton for Sheepvention Rural Expo. We will then head to Tailem Bend and Murray Bridge, then Kangaroo Island, and finish in Adelaide with another Football game, with a bit of luck. 

Tour Dates will be 2-10 August 2024. 

The site visits we hope to include are Jigsaw Farms – Carbon Neutral Farming, cattle in Redgums at the foot of the Grampian Ranges, a dairy visit in Victoria, a lucerne seed farm near Keith, a large cattle feedlot at Tintinara, a plot trial site in the Meningie area, cropping river flats at Murray Bridge and a tour of the newly opened Thomas Foods plant or a paddle boat cruise, site visits on Kangaroo Island, a McLaren Vale Winery lunch and a tour of the Michell Wool processing plant, to name a few. 

Early indicative price for flights, accommodation, bus hire and fuel, ferry and organisational time is $3000 each. Meals and drinks would be at your own cost as well as the paddle boat cruise. 

Seats will be limited to 20 so be quick to register your interest, some seats are taken already.
