Australia: Experience life on a farm
"I took my 10-year-old son to stay on a real working farm, the Hanericka Farmstay, in Australia. We felt like part of the family. They cooked us fantastic breakfast, lunch and dinner. We went horseback riding, fed the animals, milked goats, rode motorbikes. They have more than 6,000 acres of beautiful countryside. We also had a bonfire with billy tea and damper. A unique Australian experience." Double rooms from $197.
Hanericka Farmstay, McRorie's Road, Yerong Creek, N.S.W. 2642; 011-61-2-6920-3709, http://www.hanericka.com.au .
