City Farm VIsit

The kids and I ventured out to the upper north end of the city today to visit the Collingwood Children’s Farm. It is literally 20 meters from a freeway but once you enter the farm you would never know it. It was very open and friendly (like all Australian’s we’ve met so far, animals included).

The brown and white ducks are called racing ducks but they are kept not for racing but for their superior laying ability. Duck eggs are very common here. You can buy them in the grocery stores.

The adolescent piglets were named Maybelle and Isobel. They know their names and immediately came up to the fence to beg!
