The Sheep and Cows

Before the introduction of Viticulture in 1969, the entire region was the home to tens of thousands of sheep for their wonderful wool and exquisite meat and cattle for their rich creamy milk and tender beef.

In the decades past, there were many different types of breeds of both animals and many of todays farmers are carrying on the traditional farming started by their generational families in the region. Both animals dot the entire country side in the region.

Today sees a lot less of the traditional farming as Viticulture Land, Olive Orchards, Venison and Kangaroo breeding farms start to take up a commercial place in the landscape.

On very rare occasions you might just come across a Golden Retriever fishing in the side road ditch during the wet season!!!
